CUBANO Posted January 7, 2016 Posted January 7, 2016 It sounds like is going to be better than last year. If that's possible. 4

Kratos Posted January 8, 2016 Posted January 8, 2016 I am in Was planning to go this year Will also be my first time in Cuba Cant wait
Habana Mike Posted January 9, 2016 Posted January 9, 2016 Tempting, very tempting. Any advice on where to stay? Always wanted to go, not had the serious inclination until now. I'd suggest the Nacional first time down, economics willing. Casa a good second option. 3
Cigar Surgeon Posted January 12, 2016 Posted January 12, 2016 I'm a maybe. CAD is very bad and prices were extremely high in Havana this November.
CanuckSARTech Posted January 14, 2016 Posted January 14, 2016 Prez, I am in for this. Permission has been granted. My first time to Cuba so i can't wait - count me in for all events! Just need to decide where to stay - should be easy as I'll be solo for the week! Chris, you're good for this year? Where are you gonna be at - are you back here again permanently this fall? Send me an e-mail - I'll get you in on some discussions tomorrow.
CanuckSARTech Posted January 14, 2016 Posted January 14, 2016 Screw the lot of you! Just remember next time - NO, you HAVEN'T been to Africa. EVER. LOL. Give it another shot! I'd suggest the Nacional first time down, economics willing. Casa a good second option. Agreed. Nacional is "cigar central", and where everyone always seems to end up meeting up. That said, I believe spots are very tight, and Frank was saying earlier I think that pricing has almost doubled (for us at least - might be a Canadian dollar thing more too). I'm a maybe. CAD is very bad and prices were extremely high in Havana this November. No, you need to be a YES.
CanuckSARTech Posted January 14, 2016 Posted January 14, 2016 Oh yeah - by the way, yes, I'm in. 100% Work arrangements have already been made. The boss / wife unit is already aware as well, and while she's not overly pleased or approving of it, it's a go from her reluctantly (her going this past November and meeting Rob, Andy, Punch Joe, Nino, John, and many many others definitely helped!). I have 10 months of work to do in the meantime to make her happy. All will be good. LOL.

No, you need to be a YES. A lot of moving parts. If we can fly into Havana, and for cheaper, that would make a sizable difference. Our November trip was a bit rough on the currency exchange, only getting 0.67 to ever CAD. I'd imagine it's about the same or worse right now. If I do go down (and believe me I want to) my cigar budget will be extremely limited.
riazp Posted January 14, 2016 Posted January 14, 2016 i'd love to make it. i'll try, but i doubt i'll have the budget to go. I have 10 months to prep, but highly unliky for me at this moment.
Cohiba007 Posted January 15, 2016 Posted January 15, 2016 Does anyone have a link to all th photos from the last one? I can't find it.
oliverdst Posted January 15, 2016 Posted January 15, 2016 Does anyone have a link to all th photos from the last one? I can't find it. It´s easier to search using just words in the "title" ("only search in titles" match) of the thread http://www.friendsofhabanos.com/forum/index.php?app=core&module=search&search_in=forums Try the above link and use the word HAVANAFEST
oliverdst Posted January 15, 2016 Posted January 15, 2016 I am really intending going but the Brazilian currency is ridiculous at this time and like many have said, prices were really high last november. Besides that (and I don´t know if this is good or bad) I have 2 other trips booked this year. One with friends (all set) and one with family (in the beggining of the arrangements). For diferent reasons hard to miss any of them,

Habana Mike Posted January 17, 2016 Posted January 17, 2016 Looking forward to finally meet you in person Gino!!! 1
riazp Posted January 17, 2016 Posted January 17, 2016 I truly hope i can make it, but as of now, looking at pricing, weak canadian dollar and all, its not looking likely. Hopefully i can hit the lotto between now and then lol
