Hey all FOH, Finylly will fly to CUBA after many yyears lurking on the forums (FoH and others).... I just wanted to share my future and first trip to Cuba in May 2020 (4th - 20th ca.) After a long time waiting to get the possibility to travel again, I decided to fly to the Cuba finally and also I wanted to gift my dear mom to discover it too. Will travel there to an acquaintance parents in Havana and maybe a few days in a resort (has to be defined at this moment... ). Will also be very happy to meet with any Foh Members who will be there on these dates PS: More infos will follw here as I get confirmations

So I have a friend of mine visiting Cuba in January. She doesn't know the first thing about cigars so in an attempt to prepare her for any purchase, I printed the online price list from the link below: http://yulcigars.blogspot.ca/2016/12/cigar-price-list-in-cuba_7.html?m=1 What she lacks in cigar knowledge she makes up for in street smarts and negotiating skills. Because I don't want to impose too much, I don't think I can ask for more than maybe 2 boxes and some 3 packs (Espléndidos, Siglo VI, maybe Monte A's 5er). Knowing what some of you know about the LCdH's out there and how they can be stocked one day and empty the other... What might you guys order/request? I'm feeling like value vs availability. I can get two boxes of Connie A's due to value, and a couple of Siglo VI / Espléndidos 3 packs. The other alternative is go for a box of Siglo VI or Sir Winnie's if they're available and a 3 pack or two of Espléndidos. Not sure what else I can buy that's great bang for buck. I'm thinking low 200s for a box of Connie's sounds like good value. I just know I'll need some contingency plans in case one of these offerings isn't there. Most likely than not this shopping will take place in Havana at Hotel Nacional. Thoughts? Cheers men, Javi
