Smoking with moderation is a habit of ours, not a frequent one, though. But this tropical climate is perfect for tobacco cultivation . That means, there are some internationally known cigars made here in Mexico as well. In San Andrés de Tuxtla we found an open cigar factory . We were allowed to wonder around and take pictures.


They are mentioned in the Book of Guinness World Records, they make the longest commercially available cigar . We thought about smoking one that was smaller, but they don’t sell smaller cigars by piece, and the larger ones cost some 6-7 bucks. Out of our reach, 6-7 bucks cover a lunch for both of us. No cigars today.
