Who is attending the Partagas Opening Night (Tuesday 18th November ) Havana.

Does anyone know a shop owner from I believe, the Cayman Islands, that always goes to the Partagas Festival? I met him 2 years ago and thought he was a nice guy but I lost a lot of my notes and for the life of me can't remember his name or his shop.

Valerio Cornale. He is a nice guy.

Saw this on Facebook this morning.

The Museo de las Bellas Artes is a nice venue in a fairly handy location if anyone is thinking of the gala dinner.

The events are the same prices as 3 years ago.

Having been to one Partagas Festival and having seen pictures of the Wednesday and Thursday events, there is no way I would choose to go to either of those.

Valerio Cornale. He is a nice guy.

Thanks Andy. Doing a quick google search of Valerio, that isn't the guy I met. The guy I met was a black guy in his 50's maybe, average height. He hung out at the Partagas Shop and knew all the regulars. I thought it was the Caymans, but could be the Bahamas. I had a lot of info typed into my phone and lost all the data shortly after my trip.

Sounds like the guy who works for Valerio. Meet him last January. Rush will know.
