Miramar LCDH, Havana & Varadero LCDH Plaza Americas

[TygaWoods]

Hello everyone,

I'm excited to make my first post on here. Little bit about myself, I'm about 2 years actively in the Cuban cigar community, although I've been following for the last 4 years or so. Just had my 30th this year, the older I get the more obsessed I'm getting with the Cuban sticks! Looking forward to the years to come to grow my collection. I'm a Canadian from Western Canada. Our cigar prices and rules (plain packaging) have become slightly ridiculous. Nevertheless, which is why I was excited about my trip to Cuba that I took last month that I'm about to share with you all.

I often post a lot in the reddit cuban cigars forum however I was excited to post here. My first post is something I have already posted on Reddit which was some shots of the LCDH in both Havana and Varadero (Plaza Americas). Good experience, the LCDH in Havana was beautiful. Oddly enough, the network was down when buying cigars so I had wait over 1 HOUR for it be back on as they only take credit card. What a first experience in Havana... Nevertheless I was excited to buy my cigars when the purchase finally went through.

Stock levels were decent. Not a lot of LCDH edition cigars left. Lots of HU Royal Robustos, however I'm not a fan of HU oddly enough. I know I'm definitely in the minority there. So I did not pick up any, however now that I'm back in Canada I'm having second thoughts.

Looking forward to becoming part of the FOH community. Hope you all enjoy the pictures.
