Havana dreaming

[kurtdesign1]

Wow. Could that be more perfectly American? 1 fat, 1 in a visor, 1 in your grandfather's fishing hat, one with black socks and shorts. Oy.

What's wrong with black dress socks and shorts?????

Makes fun of grandfather's fishing hat ... has avatar with ridiculous hat ... I think he might just be jealous!

I am american. Clearly this doesn't bother me. I just notice and mentioned that I know it bothers others

...and in my defense, I was not consulted before that avatar was chosen and uploaded. We have another administrator to thank for that.

Day 2 & 3. Some of the highlights. I have done a lot of picture taking.



Mastercases.
1 box of the Trinidad Tropes EL 2016



Beginning of the Amicigar party.
40 Americans and a couple Canucks. Excellent. Gracious Americans.



A couple singles for tasting.



Anyone who says the food in Cuba sucks, has never eaten in Havana. This was $6.50.

Awesome.

I didn't know you had made the AMICIgar party. I know many, many there. You forgot about the Italian & Spaniard though

Enjoy yourself. Take care of that ankle. Watch for the watered down shit-tasting avocados. I hear they're everywhere...

The Avocados at the Amicigar party were amazing !

So I decided to walk yesterday morning from Old Havana to the Commodoro Hotel. 3 hours 10 minutes of non stop foot pounding. Was hot, sweaty and tiring. Will never do that again.

Got invited back to hang with the guys from the same party. Those Americans are fantastic.

$4 for rum and 4 cola at the small Cuban market.



Street food.



Both of these came out yesterday and were gone within hours. It pays to have friends at the cigar shops I tell you !

This trip has been the highlight of my cigar experiences as far as meeting friends and making friends. Amazing. I learned more with Colin on the Cigar Tourism trip, but this has been so fun. There have been more Americans in the shops by far, than anyone else. Everywhere I turn you hear a different southern drawl or northern twang.

I am on day 5, and 22 cigars in, and it is the beginning of the day. That was not including the 2 I pitched quickly because I was not a fan of the flavor. That is the difference. I can still taste cigars at the end of the day here vs. Nicaragua hahaha ^_^
