Reprobates in Habana... FOH - Cuba Trip Update 11/2018

[Ethernut]

Over a cigar and conversation that would violate just about every sanctified rule in the forum (yes, yes.. even @Ken Gargett‘s historically succinct thoughts on personal firearms were mentioned....briefly) (we love ya Kenny!) @El Presidente asked that I do a little update post...  

A couple days under the belt now and the wear is already starting to show. If you’ve never been with this crew in Cuba, they sprint like a pack of 16-year-olds at a co-ed lock-in. You cannot keep up..

What you’re young you say? ..And partied at a fraternity that over imbibed sometimes? You’re still too old. They’re professionals.

What? Go to bed at 4am? Hell no.. just stay up.. and. Keep. Rolling. 

Yesterday a late lunch meal at La Terraza @ Prado 309, great conversation, and better cigars with some of Havana’s own elite persona’s present, the sprinters relaxed, some with dead eyes and placid faces, nourishing from the previous night on a diet of pork, fish, lamb, seafood, wine, and mainlined nicotine represented by a mish mash / ramshackle display of some of the best cigars on the planet.

The coup de gras finishing move? An amazing Muscat.. That was HoLeeCrap good. Liquid raisins for days with a finish as long as flight from Brizzy to L.A.. A good time to be had by all and to next the quality cigar bar a few blocks down the waddling began.

 

Now at the Hotel Packard for cervesa and habanos.. (my 5th habano of the day)

The forum violating covo began as we solved the earths cultural and ideological differences. Somewhere between proposed solutions for nanny states and the natural core differences between father and son (experience vs inexperience - for you Ben) on topics of the artistic freedom, water polo, horses swimming and photographic consent, we managed to confuse our waitress holding a tray of 3 beers and fancy beer glasses who tripped sending the whole lot to the tile faux-wood floor.. cause and effect.  What happened? As my Dad would say, a melluva hess. Just about the time the small army of hotel workers sopped up the glass bits and beer, we were able to muster this photo.. what a bunch of tossers....

All is well with the Lads. Love specifically sent to @WarriorPrincess and Lisa from Rob.

...from Havana..
