El Presidente Posted October 4, 2018 Author Posted October 4, 2018 Can I suggest the lads/lasses turning up.....post up a photo of themselves in order that you are recognised by newcomers either at these events or elsewhere around Havana?

Hoping for a small, van based one rather than a pricey get on a plane one... Monday 12th - Accreditation at Partagás. Tuesday 13th - Welcome dinner at Nacional. Wednesday 14th - Day at the countryside, end of afternoon heading to Varadero and sleeping there. Dinner at the beach. Thursday 14th - Beach day. From Varadero to Cayo Blanco and in the end of the day back to Havana. Friday 16th - Gala dinner at Habana Libre. 1
Drguano Posted October 8, 2018 Posted October 8, 2018 Agnes and I arrive on the 12th (I may try to Gretchen there earlier) and are there until the 18th. we look a lot like this... 1
Corylax18 Posted October 8, 2018 Posted October 8, 2018 If anybody else is interested in joining us for the trip out to the Prieto Finca on Sunday November 11th, let me know by this coming Wednesday Oct. 10th. (Thursday the 11th Aussie time) The plan is to load up the Van in Havana and leave by 9am. About 2 1/2 hours out to the farm, Lunch shortly after we arrive followed by a few hours of cigars, drinks, relaxing and checking out the sites. Departure from the farm around 3 or 330 should leave us enough time to shower up and have dinner back in Havana. Right now we still have 6 spots open in a 12 person van. 1

That's 6 slots full and 6 left if anybody is still interested.

You do look a lot like that though the jackets are gone and mojitos in place of the stout! Look forward to seeing the two of you again, and everyone else that makes it! Kelly says hi.

So... we will want to set something up for later in the week that does not conflict with FOH or Partagas events. Thursday the 15th seems like a sound bet. Anyone else be interested in putting together a second small trip to Prieto and going with us? If someone has advice/can help arrange (I do not not the folks there), please PM me or write back here We are also going to want to do a factory tour one day, ideally EL. Again, help is appreciated with this! I might be able to help with the HLP tour (we'll definitely let them know another group is planning to head that way) I'll also confirm the best email address to reach out to them at. I can't help with EL though. Everybody and their mother wants to get into EL during the festival week, so even if you "know somebody" its still no guarantee. To my knowledge, La Corona is till running public tours. Not as nice as a private tour, but still enjoyable. 1
Corylax18 Posted October 10, 2018 Posted October 10, 2018 If anybody else is interested in joining us on the HLP farm trip on Sunday the 11th, let me know in the next 1-2 hrs. I'll be reaching out to my contacts when I get home from work tonight.

Isaac Posted October 11, 2018 Posted October 11, 2018 Im going to be heading out there and would love an attempted meetup. Not sure what the group has planned, but if at all possible, I will be there one of the days.

madandana Posted October 14, 2018 Posted October 14, 2018 Here’s a few pictures of Dana and I. Looking forward to catching up with old friends and meeting new. Please excuse the orange hats. We met the Aperol girl at our favorite rooftop bar in Nice and couldn’t resist. After all, Aperol is what make a Negroni a Negroni ? 1 1

Ethernut Posted October 15, 2018 Posted October 15, 2018 I will be there the 8th-13th looking forward to seeing the Aussies once more along with a few Americans, Brits and Canadians (hell, maybe even a German). Will be attending some of the unofficial events with the FOH crew. @El Presidente you should totally do another blind tasting, those are always fun on a long lunch day. I have it on good authority that Armando Perez will be there as well! Looking forward to having a habano with him also!
