Havana Rollers

If you know some Spanish, it turns out that the sentence "The cat adores fish" can be parsed in two ways. I learnt today that catador means 'cigar factory' and also, according to this Wikipedia entry, a person that
"... sits in the front of the torcedores (cigar rollers) and reads from a daily newspaper or a book so that they do not get bored by the monotonous work."
Things like this and the Buena Vista Social Club make Cuba sound rather fun. The warm weather probably helps.
