Pepin's right hand man told me that the best roller's can do 300 a day. So to do the math:
8 hour work day = 480 minutes
480 / 300 = 1.6 minutes for each cigar.
He said they try not to make them do this many as quality can sometimes suffer though. So that leads me to believe they can roll them much faster. However that is starting with the leaves already bunched and pressed. To blend, bunch, roll, finish might take a great deal longer.
