Small but growing cigar factory in Esteli Nicaragua.

Post by migrant »

I was in the US and decided to go down to Nicaragua to visit a cigar factory I'm involved in. It was a whirlwind visit and didn't do any sightseeing except for cigar related business but I thought there might be interest in seeing how the cigars are made.

This is a small, but growing, factory producing premium hand rolled cigars. They have won some prestigious awards.

Esteli is the capital of the cigar world in Nicaragua and, therefore, one of the premiere in the world.

No professional actors were used in this clip (obviously).

Thanks for the video – very interesting.

Wish there was a factory like that here in Thailand.

Unfortunately, the import rules here make smoking quality cigars a luxury reserved for the wealthy.

I lost interest when I discovered they were not rolled on the thighs of virgins.
This is the way

They would have been but finding virgins in Nicaragua is next to impossible.

DM always degrades posts, but I'm sure is looking for more info regarding flights to Nicaragua!
