Graycliff Cigar and Rum Experience

I am going to be in the Bahamas in a couple of weeks and have an opportunity to do an excursion called the "Graycliff Cigar and Rum Experience"; the description is:

Upon arrival at the world-renowned Graycliff Hotel and Restaurant, be escorted on a short tour of the property. The Graycliff Hotel and Restaurant is located in the heart of Nassau amid lush tropical gardens, just steps away from the bustling life of the pier. The Five Star Graycliff Restaurant is recognized as one of the top dining establishments in the world and serves delicious Continental cuisine with touches of Bahamian flavor. Graycliff's Grand Award-winning wine cellar is one of largest private collections of fine and rare wines with over 250,000 bottles from more than 400 vintners in 15 countries.

The Graycliff Cigar Company was established in Nassau in 1997, with Master Torcedore, Avelino Lara, once Fidel Castro's personal cigar roller, in charge of blending the tobacco for Graycliff's original blend. The award winning company now has 16 master rollers, each an expert at his craft. They create a selection of blends from the Graycliff Professionale to the G2, pleasing a variety of palates, with a range from the buttery to the smooth and silky to the powerful.

Learn from the masters how to sort, clean and roll a cigar. Discover the history and secrets of where the best tobacco leaves come from and what blends of select leaves make the award- winning Graycliff Cigars. Paired with the art of world class cigar making is the appreciation of some of the Caribbean's finest rums including Mount Gay, Barbacourt, Bacardi and many more. All participants will receive a cigar and cigar cutter and are able to keep the cigar they've rolled. At the conclusion of your experience, you may choose to enjoy a meal at the restaurant at an additional cost.

Does anyone have any experience with this tour? Is it worth $190?

Thanks!
