We have our tickets booked for next month. Anyone else done this before? Anything specific that I should definitely bring (or not bother bringing)?

I'll bring you all back something. Maybe.

Tour the dye room I hear it's cutting edge tech.

I think Thunder Gerbil did one of these a few years back. Drew Estates, Padron... forget what one exactly but he can probably give you an idea as to what to expect.

Try a Royale if you can and see if it's anywhere near it's 94 rating.

^I have already smoked through a box of the Royales and plan to buy another. I don't know about 94, but it was good.

Oh definitely going. Don't remember you owing me anything though, pretty sure I've smoked some of your cigars there!

That WAS pretty funny.

I make do ridicule RP sometimes...the smokes and the man. However, Rocky, along with a local tobacconist, fully sponsored a trip for a bunch of brothers (and a couple sisters) from local American Legion a couple years ago. Six months later, they were all still talking about the trip. Tremendous trip, apparently. Props to RP for supporting those vets and giving them a once in a lifetime experience.

Sounds like fun. The royale's are good, don't know about 94 points. The Gryph rating scale is never again, mesh, hey not so bad, pretty good, really liked it. The royale was a really liked it.

Yup, Esteli Nicaragua; DE, Padron, My Father & JdN. I have heard that the RP tours are like a big party and a ton of fun, but I really have no idea what the specifics are. Generally speaking, you'll get to see how factories work, hopefully more than one since they don't all operate in the same manner, probably see the process from farm/field all the way through to packaging and maybe even get to blend your own cigars. Maybe they will show you a bit of the surrounding area and culture, I don't know. You're also going to smoke a lot. And by a lot, I mean "A LOT" - by the end of three days in Nicaragua, I probably could have crushed out burning cigars on my tongue and not even noticed.

Have fun!
