several color copies of passport placed randomly - in case you lose your passport.
ear plugs - you may room with someone that snores a lot or will try to have conversations with you until 3 AM.
barf bags - those roads are bumpy. A slightly upset stomach from some heavy drinking the night before may warrant the precaution.
front pocket wallet - need I say more. pick pocketing your front pocket is much harder than your back pocket.
cheap cigar cutters - for whatever reason, everyone had trouble finding one every night.
I wish I could be there with you bro! Next year my wife has given me blanket approval to any cigar destination. That way, I can pull the trigger before it's sold out.
Use bottle water when brushing your teeth. Never get ice, regardless of what someone says... my anti-ichthyoid friend.-I dont drink water...water is for fish
That's rough...no mention of women so what happened to the chicken? Did you...choke..it? <dying laughing emoticon here> don't have them on tappatalkBunch of pansies - the toilet paper? When I first went to Nica some twenty odd years ago there was no pavement for 120KM of the rut ridden Pan American into Esteli, we had water only 2 hrs a day, electricity was dream and I spent my first night with a chicken in my room (true)...
These Cigar Safaris is like going to the Ritz in comparison!
Sheesh... <snicker>

LMFAO...you're killing me. "Pansies" is a way to characterize some of the brothers going on this trip! :togetherlBunch of pansies - the toilet paper?

Shoe Estates lolIt really depends on how much you spend.
Basically he is a very good local boot maker and you can get a steal of a deal imo... I think his typically $100 pair is on par with a custom made pair that you would pay $300 - $400 for in the US, and in turn, if you pay $400 you can get something that is like a $2,000 pair of customs.
HOWEVER, I would NOT pay this much for your first pair. What I would recommend to those interested is get a $100 or so pair made, wear them for a while and make sure he has the fit as you desire before commit to buying a really expensive pair. Then if you are happy, you can commit to another pricier pair in the future on return trip...
Look we are not in the boot business, we make nothing off the deal, can't warranty the work, etc. etc., he is just a local guy who is noted for making good boots, so I always suggest folks go with the caveat emptor motto in mind.
Hope this helps,
