Today we traveled by from Grenada to Esteli. It took a few hours by bus and our first stop was the Victor Sinclair farm in San Isidro for lunch that was held in their curing barns. The bus ride was long (especially after last night’s party). Lunch was amazing- the roasted pork cannot be beat...

Damn straight! You know that link worked back in the day. Can’t believe you threw shade at internet grandpa for not keeping his links up and running. The guy is old, gotta give him some slack. It’s alright though.

This thread was started in ‘04 so that link is probably not good anymore.

Tonight’s dinner was the last night in Grenada and tomorrow we go to Esteli for the farm & factory aspect of things. Dinner was great. The entertainment was great. The ambience was great. There was a barrel of 25yr Flor de Cana to boot. The event was held in a Monestary from the 1500s. Day...

A bit sweaty but otherwise totes amazing.

Huh?

Mombacho Volcano without the clouds.

This year has been run extremely well. Tons of communication leading up to the event and throughout the event. It is a total turnkey operation. They tell you where to be and when. When you get there, you get cigars and a timeline of what we are doing and for how long. They arrange all hotels and...

When you first arrive, you get a special box of cigars that have cigars from all the attending manufacturers and then at each event you get another 2-3 cigars. It sounds like on the factory tours that begin tomorrow that you get a box or at least a larger amount of cigars from the individual...

As I mentioned earlier todays activity is a boat ride around Lake Nicaragua and then we spend half the day in an island being fed a steady diet of food, drinks, music (there are two levels of music here: loud and louder) and cigars. There are hundreds of islands in Lake Nicaragua and many have...

You passed this one up and chose to stay in frozen Norte America.

Today is day 2 of the festival and it is a cultural day in Grenada. Grenada is a colonial city with tons of colorful buildings and a ton of old, like dating back to the 1500’s, churches. Today’s main activity is a boat tour of Lake Nicaragua. This fresh water lake is so large that it has an...

The world needs to see these American nipples. Viva La Nipples de America!

This is the contents of the welcome package.

Just arrived at Hotel Dario in Granada and officially checked it to Puro Sabor. I’m met with a box of cigars, a leather man purse will with a bunch of stuff, and a guayabera shirt. The reception includes tacos and rum. Welcome pack. Yo quiero rum y cola , por favor. The lobby of the Hotel...

On the smoking bus to Grenada!

The hotel is the Best Western Las Mercedes. It’s across the street from the airport- like walking distance from the airport. The grounds are well kept. 2 pools, one geared towards kids the other for everyone. You can smoke at the outdoor tables. The rooms are spartan but clean and conducive to...

The end of my first day in Nicaragua is here. Woke up @ 3am for a 6am flight to Managua with a short layover in Houston. As I said earlier, I meet up with a cigar group from Fresno CA and was adopted into their tribe. I smoked a bunch of cigars with them and drank a ton of Tona beer and ended...

I just got to Nicaragua and am checked into my hotel. Puro Sabor ( https://purosaborcigarfest.com/ ) begins tomorrow and I’m planning on doing my best to capture it for y’all in the hopes that some of you decide to go. I’ve already made new friends here. I ended up getting “adopted “ by a group...
