I just attended a Rocky Patel smoking event at the Red Cloud in Fullerton, CA. Rocky talked about an exclusive trip they offer to their factories in Honduras. They give you a first hand look into the art of cigar making, from seed to cigar you get to experience everything. You even get to mix your own blends and roll your own cigars.

It's a 4-day trip, you pay for airfare and they take care of everything else, food, lodging at a villa on the plantation, and of course cigars. One of the guys mentioned you might smoke 18 cigars a day - whew!

It sounds like an awesome opportunity, has anyone done this or heard first hand about anyones experience on this trip?

Rocky said they had more than 900 visitors last year and are planning 1200 this year. 20 at a time and they're booked through next March 07.

This trip I've heard about is also through the local cigar shop, The Red Cloud in Fullerton, CA. I can't find any other information on the trip.

I'm on the waiting list and I'm planning to book the flight as soon as the dates come to the shop.
