Just Got Back From Havana...

[Chiberia312]

....And it "feels" much better than it did in Jan of 2023. The overall vibe is still one of "making due with what we have", but I feel that will always be case in Cuba. As for cigar levels, it was the lowest I have seen it since I have been going in 2018. I should have took pictures at Melia Cohiba and the Partagas shop (next to Floridita). Wiped the f**k out. 

I met up with Yermandy and scooped up a bundle of the 56s and his lanceros. The Lanceros were ready to smoke. The 56s need a bit of rest. But they were great right off the light. 

A quick 72hrs was what I needed to escape Portland's freakish ice storms, and it hit the soul just right.

Cool pics. Are you fluent in Italian or was that the only choice left for that book?

Literally the only one left. Hahaha. I saw it last time, and I didn't have a MLC card, so I had to wait until this trip to get a card and purchase it.

Ayyyy a fellow Portlander?! I’m in Milwaukie… this weather has been terrible, but of course now it’ll be in the mid-50s so you must’ve brought some better weather back.

Looks great out there in Cuba. You even got a pic with Yerandy, that guy is like the Bigfoot these days haha.

You ever meetup in Portland to burn one down folks?

I saw this on reddit and I suspect it will be referenced many times going forward as Yerandy, seems to be a pretty popular topic over there. I grabbed some 54's from him a few months ago, but just threw them into the tupperdor and haven't yet tried one. Great report, thank you for sharing.
