Start your adventure at Managua Airport where you will stop at the passport control to pay your $5 entrance fee and have your passport stamped.  Pick up your luggage, go through customs and exchange some US dollars for Cordoba’s.  Your deluxe motor coach will be waiting outside to whisk you off to Esteli, where the climate is cooler and the best tobacco grows.  (This part of the country served as a refuge for Cuban cigar makers during the Cuban Revolution – thus establishing this large industry?) Your luggage will be delivered to Los Arcos Hotel by separate transportation, where you will spend the next 3 nights.  Stop for lunch at La Fogata Buffet and sample some of the local food.  Board the coach for your trip along the Pan-American Highway and get your first glimpse of life in perhaps the largest tobacco and coffee country.    Arrive at Los Arcos Hotel where you can relax on the rooftop patio, overlooking the city, and recuperate after your overnight flight.  That evening, enjoy a Welcome Dinner at the Lovo Cigar Factory and find out all the exciting things that are in store for you in the next couple of days, from Plantin’ Seed to Kickin’ Ash!  Overnight at Los Arcos Hotel
