Yes, we rave about them just because of that - inexpensive, great tasting, interesting blends, and a very personal and unique experience when dealing with the maestro torcedor themselves.

They aren't difficult to get, providing pre-orders / communications are sometimes sent down ahead of time, depeding on peak seasons, popularity of the roller, scarcity of leaf, etc., etc.

And yes, as Tom said, there are a number of us who indeed travel down there and pick up hundreds and hundreds per trips - but myself and many others do so ONLY for personal consumption, or the occasional gifts / trades (you wouldn't believe the amount of people who "cold call" PM or e-mail me, asking to sell some). There are maybe some who resell on private sales webpages, but there's obviously a price premium spent there, and rightly so - market demand online, travel costs, dollar exchange losses, availability on the island, etc., etc., all come into play.

But, if you can snag a trip yourself, there's no better payoff than loading up on these beauties!!!

Rest assured, when I can catch a flight from the USA and travel down, I'll do it in a heart beat!

Is she located at Melia Habana or Melia Cohiba?

Edit, found it.

Sorry, didn't see this earlier. But yes, Melia Habana - it's the one out in Miramar more. The Melia Cohiba is the one that's basically down along the Malecon, and just a few blocks from the Hotel Nacional.
