I haven't posted in a while so I thought I'd update with my recent trips to Varadero Cuba...

I stayed at the Palma Real this most recent trip and while it is dated and could use some freshening up (in fairness I think this can be said of most resorts in Varadero), we had a blast & I have no complaints when I take in to consideration how little it costs to stay there. Weather was so-so... it rained the first day & a half plus it was really windy most of the time.

For what it's worth, I'd go back. When I got tired of the buffet, my wife & I started eating out in town.

Brought back some cigars, a bottle of Ron Varadero, Santiago & Legendario plus a few more bags of coffee.

200 Ramon Allones Extras
50 Ramon Allones Superiores
50 Romeo y Julieta Short Churchills
50 Montecristo No. 2
50 Partagas Serie D No. 4
40 Partagas Salomones
10 Partagas Especiales

This brings my April total to 700 cigars when you add the ones I picked up at the beginning on the month.

Now all I have to do is make sure Jill doesn't see the Visa bill and I'm golden... LOL

I'm surprised they let you bring that many cigars back?? Is there any kind of quota into Canada?

Damn brother. Looks like you bought out the stores. I would like to visit Cuba.

Totally nuts. Insane, even.

And THAT is why......

Color me jealous, maybe more for the trip than the cigars. :-)

Whoa! I surely wasn't expecting this when I opened the thread! That would've been my pre-divorce vacation.

Wow!!!:-)

Looks like a prosperous trip!!!:-)

Now that's what I call WINNING!

Damn, I'm green with envy for sure. My mastercard couldn't handle that load in one month and I'm quite sure a divorce would be in the works shortly afterwards. Steve

Wowsa, what a haul. Hope the trip was nice. I suspect you will remember that more than the cigars down the road.
[Reply]

Wow. is the only word I can muster. Wow.

Nice haul. I've smoked one RAAE, and did enjoy it. Got a couple more that are going to go down for a long nap.

Hope you enjoyed the trip! Would love to visit Cuba someday. And hopefully before they open up tourism to Americans.

Wow! Looks like you were saving your tax refund for the right thing, congrats, glad you had a great trip!
[Reply]

Incredible haul! Best of luck hiding the Visa bill!
[Reply]

Holy S#IT! Not much more I can say. Some day, I'd like to visit the country. Just to see the sights, and maybe tour a factory or 2. :-)
