I think that hotel is just around the corner from the one npalfrey stayed in and I stayed in back in May. Have a dig through my post history, I had some info for [MENTION=13443991]npalfrey[/MENTION] who I'm sure can give you more up to date info.
Yeah - Robs info is in the cigar travel section under "I'm darned lucky..."
From what I've heard the Blau is meant to be really nice... It's so much bigger than the others but that's not a bad thing!
My advice is to get out and about and meet the people, who were awesome!
Having done a tour to the cigar factory, I would avoid that, Thomas Cook call it inside Cuba + and it was a long day with 30 mins in the factory... Take a cab!
The shop Rob and I used is about 15 mins up the road... And easy enough to find... If you read my above note...
(Basically - when you arrive at the market at Guardlavca go back along the road which you came in on about 100 metres and its on the left)
Otherwise, beach beach beach! And if there is a shop selling smokes, don't be afraid to ask to see the stock and check them out first... Like I said, aircon destroyed many I smoked!
Something else the Cubans are mad about is fresh, these came in today... Well I like age on mine so unless you buy from a habanos they are going to be old a nasty or new and green!
