Skilled cigar roller showed us how it is done. Also on display is a VERY long cigar that he rolled to earn mention in The Guinness World Book of Records - I don't remember how many meters long it was but since then (Apr. 2015) he has likely rolled a longer one, yet.

Go to this place to see the legend "Cueto" and his record breaking 90 meter cigar. Buy a cigar and a coffee and it would be worth everything I believe.

It's worth the visit, the guy who rolls cigars with a guiness record, the wonderful smell of cigars but didn't buy any... way expensive.
