Pictures from the Caribbean Cigar Company

While in Barbados on our honeymoon, my wife and I took the opportunity to visit the Caribbean Cigar Company, makers of Royal Barbados and Sam Lord cigars. We were told the Royal Barbados cigars are Cuban puros, and the Sam Lords are Cuban filler, Cameroon binder, and an Ecuadorian maduro wrapper. I picked up a fiver of the Sam Lords and, while I didn't pick up anything distinctly Cuban, it had a very unique and delicious taste (in all fairness, the ones I bought were palmas, so the narrow RG would result in very little Cuban filler).

The factory tour wasn't really a tour--my wife and I were free to wander around the factory floor at will, talking to the rollers and taking pictures as we went. It was really an interesting experience--now, the pictures!

Two angles of the small factory:

The packaging:

One of the rollers showing one of the molds. She used that black device on the right to help roll the cigar:
