Lieberman Bunching

Construction
Definition
A semi-mechanized bunching method in which a machine gathers and shapes the filler leaves before a human roller applies the binder and wrapper by hand.
Why it matters
Lieberman bunching sits between fully hand-rolled and fully machine-made construction, trading some of the labor cost of hand-bunching for speed while keeping wrapper application, the step buyers care about most, in human hands.
In context
"A Lieberman-bunched cigar is still legally and commercially sold as hand-rolled in most markets, since the wrapper and cap are applied by hand."
