Who Makes What?

[TheVitaleMob]

I know that some rollers/companies will make many different brands. Can you guys enlighten me as to who makes which brands? Altadis, Fuente, Torano, etc? (Aside from the obvious ones like Opus X which is of course a Fuente product, or the Brick which is a Torano.)

I know this is going to be long, but I thought it might be nice to know as I branch out and try different things.

Thanks in advance!

I'm getting writers cramp.... Others please add more....

[bigpoppapuff]

ashton is made by fuente......owned by robbie levin/holt's...

[MMAB]

Fuente also makes Bauza. The Pyramind used to be a great cigar till they changed the wrapper a few years ago.

You also forgot to mention the "intimate" relations that Carlos Torano has with Gurkha/Hansotia and CAO.

ggiese...I am shocked at such shoddy research!

Look at Rocky Patel... That guy is making cigars for damn near EVERY one... (but they are nice...)

[bigpoppapuff]

I thought RP had his hands in the Drew Estates "Java", and United's new release "Reo"... I know there are others.. Are those Plasencia too?

[bigpoppapuff]

rocky has a section of nestor's factory....i believe nestor makes most of the drew stuff too....

the EO stuff is made in rocky's section....

i could easily be wrong,but i really don't think that drew has his own factory,nor rocky....i believe it's all overseen by nestor....
