Not 100% on this but my understanding is that it basically started in the cuban factories where they would give the rollers a culebra as their daily ration of cigars to smoke. Or something similar to that. Maybe someone else can chime in with a definite.

And they're made just like any other cigar. Just bundled together while their still soft after rolling.
