_MG_0099.jpg Hirochi Robaina was not present when I was on farm. But I talked to his father. I didn't want to put this clip in the video but maybe I should.

That is a great video. It would be nice to see Carlos Robaina on video. He's 58 now yes?

Informative and well produced video, Maks. And yes, Corojo 99--superb leaf.

I noticed that the tour guide said that the cigar glue was made from "pine." I wonder what that is. Could it just be diluted pine sap?

I took notice of that too. We had a thread a little while ago about the pine pitch adding something special to tobacco, and now this. Worth trying out.

I have a feeling her pine translation is inaccurate.

Me to. Because glue was actually tragacanth. I saw many videos of using honey around that area.
You can not buy tragacanth there. Only government has it. So, who ever is connected with government can get it for free but small amounts or they take it from cigar factories...
