Taking a cigar safari

[SQNnOpusX]

So a spot opened up, and I decided to do it. I am Going on the Feb 20-23 trip and I can't wait.
Anyone else here taking the trip? Is there anything I need to bring, or any recommendations you guys have?
Thanks in advance, now I need to book my flight.

Not going, but bring a caddy for around 30 cigars. prepare to smoke a bunch of great cigars and have some great times with JD and the whole DE group. I have yet to go on one, but I can't wait until I can go! Also, there is an awesome guy near the factory who hand-makes some shoes/boots. They run around $100 cash, so it's always nice to bring some excess $$$ and support the community. Lastly, bring a camera!

Here's some reading material a quick search turned up. Hope to go on one of these myself some day but wife/kids/life are priorities right now

Someday I may join you... If not I may go on my own and visit some other tourist hotspots as well. I have a friend over there.

I hear the strip clubs are nice!

You're going to love it - one of the best trips I ever took. I'd bring $50 spending money - you need $10 to get into Nica and you might want to buy some trinkets here or there, a herfador (I came home with about 40 cigars probably give or take), and maybe some solid t-shirts or hats or something (Jessi from Subculture Studios will put some awesome DE designs on any stuff you bring).

If you want, PM me - I wrote a very long blog about my trip that I can give you if you're interested.

I spent more money in the airports eating than I did the several days in Nicaragua. There is a duty free liquor store in the Managua airport if you want to pick up a bottle or two once you get in to Nica.

thank you to everyone for the information and the help. my curiosity about these boots has been peaked.

Just to add, you will need around $20 to tip the guys at DE that transport/translate/tour guide as well

I can't wait to be able to do this. Already told my wife not to be suprised when I tell her I am going. Probably not until next year though.
