    Definitely give Maique a message. I can't suggest him strongly enough. Or his good friend Maikel if you want to hunt down rare boxes at the LCDHs.

    I have a ton of pictures from El Laguito (Cohiba) factory, which they are no longer doing public tours. But I am tech ignorant. How do I reduce the size of my JPEG? They're cool pictures if only for the specialty cigars Cohiba Majestuosos and Grandiosos 1966 currently in pre-production.

    VIP lounge at old Partagas Factory. The old factory was shut down and operates just the LCDH. La Chine rolls here, although she very rarely rolls anymore. Mostly for the festivals now. I got a bundle of her robusto and pyramides. Very light, very nice.

    The music was great. Buena Vista Social Club puts on a great show. Parisien puts on a nice caberet show as well at the Hotel Nacional. The food is great if you know where to go. Al Carbon has the very best roasted sucking pig. It's worth a visit all by itself. However, there are many bad...
