puff.com cigar factory tours?

I've been spending a lot of time on the computer lately on youtube and metacafe looking at cogar factory tours. There are a couple of guys like Cigar Fox and Cigar Doc that travel to the Caribbean and do video documentaries of the cigar factories. With the launch of puff.com and the consolodation of resources, would it be possible to have Kevin or Jon to travel and do a series of documentaries of these cigar factories? they are really fascinating and would help show how these totally hand made cigars are crafted.

Another benefit would be to show how the people of the region depend on the work provided by the cigar industry. Most of the people in the Esteli region, for example, are employed by the cigar factories/farms. Showing how the cigar tax in the US would decimate the employment in these impoverished regions may help in thwarting the 2,000% proposed tax increase. It is possible that the unemployed could be forced to find work in the drug trade and other undesirable forms of income.

I don't know how possible it is to do (resources) but it is certainly a great idea - I think it would be another great attraction to puff.com....

This is already in production. Too bad we have to cancel now that everyone's pissed off that we have advertising on the site.

We're going to take down all the ads and make a collection for donations from you guys for the trips.

I'm glad that wasn't a Rick Roll, Kevin, because I fall for them every time.
I think the documentaries will be awesome.

LOL. Daniel, the former owner of Cigar Live is doing them. He is the "video guy". The two of us flew out to LA together right before the holidays to interview actor Nick Tarabay. I think we'll publish that one in the next week or so.
