You step off the air-conditioned shuttle into a low-slung warehouse where tobacco leaves hang like quiet flags and the scent of rum drifts from a small bar. Light filters through screened windows; artisans at work shape cigars with deliberate, fingertip precision. The space feels practical and lived-in—part workshop, part tasting room—where craft meets Caribbean hospitality.
