Chris, thanks for taking the time to write this up for the rest of us. Great stuff. I want to try your 3x Ligero! Let us BOTL know if you order enough to sell fivers or something.

Saved so I can explain pictures........ *It will be coming*

Guess this is where Rocky makes his "maduros", eh?

:rofl:

Do they have to dye the leaves 3 times to make a Triple maduro?

This is SO cool! I just love all these pictures bro. Man, that sounds like such an amazing trip. I really really really really want to do one of these someday!

lol, probably. But most maduros in the cigar industry these days are dyed, even last year's #1 stick the Padron 80th.

*Note on the Ligeros. It is actually water that they soak the steams in which gives it a better taste. Also this is Nestors factory who services and supplies a lot of cigar companies tobacco or cigars.*

also you can tell that its not a dye because of the tablecloth below it.

That was AWESOME. Thanks for sharing. I am in the process of organizing something similar. I was thinking the AF factory in the DR, but I can't find any info on tours. How did you get the info on the RP tour. I'm thinking that a group of BOTL's would be interested in this. This is definately something I want to do!!! Thanks again!!

From what I've heard the AF factory is next to impossible to get in. Rocky Patel does about 40 tours a year. As for others I'm not sure about other companies/factories. I jumped on with a cigar shop out of NY that I buy from sometimes.

Unless ye get in on the Cigar Family trip to the factory.

Sounds like a really cool trip! I'd love to go down and visit a factory, just once!

Great pics. It looks like an awesome trip. Glad you had a good time.

 

[BMTA]

Sounds great been a few years since I've done some trips to cigar country!

 

[3rdworldchild]

The pics are great. I think everyone should try to do this at least once in their lives.

I'm hoping some other people will be sharing their pics in a few days so I can add some more. Without a doubt the absolute best trip I've ever taken!

It looks like truly a great time. Very cool to see the inner-workings in person!

Thanks for the photos!

I was fortunate to go to Honduras on a Rocky Patel cigar trip earlier this month. Nimish is a great host and the education about tobacco and cigars is like going to graduate school. It just doesn't get better that this.
