OK kids. Anybody up for a trip to Honduras?

Justo Eiroa and Bernardo Rodriguez of J.R.E. Tobacco run tours of their farm & factory a couple times per year. Visitors just need to cover their own round trip transportation. Trip is four days/three nights. They can accommodate groups of 10.


If there is enough interest, I can work on details. It wouldn't be until January or February 2017, which would give everyone time to get passports, save $$ and plan for time off.

This is just a tentative inquiry to see if there are enough people interested to move forward. No commitment at this time.

    I'm interested but a lot would have to fall into place to actually make it happen

    That sounds like a lot of fun. Interested but your right a lot would have to fall into place for it to happen

    I'm not allowed to go anywhere without my wife.
    It seems I'm not capable of staying out of trouble without her.  :o
    From past experience, or just her opinion? My wife says the same, but I earned that disrespect!

    Earned it. 
    Nothing worse than 3 wives (we weren't married at the time) having to go pick up 3 brothers at the Sherrif's office.

    Or she knows I'd just stay at the factory watching the ladies roll them cigars all day long, only the ladies.

    So all other accomodations are taking care of other then transportation to and from Honduras? My dad and I might be up for that seeing that we would have 10 months or so to plan and save. Keep me in the loop about plans!

    I'd be interested but Christian IMO has f'ed up Camacho and I'm not a huge fan of cle. I've met him a few times and he's a nice guy but he's money hungry and that's why new Camacho sucks!
    Money can't buy taste
