Cigar Workshop

In order to save time and not to stay one night out of Yangon, we rented a car from Yangon to Bago and the Golden Rock. Luckily the driver brought us to some interesting places on the way, including this cigar "factory".

Cigar Making

It was very interesting to see how the girls make cigar. They were kind enough to teach me how. The girl was laughing and then kind enough to re-do mine. Before I left, the kind girl decided to give me the last 3 I made. I was hesitating and our driver said, "Take them, they cannot sell such quality cigar anyhow."
The cigars were light and sweet, I really liked them.
