This is a subject I know next to nothing about. I am aware they are made. I just don't know very much about them. Does a specific shop(s) contract out to have them made? Are They widely available there? Is there a price premium over the regular lines? I know from time to time Cuba will send a roller around to different shops to do demonstration rolls. I was under the impression that being at one of these events was the only way you could get a custom rolled. I have no idea why I have this impression as I have never been told such. It was my understanding that when the Davidoff/Dunhill contract ended Habanos (Cubatabaco) no longer did contract work for any other company or shop. Any information on this subject would be appreciated.

Usual back-street sources! I wonder if they'll be a roller around in April, I will ask around via Jimmy at H&F and see if we can get one on the 26th (but obviously very doubtful)Comment

What's the chances of us all clubbing resources and getting an annual batch of custom rolled UKCF sticks? Or is that just pie in the sky thinking?Licky Licky before Sticky Sticky. - Puff Scotty 22/03/14

Sounds a great idea to me! Wonder what the minimum order would be, I guess the main problem would be getting a general consensus/agreement from everyone on a vitola and blend?Comment

They are a plenty in LCDH in Cuba. You get the odd visiting one outside. But since you are in the USA I would get in contact with Johnny-o there is some doubt around them but the ones I have had are lovelyComment

Yeah for sure wouldn't be simple, it could however give a potential option of having a Vitola rolled that the big companies are turning away from such as the Panetela Larga we were discussing recently..... Well really options are limitless.Originally posted by Tomothebuilder View Post
How realistic this is I have no idea, but I for one would be happy to buy such a thing and for any potential profits to go back into the running of this great site.Licky Licky before Sticky Sticky. - Puff Scotty 22/03/14
