Ngwe Zin Yaw Shop is a traditional cheroot making workshop. Cheroots are small cigar like objects. They make them from large green Sebastian leaves and tobacco flavoured with different things such as banana, star anise, mint, honey, betel nut & pineapple. The workers were making up to 1000 a day, each and in full view of boatloads of tourists.
