Going to Nicaragua!!!

issues · 04-01-2010, 08:27 PM

Today I won a trip from Tampa Humidor to go to Nicaragua all expenses paid! We will be touring the My Father factory and meeting Don Pepin Garcia!!!

This is going to be a blast! I leave the 14th and return on the 17th. It will be my first trip out of the US (other than a trip to the Bahamas but I didn't even need a passport for that one).

I'm extremely excited and had to share it with my BOTL/SOTLs here on Cigar Asylum. I will take a bunch of pictures and write up a nice long review of the trip.

I had better start brushing up on my Spanish.

Spent a week traveling through Nicaragua earlier this year....incredible place! The sights are great and the towns are easy to get around in, not to mention friendly locals.

If you get a chance, go to the Drew Estates Factory. I have heard that it is something special!

I promise I will!

I just can't believe I get to meet the man in person in his factory! Around 80% of my humidor is stocked with his work. 601 blue and green, Petite Tatuajes, Black Labels and SW Maduros, JJ series, El Rey de los Habanos, Ambos Mundos, San Cristobals, My Fathers and Blue Labels.

I am a HUGE fan!

That is incredible...they couldn't have picked a better winner. I love to see when someone who will truly appreciate a freebie wins.

Again...CONGRATS!!
