Popular Post Puros Y Vino Posted March 29, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted March 29, 2017 Just did a four day stint in Havana with some good friends. No debauchery, just some good, relaxing times. A Trinidad Topes EL 2016 outside our "hotel" which seemed to be a running joke with the other hotels. Not going to bother with this release myself. Hanging out at Club Habana after emptying the place out of Monsdales. Enjoying a mid 1970's Sir Winnie at 5 y 16 LCDH with an espresso. I like bringing these old classics to their birthplace to smoke. While at 5 y 16, Carlos Robaina handed me his cigar for the day to enjoy. Smoked it later that night at the Nacional. Simply brilliant! Probably the spiciest, full bodied Cuban I've had since the RACF. Some silliness in an old Chevy. Lot's of silly faces in this one. La China rolling at Partagas whilst singing to herself. Enjoying the Partagas VIP lounge all to ourselves. Love this building. So glad they finally finished the restoration work. The leg of lamb at La Terraza. It just doesn't get any better than this. FYI. The clay pot chicken at El Aljibe is worth the 45 minute wait (while you smoke of course) Enjoying a modern classic. El Capitolo facelift coming along. Looking better since my first trip in 2012. 18 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drguano Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 Ah, looks great. I am more than ready to go back. What did Carlos Robaina give you to smoke? It looks like a well rolled stogie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MooseAMuffin Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 Great read along with great pics! I know you already have a great collection but, did you find any interesting cigars to bring back that you're excited about? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post ebhead Posted March 29, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted March 29, 2017 But here's a photo of my haul from the trip On my last day there Dantes and SLR Cuba REs started to show up in volume across the city, and there was ample supply of both at the Varadero airport last night when a couple of us were heading back. Outside of singles both the Topes and Capuletos were nowhere to be seen. Most stock was regular production. Oh, Havana also had a few Sir Winnie's floating around. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LLC Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 Great write upAside from no hot water, the Colina location was good. The rooms were clean and comfortable for a hotel 1/10 the current rate at The National. The front patio was a great place to smoke while waiting for the group to assemble to head out. Habana Libre had multiple boxes of Capuletos. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's my story and I'm sticking to it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
