Rolling in The Bahamas – The Graycliff Cigar Company Factory Tour
Get ready to roll, a tour of the Graycliff Cigar factory is a must when in the Bahamas! Open to the public by appointment, with no charge for admission, The Graycliff Cigar Company in Nassau welcomes visitors to take their factory tour and experience the age-old art and tradition of hand cigar rolling.
One of the most fascinating destinations in Old Nassau, Graycliff Cigar Company is located on the grounds of the historic Graycliff resort, an elegantly renovated 260 year old British Colonial style grand estate built in the 1700s by notorious pirate John Howard Graysmith. Your tour begins with a stroll through the Graycliff property, where you'll get a tantalizing glimpse of Graycliff's exquisite gardens & graceful rooms full of antiques & art treasures. Entering the cigar factory, you are transported into a world where the traditions of old Cuba live on. Under the direction of Graycliff's master torcedore, the legendary Avelino Lara (www.avelinolara.com), an orchestra of Cuban craftsmen roll and press tobacco with fluid grace and precision, creating Graycliff's award winning cigars. As you watch the artisans at work, you'll learn about the colorful history and secrets of cigar making, and may even be invited to join the master roller at his bench to follow along as he demonstrates his art. After the tour, visitors are invited to relax in Graycliff's comfortable smoking lounge. With glass windows that look in on the cigar factory, the wood paneled room is an ideal place to linger over a beverage or perhaps smoke a freshly rolled masterpiece while watching the amazing process of cigars being hand-crafted.
Graycliff owner Enrico Garzaroli designed the Graycliff cigar factory to be the centerpiece of his legendary resort. An enthusiastic cigar aficionado, Garzaroli partnered with cigar legend Avelino Lara, Fidel Castro's private roller and the creator of the original Cohiba, to develop Graycliff's high-end limited production cigars. Graycliff Cigars have gone on to achieve worldwide recognition as some of the finest cigars available today, each cigar meticulously hand-crafted within the lush tropical setting of this prestigious resort.
The Graycliff Cigar Company factory tour is one of the unique delights that can only be experienced in The Bahamas. There are very few cigar factories in the world that allow visitors, and none offer the beautiful surroundings, sense of history and elegant old world atmosphere of Graycliff – not to mention the amenities! The resort setting makes the Graycliff Cigar Company factory tour enjoyable for everyone, thus is ideal as part of a day trip, or as a great start to an evening at one of Graycliff's fine restaurants.
