Itinerary
- 1Enrich your understanding of Costa Rica with a cigar and rum cultural immersion. Learn about the cigar and rum making process, their history, and finish off with your own hand-rolled cigar and personalized infused rum bottle (sold separately). Visit the only premium quality and luxury cigar producer in the region, where every cigar is made by hand. Next we continue the journey to the sugar cane fields and rum distillery, both family and locally owned. Discover a variety of tobaccos from Costa Rica, Nicaragua, Dominican Republic, and Cuba. Get a taste of their three different leagues: light, medium, and full-bodied cigars. Explore the hacienda, get to know how rum arrived and how it’s cultivated, its distillation process, and the steps to creating and aging of rum.

We were anxious initially as we had never visited Costa Rica before and are from North Dakota. We met at a nearby store and confirmed our guides were the correct people based on their license plate. Our guides were Ian and Patsy. They were extremely friendly and welcoming and instantly put us at ease. They were very personable, told many funny jokes, and were EXTREMELY knowledgeable on everything from the cigar making process, the rum making process, the history of Costa Rica, and even the wildlife. Anything you wanted to know, they knew it in great detail. You can tell they genuinely like people and love where they live. We started this tour expecting a generic cut and dry "lets rush them around and get the next people in" type situation, but we visited for hours over cigars and rum, and even had lunch together. After everything was said and done, we left the experience feeling as though not only that we learned a lot but that we genuinely made friends. Also... just buy the rum bottle before you get there. Because you're going to buy it anyway, haha!

Thank you Bryan for your thorough review. It was an absolute pleasure to have you and Sky on the tour. We take great pride in sharing our traditions, culture, and sense of humor. We hope that whenever you light up a cigar or take a sip of our locally produce rum that you think of us. Until we meet again... pura vida!

What a great experience - we met our host Ian at the cigar workshop and he helped translate as we learned more about the sourcing and preparation of the tobacco, the filler layers and process of rolling cigars and finally the finishing tobacco wrap. We got to enjoy a cigar while we rolled one ourselves, which we got to take home. We also bought a collection of hand-rolled cigars made by Delys, who is one of the workshop owners.
Next we drove with Ian to a sugar cane farm where we first had a great lunch in a beautiful old manor house. We then got a tour and learned about the growing and harvesting process and tasted the sugar in various forms as it's processed. Finally, we tasted several infusions of rum that they distill on site and ended up purchasing a few bottles to take home.
I can't say enough positives about the tour or our host Ian and CR Limo Company. The tour was easy to arrange and communication was excellent. Ian is a fun host, native of Costa Rica and very knowledgable - and fun to talk with. Highly recommend this tour and company.
