            <cuepoint sec="1.2" texttype="text/html">Producing Cuba’s famous hand-made cigars is a highly-skilled but monotonous job which demands concentration.</cuepoint>
            <cuepoint sec="10.1" texttype="text/html">There’s no time for chatting to workmates: quotas must be met.</cuepoint>
            <cuepoint sec="15" texttype="text/html">But instead of canned music, many cigar factories here still rely on the ancient tradition of employing a reader to help workers pass away their day.</cuepoint>
            <cuepoint sec="28" texttype="text/html">Gricel Valdés has been this factory’s official reader for the past 20 years. In the morning, she goes through the state-run newspaper &lt;i&gt;Granma&lt;/i&gt; cover to cover.</cuepoint>
            <cuepoint sec="38.7" texttype="text/html">Later come the book readings. This week, it’s Alexandre Dumas’ classic &lt;i&gt;The Count of Monte Cristo&lt;/i&gt;.</cuepoint>
            <cuepoint sec="46.3" texttype="text/html">Workers have a say in what they listen to, with material ranging from classics to modern novels like &lt;i&gt;The Da Vinci Code&lt;/i&gt;, as well as self-help books.</cuepoint>
            <cuepoint sec="56.4" texttype="text/html">“I feel useful as a person, giving everyone a bit of knowledge and culture.</cuepoint>
            <cuepoint sec="66.7" texttype="text/html">"The workers here see me as a counsellor, a cultural advisor, and someone who knows about law, psychology and love.”</cuepoint>
            <cuepoint sec="75.3" texttype="text/html">For many of these cigar rollers here, this is their first taste of literature.</cuepoint>
            <cuepoint sec="81" texttype="text/html">“It’s entertaining and instructive,” this woman told me, adding that she’d never read a book at home before working here.</cuepoint>
            <cuepoint sec="91" texttype="text/html">“You are developing while working, and concentrate more on what you are doing.</cuepoint>
            <cuepoint sec="98.3" texttype="text/html">"You can roll a cigar while listening, still meet targets and earn a living while learning about the world and Cuba.”</cuepoint>
            <cuepoint sec="109" texttype="text/html">The tradition of reading in cigar factories goes back to long before the revolution, when most workers here couldn’t read or write, ...</cuepoint>
            <cuepoint sec="116.8" texttype="text/html">... and they say that if they found a book they really like, they name a cigar after it.</cuepoint>
            <cuepoint sec="121.7" texttype="text/html">This is a Monte Cristo, and another famous brand is Romeo y Julieta, named after Shakespeare’s &lt;i&gt;Romeo and Juliet&lt;/i&gt;.</cuepoint>
            <cuepoint sec="130.5" texttype="text/html">A hundred years ago, there were factory readers in parts of the United States, Mexico and Spain, though it’s only here in Cuba that the practice still survives.</cuepoint>
