Puro Sabor 2025

The pictures and updates are awesome Jon!! I am a little hurt you went to a different country to a cigar fest, but passed on the Denver one with buddies for the last 3 years

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

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 homes in them!

I met Skip Martin on the boat ride over.

I tried to get some decent pictures of Mombacho Volcano.

So about the cigars that you are smoking, are there just boxes laying around and you just grab one when you feel like it? Do they give you “tickets” that you redeem when you want a stick? How does all that work?

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 factories too. We were told that we’ll leave with roughly 150-200 cigars.
Since I brought cigars from home, I’ve been able to not touch any of the cigars that have been handed out at the events.

Thank you so much for these trip reports. Puro Sabor has been on the bucket list for years.

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 transfers and ensure that everyone is accounted for. Food, drinks, water and cigars are all included. Think of it as an all-inclusive experience. I highly recommend it.
Tickets go on sale in September but don’t sleep on it as I’m sure demand will out outpace availability.

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 picture vs night picture for reference.


And a bonus picture for @TexasTraveler to let him know what I took for him to install in his mancave’s bathroom.
