‘He’s like a brother to me’: Kedah MB’s aide says he hugged it out with trader after viral altercation claimsMozambican cigar rollers, also known as ‘torcedores’ assemble cigars at the Bongani Cigars workshop in Maputo, on October 8, 2024. — AFP picMAPUTO , Oct 23 — In a small neon-lit factory in Maputo, a dozen workers are hand-rolling premium cigars intended for the global market, seemingly undisturbed by the pungent tobacco smell.

“Not many people know about African cigars” and that some are produced in Mozambique, said Eugenia Mauaie, with a proud smile. The 38-year-old has been working at Bongani Cigars since the company was founded eight years ago. “Each leaf has a function: its burning quality, its strength and its smell,” said the 38-year-old, sporting a shaved head and trimmed goatee.

An African cigar, “surprises consumers” he said, and “makes people curious” about the brand, which translates to “be grateful” in Zulu. “Often, raw materials are produced in Africa and shipped elsewhere to be repackaged and rebranded,” said Moukheiber, like coffee or chocolate, depriving the continent of much needed resources.

About a third of the cigars are shipped across Africa, with Mozambique and South Africa its largest markets, but they are also available online.
