  • 1000?

    Since this is my 1000th post I thought I better make it noteworthy, so here goes.

    I read an article last time I was home relating to the changes which may happen in Cuba over the next few years and the impact it would have on the infrastructure and economy within the country.

    Bearing that in mind, I decided that I better get over there before it all changes for the worse.I have about a month to kill in the UK, and I decided to head over and check it out.I leave tomorrow morning.

    It has all been a bit rushed to be honest and I am going to tour round the Island and take in as much as I can of the culture which the country has to offer.
    I will not be taking my laptop, so I may not be posting much for the next few weeks on the forum.If I can post something while in the country then I will certainly do so, failing that I should have plenty of photographs when I return.

    First few days will be spent in the Melia Cohiba Hotel in Havana, which apparently has a huge cigar shop in the lobby, with hard to find cigars in its stock.They also hold cigar tasting evenings(there`s a thing you don`t come over very often).
    Will then be heading up to Cinfuegos, Trinidad and Santa Clara, as well as Vinales in Pinar del Rio, which as you know is where the main agricultural area is, and this is one place I have always wanted to see.I will then head back over to Varadero to chill out for a few days on the beach.

    Hopefully there will be no hurricanes while I am there, and the sun will be shining; along the way I also hope to pick up a few boxes of Cubas finest as well.

      Blimey! Sounds like a great idea. Enjoy yourself and don't worry about us. We'll still be here when you get back.

      Congrats on reaching a 1000 btw!

        Have a ball there, Craig!

        I worked out that I touch down in Havana in six weeks to the day, so will really look forward to all your tales.

                Craig, have a ball. Great island with a great feeling about the people. You get what you give over there mate (as many parts of the world) so be generous with your smiles and tip as appropriate (they need it)

                The Hotel Nationale in Havana also has a large cigar store in the basement but I'm not experienced enough to comment about the rarer sticks. Prices were very reasonable when there in January of this year. PM me where you're going in Varadero as I have a Canadian buddy who is in the area from the 20th, good lad and loves a herf (you never know, it may the same resort) and a drink and a laugh.

                What a way to get the the 1K post. Niicey.

                    that has to be the best 1000th post ever mate!

                    can I ask who you booked with and what sort of price range for the trip? I really want to get over there but it seems quite cash heavy, will have to get saving I guess

                      Went last year - Melia is nice, but very `Western' IYKWIM. Herfing at The Nacional is lovely. We stayed at the Hotel Conde de Villanueva which has a cigar shop inside which is really nice too - also close to the Motor museum and Chocolate museum which are both very funny

                      Manager of the Melia shop said he could have arranged a visit to Cohiba's factory El Laguito if we'd been staying longer :-(

                      Congrats on the 1000th post, all a good read.
