...not trying to make this political
(moderator if you feel it is then feel free to delete this thread)
But I am curious to hear from those folks who have toured the cigar factories about working conditions.
I have tried to do some research on the net, but the fact that since these places are overseas there is little information, and one would expect little regulation about the factories.
The only things I could find were
generic comments about Bermejo providing exceptional care for their workers.
Also found a site claiming that in Cuba expert cigar rollers make $35/hour.
The pictures I have seen on here from folks who have toured the factories made me wonder if it is possible to be a conscious cigar smoker, kinda of like the popularity of "Free Trade" coffee.
You know, like somehow smoking for a bigger purpose than just myself.
peace,
pugs
