A tobacco leaf being laid onto another suction plate as a binder. The arm that picks up the leaf cut-out can be seen in this picture right above the previous cut of tobacco on the other half of the circular plate across from the one being laid by one of our wrapper layers.

The large tobacco container to the right in the picture holds a supply of the filler tobacco blend which is wrapped by the binder and then wrapped again by the wrapper to make the cigars.
