How it’s Made: Cigar Edition - Excellent experience from start to finish. Highly recommend this to any cigar enthusiasts out there! Enjoyed learning the intricacies of the cigar process before getting to roll one myself!

Top Tier, Top Shelve Experience for the Family!!! - “The Art of the Cigar” hand rolling with Endy Diaz, was an absolute amazing experience!! Under Endy’s expertise, my family of six learned how to hand roll cigars! The entire cigar hand rolling experience was an exceptional demonstration of the art, history, family legacy, traditional craftsmanship of growing tobacco and making cigars!!. In each step, Endy taught us art of hand rolling, and the importance of making each step deliberate, reinforcing the skill and patience required of professional torcedores! Most importantly, this experience deepened our appreciation for traditional cigar craftsmanship, the beautiful history of cigar making with informative videos, and, of course, great music! Overall, this cigar rolling experience successfully combined technical learning with sensory evaluation. It was both informative and enjoyable, and it provided valuable insight into the art and science behind a well-made cigar. Highly recommended for anyone interested in tobacco culture, craftsmanship, and learning about cigars. Endy is a Navy Vet, and I will be bringing my Marine brothers by to experience “The Art of the Cigar!” 5/5, 10/10. Perfect score of 100%

For Nature Lovers: Consider Cigar Making - A very unique way to spend an hour on our recent visit to spend the Fourth of July with family living in San Diego! Learned a lot about tobacco processing for cigar production and took a chance at rolling and cutting our own! Great vibe, taught from inside the humidor as well as from the cigar lounge rolling desk. The compelling production process (all organic, no chemicals) and the entrepreneurial brand development had us all riveted and wanting to know more and more. Bought some cigars to share before the fireworks at the Rady..!! Good people; nice time. LIKE!!

Bachelor Weekend in SD - I can't recommend the experience of hand-rolling our own cigars highly enough! The boys and I are big fans of a good cigar lounge, and "The Art of The Cigar" exceeded our expectations. The cigar selection was top-notch, and Endy was amazing—super knowledgeable and thorough in sharing the history and science of cigars and the industry. What really stood out was the personalized touch—each of us received private instructions, making the process both easy and incredibly enjoyable. Our group of seven had an absolute blast. This experience is a solid 10/10! I’d recommend it for any occasion, but it’s especially perfect for a bachelor party or a guys' getaway.

No Call, No Show - I booked this experience for my husbands birthday and we were so excited. We got to the meeting spot early and waited out front with coffee. I messaged the event coordinator that we arrived and then later to let him know we would be leaving in 30 minutes. He did not respond. This experience seems cool but would have been lovely if we actually got to do it.

NOT as advertised! - I was given this tour for Christmas, and based on the write-up, was really looking forward to enjoying 90 minutes with a friend, learning more about the art of hand rolling. I scheduled our session for January 12th, and we showed up at the allotted time. First concern was that no one there knew anything about it. But I showed them the Viator receipt, and one of the guys got setup for us to learn about cigar rolling. He laid out a leaf, had each of us roll a (small) cigar, put them into a bag, then ushered us to the humidor to pick out cigars to purchase. This all took less than 5 minutes. This was NOTHING like what the write-up was. No beverages, no discussions - it just seemed like an excuse to get us in the door to purchase cigars. Very disappointing.
