Enjoy Sunset with a Fine Cigar in Hawi

It’s been MONTHS since our vacation when we had this experience, and we are STILL telling people about it. We enjoyed it so much that I had to circle back with a review, even after all this time… You know how it is when you get back to reality after a vacation and time speeds back up into the regular cadence of day to day life… often times we never get back to do the things we had every intention of completing, like I intended to write a review. Normally, a few weeks, if I haven’t gotten back to doing one after a few weeks, well, I probably won’t. But THIS experience was worth sharing with as many people as possible, so, here I am, almost a year later writing a review! If you are on the fence about this excursion, DON’T hesitate! GO! You will NOT regret it! Richard is an excellent host, and left an indelible impression on us that has lasted almost a year. We intend to go back. He meets you at the gate to his property (which is a plus, because the way there is a bit off the grid) and you feel like you have been swept into a dream… The ambiance is unbelievable!! From his cigar lounge, to the cigars he provides, to the whiskey he pours, to the intimate groups that he books (small groups of @ 6- 10 people at a time, which lends positively to the experience overall) but by FAR the BEST parts are the sunset and twilight views… The colors are remarkable, the endless view from his property are unforgettable (you can see Maui as you gaze across the ocean), and the twilight view of the stars/Milky Way mixed with the sounds of the ocean and the wind in the grass is UTTERLY SURREAL. Add to that a good cigar and a great glass of Richard’s remarkable selected spirits, and it is truly an experience of a lifetime. If you don’t go, you are missing out on an otherworldly experience!!!
