If you enjoy learning something new, meeting interesting people, and discovering a side of Puerto Rico that most visitors never get to experience, this is a tour you won't want to miss.

​

Puerto Rico has a rich history of tobacco growing and cigar making, and I'm taking you somewhere special to experience that tradition firsthand.

​

We'll visit a working tobacco farm where you'll learn about the history of tobacco in Puerto Rico, see how the leaves are grown and prepared, and discover what goes into making an artisan cigar.

And here's the best part: you won't just be watching. You'll get to make one yourself!

From Tobacco Leaf to Handmade Cigar

Our visit takes us to the farm where the artisans behind El Club del Turro grow, dry, age, and prepare their own tobacco.

​

This is your opportunity to see the process up close, from the tobacco plant to the finished cigar. You'll learn about the different stages of the plant, its characteristics, and the traditional methods used to create an artisan cigar.

Then it's time to roll up your sleeves.

​

You'll meet Antonio, the master cigar roller, who will guide you through the process of creating your own cigar using locally grown tobacco leaves. He'll show you the techniques that turn those leaves into a finished product, and you'll get to experience the craft for yourself.

​

It's a fascinating process, and you'll come away with a much greater appreciation for the skill and patience that go into making a quality cigar.

​

Once you've learned the art of cigar making, it's time to enjoy another part of the experience.

​

You'll take part in a cigar tasting paired with Puerto Rican rum, with ingredients provided to cleanse your palate between tastings.

You'll also receive a bundle featuring an artisan cigar, along with a cutter and lighter, which you can take home or enjoy on-site.

​

Before we leave, you'll have time to explore the farm's cigar shop and bar.

It's a wonderful way to experience a piece of Puerto Rican culture, meet the people behind the craft, and enjoy something a little different from the usual sightseeing tour.

What makes this experience special is that you're not simply visiting a shop and buying a cigar. You're learning about the history, the people, and the process behind a traditional Puerto Rican craft.

​

I'll take care of the transportation from the San Juan area, and along the way, I'll share some of the history and stories of the island I love.

​

If you're looking for an experience that combines local culture, hands-on learning, and a taste of Puerto Rico, I'd love to take you along.
