Written By: Alvaro – Jul• 13•11

Today we are at the cigar factory. Cuba is the most important country for cigars. The difference between a cigarette and a cigar is that cigars are brown and cigarettes are brown and white. Cigars are fatter and longer than cigarettes. cigars and cigarettes are very bad for you and can kill you.

At the cigar factory we had to follow a lady. First she showed us the leaf that they use for cigars. some people were taking part to take a vein out of the leaf. Then she showed us the school were they learn how to make cigars. Then we went up stairs and they were making cigars. They pick a man to read a newspaper at the morning for 45 minutes a day and he reads a chapter of a book every day in the afternoon.
