Was your trip a privately sponsored trip, or can it be booked through a travel agent?

Drew estates is sponsoring a free trip for 15 active duty people. I think you just have to get yourself there. Everything else is included. Check the Drew Estates blog for details.

That sounds great!

I would love a list of the cigars you smoked, and your quick thoughts on them, if you remember (and have time!)

Thanks for posting! :)

The link Stick posted will give you an idea and some more info.

I'm going to call John Brooke, hopefully tomorrow, and see if he can find a date that we can put together a CA trip. The tobacco plants will go in the ground in a few weeks, so sometime next year - February, March ish will allow viewing the fields when fully planted and the plants have some decent size on them.

You're welcome guys, this trip was just more than I ever expected or hoped for. Almost a dream, at least to me.





Yeah, I hope the cigar doesn't suck ...

I used an Indonesian Busuki capote (binder), which can be kind of touchy, so until I actually smoke one, I'll be wondering if I should have used an Ecuadorian CT instead...



The club was Cigarzone.

What happens in Esteli, stays in Esteli.
