Puro Sabor 2024 Final Day - Cigar Snob

💨 We started the day with a visit to Oliva Escuela Elemental, the school that was founded by Oliva Cigar’s owner Fred Vandermarliere. As consumers, we only look at cigar companies as the ones who make these wonderful cigars but in Estelí and other communities like it, they represent so much more.

We walked over to Oliva Cigar’s main factory, where we received an assortment of 10 cigars to enjoy during the tour of this impressive operation that underwent a massive overhaul and remodel without ever stopping production.

The multi-faceted tour continued at the company’s tobacco processing facility called Las Mesitas. We concluded with snacks, refreshments, more cigars, Oliva accessories, and a killer leather backpack.

After the whirlwind morning, it was time for lunch. This time it was held at Rocky Patel’s farm and the site of the company’s future factory, expected to open in 2027. After lunch, we enjoyed the Rocky Patel DBS, Cigar Snob’s #13 cigar of 2023 while Rocky took the stage to welcome all.

The festival’s climactic party, the gala, was held back at Las Mesitas. To kick off, we received a sampler of 5 top-shelf cigars and after dinner the band got everyone up and dancing while a group of entertainers picked up anyone who dared to stay seated.

The party culminated with fireworks. A fitting end to an amazing week visiting some of the best tobacco and cigar facilities on the planet in a country where the natural beauty is matched only by its warm and welcoming people.

Thank you, Nicaragua!
