I was able to make it back to Nicaragua again a few weeks ago. The last trip in November they were planting the fields, so I wanted to go back and see the end of the process. If you ever get a chance to go down with Jonathan Drew on his Cigar Safari, I would not hesitate. He is a great host! Well I suck at writing, so I will let the photos speak for me.
When we got off the plane Jonathan had our transportation all set up. (of course I am joking)
First stop lunch... (I had 3 steaks the first day in Nicaragua)
Next we head to Grenada for a boat ride. I liked this photo so you have to look at it.
Random shot off the boat
Next day we head to Esteli. Here is Podman enjoying a liga on the bus.
First night at Drew Estate I was snapping some random night shots. I like this one.

Don't fall asleep skipper... Remember last trip when you woke up with an acid in your mouth?
Oh shit he fell asleep!
Next day. Baby tobacco plants at Pepin's Farm
Pepin telling us about his baby tobacco.
