@victorcervantes.dng: In Viñales, Cuba, the process of drying and collecting tobacco leaves is a deeply rooted tradition, carried out with care and precision. After the tobacco plants are harvested by hand, the leaves are hung in large wooden drying houses called casas de tabaco, where they undergo a natural curing process for several weeks. This drying process is crucial, as it allows the leaves to develop their flavor and texture. Women in the community play a vital role in the next stage, carefully selecting and organizing the cured leaves by size, color, and quality. They skillfully tie the leaves into bundles and store them in controlled environments to ferment and age, enhancing their aroma and smoothness. Throughout the season, families work together on the farms, preparing the land, maintaining the crops, and timing the harvest precisely to ensure the highest quality leaves. This labor-intensive process reflects a blend of tradition, craftsmanship, and community effort, all aimed at producing some of the finest cigars in the world. • • • #DocumentaryPhotography #StreetPhotography #TravelDocumentary #VisualStorytelling #HumanStories #PhotographyReels #OnAssignment #PhotoDocumentary #ReportagePhotography #EverydayCuba #Fujifilm #FujifilmXSeries #FujifilmXT4 #ShotOnFujifilm #MyFujifilm #FujiLove #FujifilmStreet #FujifilmGlobal #FujiColors #fujifilmphotowalk #Viñales #ViñalesCuba #CubaPhotography #CubaDocumentary #CubaReels #DiscoverCuba #cubatravel
