Back from Cuba

El Laguito

Nov. 2011

Back from Cuba after 5 weeks - thousands of pictures and many impressions in my backpack.


I'll decompress and sort out the notes and the memory cards.


Expect reports and pictures on a pre-release tasting for the RyJ Gran Reserva blend, visits to El Laguito and La Corona factories, a monthly cigar dinner at the Melia Cohiba, visits to the tobacco plantations and the next face of Cuban tobacco, Sr Hector Luis Prieto as well as Hirochi Robaina, smoking cigars with North Koreans and the poetic justice of Chinese being out-faked, the new Paladares of Havana, the comfy Casas Particulares, a stroll through Casa Fuster in Jaimanitas, fun with Cuban and foreign friends, historical Havana and the Cañonazo from the fortress as well as the Plaza Vieja and the Welcome dinner of the Encuentro de Amigos de Partagas.


Right now I am enjoying the sunny autumn in the village, cold enough after Cuba's humid heat but still pleasant enough to sit outside smoking a cigar and sipping café con leche.
