This years shopping trip help

[Knvb78]

Well I had not planned a trip to the promised land this year but work overload and the weak Canadian dollar had me rethinking Europe in the fall and I ended up just booking an R&R cigar trip. Heading to varadero June 1st if any FOH'ers are in the area during that time but as per usual I'm looking for your suggestions on what to look out for. Hamlet is state side so no Havana trip most likely but if there are any standout EL's or 15's or early promising 16's to look out for I would love your opinions.

Cheers!

I think you should plan to just stick to what you like or go for the tried and true. BBFs, RASS, MC4s, Partie Shorts. I could go on because there really are plenty of good options. Cohibas should definitely be on the list if there is no budget, however there is no more of a cost effective way then to buy them then in Cuba. If you do happen to find any ELs then make an executive decision. The 2015 Ramon Allones LEs are quite good and a 10 count box won't kill the budget. Again if you have deep pockets look out for the H. Upmann 2015 LE Mag 56s. Haven't had one yet but plenty of buzz about them. There are good options with the LCDH Exclusives as well. Happy hunting.

The Upmann 56's are definitely on the list. Hopefully I can find them!
