Cuban Mule - Help on 'The Shopping List' required

[Duxnutz]

Hi Brothers and Sisters,

I will have a mule travelling to Cuba later this year and am not sure what they should get for me. I was hoping to get advice and suggestions from those that have gone ahead of me or have employed the services of mules before in the past.

My brief is:

* not regular production (i can get that any where)

* Because of Australian tax, i can get about 10 sticks (2 mules) or if its really special a box and i take the hit on the tax

* Want to be able to give as clear instructions as possible, mates are on holidays so i don't want to impose on them to much (they aren't Cigar smokers)

* Cigar brands i tend to enjoy Partagas, Diplomaticos and Raphael Gonzalez.

Help!

I'd have thought you'd be going after custom rolls. I know that's what I'll be doing if/when I go there.

What are the Diplomatico RE Excelencias going for?

will be in Varadero in March and will be paying the Plaza Las Americas lcdh a visit and the Dip RE's will be on my radar.

That is correct.

I paid 86 and that's what the sticker on the box says. The price must have gone up.

i'm not to clued up on the custom rolls. Is there a particular place to get them and what is good?

i must admit i'd like to try something a bit grungy and maybe having excessive hairs on the foot.

At the moment i am thinking this might be a 'too hard to explain' to a mule conversation.

You can give them a list. I.e. "Buy cigars from roller A at the LCDH such and such"

Diplo RE Cuba and Custom Rolls would be my poison.

Looking what you desire and sending them to the exact place would avoid any debacles...

just got back from Havana, Club allones were readily availeble at Habana Libre hotel with more to come at the other Casa's. Exellencias, good luck finding those, practially impossible.

Other than Club Allones or Cuba RE, Go for customs. thats what i did, i picked up cigars from Reynaldo, Juanita and Yolanda.
