Read on another board that he might be in t.j. starting 7-3- 06 for a week. Anybody heard anything? i'd love to be able to buy two so that i could say i have them and then figure out when to smoke them. :cool:
 
I am going to call LCDH tomorrow to find out for sure. If he is there I will try to make a trip down there. They told me last year that he was going to retire and that he would not ever be coming back. I smell BS in order to jack up the prices though. I will try to talk to David, the owner. I will be interested in his story.

I will let you all know what I find out.

Alan... I'll ride shotgun if you're ready for a roadtrip to TJ. :thumbs:
 
The last time I was in Tijuana, I was 18. For those who were scratching their heads as I did, I got this off a quick Google:

Havana: Rodolfo Taboada at 64 has been rolling cigars in downtown Havana for over four decades making a legend of his skill. And, the Partagas factory, where he works, rolls out over 30,000 finest of its kind a day, all hand-made, for millions of connoisseurs the world over.

Let me know if I'm wrong, guys. Sounds like this could be an interesting trip.
 
Here is the text of an email I got from LCDH the other day in my Yahoo account that I don't often check.

Dear Compadres,
WE ARE PLEASED TO ANNOUNCE MASTER ROLLER RODOLFO TABOADA IS COMING

JULY 3rd!!!

Come join us at La Casa del Habano - Tijuana, and meet one of the best rollers from Cuba, Mr. Rodolfo Taboada. Maestro Taboada is a man that has rolled Cuban Cigars for the past 50 years in the
traditional way.

Since Master Taboada’s retirement last year he received countless requests from the lovers of fine puros to occasional grace us with his magnificent blends. Senor Taboada has agreed to a short return starting July 3rd to honor those requests and to celebrate the opening of David’s second LCdH in Cancun.

Here is your chance to smoke one of the best cigars and meet a living legend of Cuban cigar blending and construction.

So come down and try these great cigars rolled on site in every format by Maestro Rodolfo Taboada, 9th category Cigar Master.

Sincerely.

LA CASA DEL HABANO - TIJUANA MEXICO STAFF.

PS: His cigars will be spoken for quickly and this opportunity may not come again. His allotted time is all too brief for true connoisseurs of "the best".

During Master Taboada's stay LCDH-TJ will be open from 10am to 9pm 7 days a week.

Contact us at:

sales@lacasadelhabano.com

Direct Line: 619-819-7545

If my girlfriend doesn't work one day this week and can watch my kids for me, I will take a trip down there. She is a freelance court reporter so she does not know her work schedule 'til the night before so I will just buy a bundle to split with you guys. I will make a post the night before I go.

Alan, if you do end up going and getting a bundle for a group buy, please count me in. I'm leaving for vacation tomorrow morning, so I may not see your post on the group buy. I'm definitely in. Thanks.

Alan,

any idea what tobacco he uses, from the Partagas factory or just his own source of supply from various places?
