Drew Estate Cigar Safari March 2012 [05:25]
If your are a cigar aficionado, or just a fan of cigars, or want to be cultured... I highly recommend reserving your trip of a lifetime to the Drew Estate Tobacco "Cigar Safari" in Esteli, Nicaragua in the next tours 2013. Not only to you get to stay on site at his amazing factory, the accommodations are intimate and 1st class, the staff is first class, the food is amazing, the comradery amongst the other guests while enjoying a Liga Privada cigar and drinking delicious Nicaraguan rum (scotch for Jdog). The host Jonathan Drew is the most well versed man in the entire cigar/tobacco industry. He is passionate about what he does, and extremely knowledgeable. He is so personable while you are staying as a guest of his. He is a laid back cat, and really makes sure you have an amazing trip while you are there. You get to take a private tour of his factory, as well as see the real Nicaragua. He is so kind that in the end of your tour he takes his own personal time to afford you the opportunity to have a private blending session where he helps you choose which wrappers, fillers, and binders to use in your own personal custom cigars. A quick note. Jonathan's host, Pedro is an amazing guy and super knowledgeable about he Nicaraguan culture, as well as Jessi the artist for Drew Estate, he is extremely talented and also takes you on a tour of the artist studio. Make sure you tell them "Chef" Scott C. Says wassup!!! Thank you Jonathan Drew, Nick, Jose Blanco, Don Pepin, Drew Estate ...

Fair to Farmer Direct I Nicaraguan Students [04:00]
We're backing Nicaragua's bright young coffee kids. Coffee education is at the heart of Salt Spring Coffee, only this time we're not talking about cupping notes and varietals -- it's the education of Nicaragua's coffee kids that's got our attention. In Nicaragua families work to live so it's not uncommon for children to start work at a very young age to earn added income for the family, leaving little time for school. This very reality is what makes this group of bright young coffee farm kids so remarkable. Each has been accepted to Universidad Centroamericana (UCA) in Managua, Nicaragua's capital city. Only the cost of getting a child to Managua is out of reach for a lot of coffee families. It's not uncommon for the average coffee family to experience three-month stretches where their financial resources are limited because of a gap between the coffee growing season and the industry's buying cycle. Needless to say, when putting food on the table year-round is a challenge, sending a child away to university is just not possible. But we no longer want that to be the case. Through Fair to Farmer Direct, our goal is to raise the funds to send prospective students to the Universidad Centroamericana (UCA) to complete their chosen post-secondary degrees. And we want your help. Your commitment and contribution to these kids will give them a chance to make their own future, and carve out a new path for a generation of coffee kids in Nicaragua.
