WITH A STROKE OF CHAVETA takes viewers into the legendary cigar factories of Cuba to witness the survival of the collective reading of literature while “tabaqueros” roll cigars. We learn how through "la lectura de tabaquería" cigar workers have been entertained, educated, and maintained a sense of class solidarity. Current day cigarmakers tell us they can’t imagine a workplace without their beloved “lectores.
