I\u00a0 have known Maritza now for 15 years and have met her frequently in Havana at the H.Upmann factory where she leads the 60 best Category 9 rollers of that factory.<\/p>\n

In fact she gave us in the Portmann group a class in rolling cigars at that factory back in 2007 …<\/a><\/p>\n

I have met her again a few times in Germany on tour but I thought that by now she was retired as she is in her early 70s …<\/p>\n

So it was a great pleasure to learn that she is once again on a rolling tour in Germany and she would stop at LCDH Kaiserslautern – just a 25 min. drive from me.<\/p>\n

I drove there and spent a few hours talking with her and watching her perfectly roll a beautiful cigar.<\/p>\n

Here is the video :\u00a0https:\/\/youtu.be\/emlEuiOBfr8<\/a><\/p>\n

I remember that back in 2007 we calculated that she had rolled about 2.5 million cigars during her career – she told me it was close or over the 3 million mark by now. Amazing.<\/p>\n

Happy to see her still going strong and doing what she loves.<\/p>\n
