TypicalSituation Posted April 13, 2015 Posted April 13, 2015 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! 1

CanuckSARTech Posted June 27, 2015 Author Posted June 27, 2015 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. 1
