It's a gay tour guide service for gay travelers in Cuba! Nice college kids,
openly gay and they seem to feel that the government isn't against gays.
Meeting these people was the highlight of our trip. They really opened our eyes to a Cuba we could never have discovered on our own.
Half-hourly English-language tours at Cuba's oldest cigar factory offer a fascinating insight into the creation of some of the worlds most prized cigars. Spread across several open-plan workshops – in which workers are read to from a newspaper – and strewn with bales of tobacco leaves, wooden implements and stacks of attractive cigar boxes, the factory is visually striking. And even if you don’t indulge, by the time you leave you’ll know your Cohiba’s from your Montecristo’s, which, if nothing else, makes for a good party trick.
