Mozambican cigar rollers, also known as "torcedores" assemble cigars at the Bongani Cigars workshop in Maputo, on October 8, 2024. In a small neon-lit factory in Maputo, a dozen skilled workers are hand rolling premium cigars intended for the global market. The workshop is run by Anthony Padilla who grew up in the Caribbean nation in a family of tobacco producers. He is passionate about sharing his knowledge with African workers and producing locally. The large wrapper leaf is made in Cameroon while the tobacco placed inside is primarily produced in Mozambique, but for some of the models it comes from the Dominican Republic which is highly valued by cigar aficionados.
