Well, after a few months of anticipation, Alex and I are finally making way to visit the Caribe Factory in Honduras early on the 19th. This will be my first factory trip and can't wait. For those who don't know Caribe, in the Jamastran Valley near Danli, makes the renowned Camancho Corojo line, Camancho Havana, and the SLR as well as Baccarat and a few others. The weather is said to be sitting at a high of around 75 with lows near 55. I would kill for a 55 degree high here in Chicago, so this will be a nice change of pace.

I'll make some posts next wednesday with day by day jounaling about the entire experience, then a link to check out some pictures. Can't wait!! Has anyone done some factory touring out there??
