We really enjoyed this tour. could not hear the tour guide but enjoyed watching the workers and massive amount of cigars that are produced. walking into the massive humidor was amazing. I did not expect it to be so massive. It actually took your breath away when you walked in there due to the humidity. More

Had a private tour trough factory, we have seen a complex process. I am a cigar smoker and this was just great for me. Even if you are not to much familiar with cigars, you can still visit this place, you will see what can not be seen anywhere else. Great! More
