Here is what past participants have said:


“One word... UNREAL!

Thanks again for everything.”

“I cannot begin to express just how wonderful this trip was. I have a new and profound appreciation for the dedication evidenced by all of the manufacturers we met. Every step of the process from seed to shipping cannot be fully realized until one sees it personally.

I still say we should give this group first dibs on all future trips. Without exception, everyone I met on this trip was an awesome individual. I hope we can all stay in touch going forward!”

  1. -Doug Thompson


“I am still realizing, on a daily basis how much I learned on this trip. One of the most lasting impressions from this trip is that being able to purchase a quality, premium cigar for less than $10 is a bargain. This may not be obvious at first but when you experience that amount of detail, process work and number of people that are actually required to fully create a cigar and deliver it to the store shelf, it was amazing that it can happen at such reasonable prices.
Cigar manufacturers and tobacco farmers experience tremendous risk on a daily basis as they work to innovate, maintain and create the best cigars available in history.”
