How/Who put the cigars in cellophane?

I've seen biscuits and sweets being packaged in pretty much the same way but with non-clear, printed stuff and sealed at both ends obviously.

I'd have preffered to have worked with the virgins....

I watched the CAO Seed to Soul DVD dvd a while back, and I believe this is done by hand as well. At least for them. If I remember correctly, before boxing someone has the task of putting them into the cellos, folding, then sending them off for boxing.
