CIGARHead Posted October 19, 2006 Share Posted October 19, 2006 Wow..huge difference. Kinda like working in a cubicle as opposed to that corner office with a view of the water...well not really, but much better:-P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Havanaaddict Posted October 19, 2006 Share Posted October 19, 2006 Very nice and I am happy for the people but when they have all been updated it will not be the same as that old going back in time feeling when oyu walk in the door :-( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finding the balance is important. I know many will find it hard to believe, but those working conditions at the Upmann factory are perhaps the best in Cuba for manufacturing workers.

ThreeD Posted October 20, 2006 Share Posted October 20, 2006 Nice pictures. If the Partagas Factory was better than the RyJ Factory then RyJ must of been tiny. I really enjoyed the pictures. Good work Prez Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

El Presidente Posted November 15, 2008 Author Share Posted November 15, 2008 I have a few photo's of the rolling room within the new H. Upmann factory. You will notice the better working conditions as compared to Partagas Factory. Partagas was 5 times better than the Romeo y Julieta Factory which has now closed for re-furbishment. H. Upmann Factory is certainly not perfect but it is more comfortable, much better lighting, more room, better food etc. They still have the Lector out from reading. The factory has an excellent sense of commaraderie which reflects in the cigars they are currently rolling (some of the best in Cuba). H. Upmann had a zero return rate (post Habanos s.a inspection) for the past 12 months. This is something they are very proud of. Compared to Partagas Factory Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
