Was your trip a privately sponsored trip, or can it be booked through a travel agent?

weak_link · 11-08-2010, 04:16 PM

Good stuff Adam, thanks for taking the time to write it up.

Salvelinus · 11-08-2010, 04:39 PM

Thanks for sharing the details of this trip. Great read.

11-08-2010, 05:04 PM

Sounds like a fun time. Too cool to have a cigar made to your spec's.

Drew estates is sponsoring a free trip for 15 active duty people. I think you just have to get yourself there. Everything else is included. Check the Drew Estates blog for details.

The link Stick posted will give you an idea and some more info.

I'm going to call John Brooke, hopefully tomorrow, and see if he can find a date that we can put together a CA trip. The tobacco plants will go in the ground in a few weeks, so sometime next year - February, March ish will allow viewing the fields when fully planted and the plants have some decent size on them.

I would love to join a CA trip.

This is so tempting and it falls on my leave, but I think my family would disown me.

guado · 11-08-2010, 05:44 PM

I def wanna do this trip also. More details on this club...I have been there too. Did you have to fight the girls off with a stick? hahaha

T.G · 11-08-2010, 07:33 PM

You're welcome guys, this trip was just more than I ever expected or hoped for. Almost a dream, at least to me.

Yeah, I hope the cigar doesn't suck ...

I used an Indonesian Busuki capote (binder), which can be kind of touchy, so until I actually smoke one, I'll be wondering if I should have used an Ecuadorian CT instead...

The club was Cigarzone.

What happens in Esteli, stays in Esteli.

THAT is an amazing trip!

Ratters · 11-08-2010, 08:42 PM

So f-ing hate you Adam.

Gargoyle · 11-08-2010, 08:50 PM

Sounds like it was an incredible time!!! I think the MassHoles need to book a safari.

Gargoyle · 11-08-2010, 08:54 PM

The more I read about this, the more I *REALLY* want to go. Maybe I'll have better luck getting the approval from the wife if I classify it as some sort of midlife thing.

boomerd35 · 11-08-2010, 09:23 PM

I saw these trips a few months ago, and I really wanted to book one but didn't have the funds. From what I remember, they are a little pricey, but I'm sure they are worth every penny and more. I'm guessing all the current trips are filled. The last time I went to that site, I think it showed all empty slots for available trips. I don't see that now. (Unless I'm mistaken)

area51 · 11-08-2010, 09:37 PM

I emailed the link in the blog, I'll see where this goes.
