A box of good quality Habanos Cuban cigars can cost thousands of dollars.
Every hand-rolled Cuban cigar goes through about 500 manual tasks from seed to cigar.
For more than 200 years, the culture of cigar making in Cuba hasn't changed.
The process takes about a year.
The tobacco leaves are grown, harvested, and hung in drying houses called secaderos before a slow fermentation occurs.
Each leaf is inspected for its type, appearance, and quality and handed to a torcedor, a highly skilled cigar roller, greatly respected in Cuban society.
According to Business Insider some experts suggest that up to 95% of all Cuban cigars in the US are actually fake.
