It was a really nice experience. When we arrived, we were immediately offered something to drink. Afterwards, we were able to see how the tobacco leaves are dried. The highlight was that we were allowed to roll our own cigar and could also try one. In the end, we were also able to buy cigars at very fair prices. Highly recommended, even for non-smokers.
Driver was excellent and did a great job. Wonderful experience. Would definitely recommend..........
A wonderful specialty cigar maker. The tour showed us around, explained the makings of a cigar and allowed my son and I to roll our own as a souvenir! These guys know their stuff! Great people and facility, highly recommend.
This amazing place offered a lot of knowledge and time flew by. I helped roll a cigar and had a great conversation with the general manager. I’ll order my cigars from here from now on.
It's a wonderful experience. The owner and his employees were very helpful and nice. It was a very relaxing time.
Byron thank you for a wonderful tour and explaining the process. I highly recommend it. They also make a great stick.

Thanks for the visit and great review!
If you take a taxi to the store, the visit is free. The ride provided meant we had to walk about 3/4 of a mile to get to the driver. Taxis are closer.
Thanks or the tip and review!
