Production

Three workshops that roll by hand — Dresden, Cologne, Perlesreut

Annual Revenue

No aggregate figure: Germany is a major country for machine-made cigars — Bünde, Lübbecke — which this atlas does not carry, and for three hand-rolling workshops counting in tens of thousands of pieces a year. The tobacco is imported.

Sommelier Note

Germany was a cigar centre in the nineteenth century — Bremen, Bünde, Bavaria — and a machine industry remains. Hand-rolling was revived there by people: a Cologne woman trained in Cuba, a Cuban roller settled in Dresden, a Bavarian family that never stopped. This atlas opens here not a growing country but a rolling place, like the Bahamas.
