I and two colleagues of mine were very fortunate to visit The Perdomo Factory and fields last week in Nicaragua. That being said, we were also fortunate to have Nick Perdomo and Arthur Kemper as our Tour guides. Nick informed us he was shooting a video of his operations from seed to cigar while we were there.
While we were there we were amazed to see how Perdomo was raising the bar on the production and agricultural end of cigars. We were there for the filming of the video and the behind the scenes and I have to tell you, Perdomo is doing things right.
Check out this video trailer of the video on youtube. It should be great when the full version becomes available. As far as I know it will be the most extensive video of its kind on cigar manufacturing.

Check out some video of old school cigar rolling on our facebook page.

I'd love to see the finished video as well! I like watching stuff like that. I bought the CAO Commemorative Sampler mainly for the DVD "Seed to Soul". Just interesting to see how much work goes in to making these things we enjoy! As for Perdomo cigars, loved every one I've ever smoked.
