We stopped in when we were here on a cruise a few years ago based upon good reviews from other visitors. It is within walking distance from the ship but keep your eyes open or you will walk past it. It is located in the upstairs portion of a building. The ladies are very nice but some are better with... More

The ladies making the cigars were very friendly and were happy to answer any questions, there is no charge. There is a counter where you can buy the cigars, but even though there is no charge to go in and watch how they are made you don't feel under any pressure to buy anything. More

This was great to show our kids how cigars are rolled and where different parts of the cigar come from on a map. The art work here is also nice. This store is upstairs in the Pellican Craft Center. More

My husband and I stopped in because we happened to be n Bridgetown. There was no one else there and it was a bit awkward. I think it would have been more enjoyable if we were with a tour group. More

Worth a brief stop if you are in the vicinity and are a cigar lover. The very friendly staff walks you through the process of making a cigar, station to station. Don't forget to take a few back with you! More

Based on other members' reviews, we decided to visit the factory last week during our cruise. We were not disappointed! The ladies were very gracious letting us photograph them and showing us their role in the production of the cigars. My husband had researched them too, and purchased several boxes of their Royal Barbados #1 cigars for a terrific price! More

We arrived just in time to experience a cigar being made. We loved it so much that we purchased 5 to take home with us. More

We came across this place on trip advisor and seeing as we were in Barbados for the day on a cruise, we thought we might pop in as it was only 5 minutes away from the port. The workers — all women — sit peacefully at wooden tables, each one absorbed in a different stage of the process. No automation... More

What a wonderful place! We found the factory by chance, on a trip several years ago. After smoking all the cigars in the box and sending for more, we have returned since then to visit. They actually remembered us and knew what cigars i ordered. The cigars from this company are works of art. well worth the visit. More
