Ryan Posted September 20, 2019 Share Posted September 20, 2019 Habanos is late this year in announcing dates for next February's festival. Usually there is news out in August. Still nothing public yet for next year. Be careful of Cuba travel/tour websites, they usually put out offers early and, as often as not, get the dates wrong, as some have this year. I was just talking with a Habanos distributor and the dates they have are 24-28 February, 2020. I know, in some parts of the world, it's useful to start booking travel arrangements about now. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryan Posted September 20, 2019 Author Share Posted September 20, 2019 I just had a look at the Air France rates for that time of the year. That made me sad! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viva Vegas Posted September 20, 2019 Share Posted September 20, 2019 Question, I was planning on going to Havana during this time just to spend a few days and buy cigars. Being the festival is going on would this hurt or help my trip, I hate waiting in line to buy anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everything & Anything of interest will have been vacuum cleaned by the merchants and Festival visitors or kept for them ... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aer Lingus flies direct to MSP. Come visit and see what frozen hell is like and then we’ll fly to HAV via ATL or MIA. That way you can have a free prostate exam courtesy of the TSA. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd love to call up to you and Mrs. Guano at some point but probably not next Feb, in transit to and from Cuba it's probably simpler for me to avoid taking bags out of airside in the US. Air France prices fluctuate all the time. Will you both be there in November/February? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We may go down in November and very, very likely in February. We’ll be visiting the grandchild in London for Halloween and Guy Fawkes Day. There is something else in the works for 10/31 in the U.K. as well besides Ajay’s new shop... it has to do with a guy named Boris. Ah, well... it will come to me.

Viva Vegas Posted September 25, 2019 Share Posted September 25, 2019 So my Havana trip is 1 week prior to the festival, would this mean the shops will be stocked up or be holding products for the next week ? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
