It was amazing to see first hand the processes involved as well as the hard work that goes into the art of making cigars. We stayed in town at Hotel Los Arcos and visited 5 different tobacco fields as well as the processing, box making and rolling factories. Here are some pictures from our trip(best viewed via desktop computer).<br \/>\n\n\t\t<style type=\"text\/css\">\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 {\n\t\t\t\tmargin: auto;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 .gallery-item
