[QUOTE="Ryepipe, post: 348187, member: 3374"] Some years back I read a peer reviewed journal article about the acquisition of fine motor control. Interestingly, cigar rollers were used as one example. Long story short the authors stated it took five years +/- of 40 hour weeks to achieve base line skills to cobble up a well constructed cigar. I would assume that is 5 years of supervised learning on the job not just being present for 5 years. GL Pease stated that nearly all smoking tobaccos are treated and or cured in some manner. Pipe tobaccos are usually machine cut. Cigar rolling involves far more than the simple layering of fillers and wrappers in other than a machine rolled cigar. Market price is determined by a constellation of factors. The easiest to itemize is cost of materials. Cobs are crucibles for tobacco burning just as high cost pipe furniture is. Function determines form. After that only you decide what value you are willing to pay for. Shopping is an acquired skill as well... [/QUOTE]
