Vermont businesswoman runs "in-home" cigar factory
WCAX TV 3 News
Burlington, Vermont - A well-appointed Burlington dining room may be the last place, and Lizzie Keating the last person you'd expect to see cigar-rolling. Keating chuckles, "The Irish, private-school thing usually throws them off!"
But this business owner does roll cigars, by the dozen, through her 4-year-old company, Vermont Cigar Factory. She beams, "I just love the process! It's nice to know it's probably the freshest cigar in the state!"
She learned this craft from a Cuban master cigar roller now living in Key West, Fla. Keating recalls, "He told me to basically not be too confident because it's always a learning process."
