What a cigar roller for events is
What if every guest took home a cigar rolled by hand right in front of them?
A cigar roller for events is a craftsman who sets up his workbench at your celebration and makes hand-rolled cigars live, leaf by leaf, with the same tools used in a Cuban tobacco factory.
- A craft show: guests watch a cigar take shape, from the filler to the wrapper.
- A unique keepsake: every freshly rolled cigar is handed over with its band.
- Elegance: it fits weddings, galas, company dinners and premium events.
- Conversation: the roller explains the trade, the cigar sizes and how to smoke a good cigar.
A corner that smells of tobacco and the Caribbean, and that people remember.
How the hand-rolled cigar service works
This is how the cigar roller for events works, step by step:
- He arrives before the start time and sets up his table with the tobacco and tools.
- He selects and moistens the leaves, and shapes the filler with the binder.
- He presses the cigar in the mould and dresses it with the wrapper leaf, cut by hand with the chaveta.
- He finishes the head, trims the cigar to length and adds the band.
- He hands it to the guest and explains how to cut and light it.
Guests can ask questions, take photos and even try rolling their own cigar with the craftsman's help.
Features of the live cigar roller
- Output: around 15-20 cigars an hour, depending on the size chosen.
- Tobacco: selected premium filler, binder and wrapper leaves.
- Tools on show: board, chaveta blade, cutter, vegetable glue and pressing moulds.
- Outfit: white guayabera shirt and hat, matching a Havana atmosphere.
- Custom bands: with the company logo, the couple's names or the date.
- No electricity: all it needs is a table and good light.
Customisation: bands, sizes and cases
Custom cigars for weddings and companies can include several details:
- A band with the logo, the couple's names, the date or a message.
- Size of your choice: corona, robusto, petit corona or a short format for occasional smokers.
- Case, tube or cedar box so the cigar travels well.
- Long cedar matches and cutters for the smoking area.
Custom bands need the design a few weeks in advance.

With custom cigars with a company band, every guest takes your brand home in a gift nobody throws away. And at a Havana themed event he completes the casino and the mojito bar. Ask for a quote.

Where to smoke: space and regulations
Rolling cigars is not smoking: the roller can work in an indoor hall with no problem. What the smoking law regulates is where cigars are lit.
- Smoking is not allowed in enclosed public spaces.
- The usual approach is to hand the cigar over indoors and smoke it on a terrace, garden or designated outdoor area.
- At private estates and venues, the venue sets its own rules.
- Cigars are only given to people aged 18 or over.
We help you place the roller close to the smoking area so the experience is complete.

Frequently asked questions
What does a cigar roller do at an event?
A master cigar roller sets up a table at your celebration and hand-rolls Havana-style cigars live, using the same tools as in a Cuban tobacco factory. Every guest watches their cigar being made and takes it away freshly rolled, with its band. The roller wears a white guayabera and a hat.
How many cigars can the cigar roller make per hour?
The cigar roller makes between 15 and 20 cigars per hour, depending on the vitola chosen, at about 3-4 minutes per cigar. One master cigar roller is provided per service, which is booked by the hour, and each cigar is made for one guest.
What do I need to provide to hire a cigar roller?
A table of about 150 x 80 cm with a chair, good lighting and a nearby outdoor area for smoking, since cigars are smoked outside. The cigar roller needs no electricity and arrives before the start; setup takes about 30 minutes. If the band is customised, send the design in advance.
Can the cigar roller's cigars be customised?
Yes, the cigar band can carry the company logo, the couple's names or the date. You can also choose the vitola (corona, robusto, petit corona…) and add a case, tube or cedar box. Customised bands need the design a few weeks in advance.
What events and audience is the cigar roller suitable for?
For events with an elegant touch: weddings, galas, company dinners, conventions, trade fair stands and themed parties such as Havana nights. The audience is adults aged over 18. It can be indoors or outdoors, and we bring it anywhere in Spain.
