Hello from Esteli!

[sanchopanza]

Hello all, I haven't been on here in a long while. I have been in Nicaragua for a few weeks now, working on a photo project about he cigar industry and the culture of the cities they are in. Anyway, just wanted to stop by and say hello!

Nice to hear from you Sancho! That must be cool to be where you are, hope you are getting to smoke some locally rolled stuff.

Very cool. Sounds like a great gig.

Does smoking a Padron Principe right off the rolling table count? :whistling:

Here are a few pics. I can't do any real editing down here on my Macbook so these are unfinished products.

Oliva Tobacco

...and a couple from my meeting/ hangout with Jose Blanco at Joya de Nicaragua

The quality control at JDN was very impressive. They check every single cigar gauge, draw and weight. if a wheel of robustos is 1 oz heavy or light, they then weigh each cigar individually to find the culprit and separate it from the herd. I haven't seen anything that extensive in any other factory...

 

[broblues]

If you would please let them know they can send me all of the heavy ones. I'll get rid of them for them. Just doing my share.

I will be glad to dispose of any seconds that they dont want :laugh:

Gdamn! your pictures did in one minute what Viagra takes a half hour to do! :sign:

Thanks Sancho, I'm gonna go show the wife what I just found.

Lol. Hopefully partly because of the images and not just the content. although the content tends to have the same affect on me...

It's all about those bunches of tobacco leaves, makes me want to take a bunch and form a tobacco hula skirt! :sign: :sign:

You want it with or without the coconut shell top? :whistling: I've done more for less.
