Nino Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 Hi, have you ever heard of a factory called "La Marina" rolling the BEST Cohibas ?? Or does the name "House of Misterys" mean anything to you ?? Why is El Laguito called El Laguito ?? See: Re-visiting the "holy grail" of Cuban cigars - El Laguito factory in Havana : http://www.flyingcigar.de/travel_cigars/2012_04_cuba_el_laguito_visits.php Nino Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miner Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 Wow, so you don't have to die to go to heaven. All I have to do now is persuade the Missus that the art in Cuba is amazing... And that could be our next holiday destination Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roy R. Frush Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 Fantastic story and photos, Nino! Interesting to see the Palma Real bands on that worker's bench.

Hm, they should know where El Laguito area is located - tell them past Palco - Palacio de Convenciones - that is past Miramar on Quinta Avda., then left at La Cecilia roundabout and another 5 minutes past Palco and the ambassador's residences, on the right past the Spanish amb. residence- but dont' expect to just show up and enter ........ Thanks Nino. Your insights in the Cuban people and cigars is appreciated. I look forward to more of your adventures in Cuba. Thank you - another 4 more coming on real adventures out in the countryside and swamps ......... Fantastic story and photos, Nino! Interesting to see the Palma Real bands on that worker's bench.
