Cathy O’Shea is the president of House of Horvath, which manufactures and distributes premium cigars in Canada. The family has over 90 years of experience in the business. Staying as close to tradition as possible, Cathy describes that the tobacco is still aged and cured the way it always has been. The stripping of the stems remains the same as ever. The humidification process has not changed at all, and the cigar-making machines are themselves almost 100 years old. “We still manufacture cigars using time honored traditions from natural leaf to finished cigar. Our cigar machines date from the turn of the 20th century and have been essentially out of production for decades. As we maintain a full-time mechanic and machine shop to keep them running smoothly, our facility is capable of producing upwards of 5 million cigars per year.” Pictured is a scale used for weighing tabacco leaves; then weighing the finished product; one of the nearly 100 year old machines packing the cigars into their cellophane wrappers; the wrapped cigars ready for boxing under the company’s name brand Bandi. . . . . . . . . . . #portraitseries #cigars #cigarsdaily #reportage #cigarsandwhiskey #canada_photolovers #houseofhorvath #hofhcigars #enjoycanada #canada_epic #snapshot_canada #canadalife #literary_images #lovetoronto #torontoclx #curiocitytoronto #insideto #blogto #dailyhiveto #visualizetoronto #torontoforyou #torontoision #torontogrvm #torontoworld #6ixwalks #thankyoutoronto #raw_canada #torontopixel #imagesofcanada
