Picking up La Trova in Havana?

Well, in that case head for Andorra, plenty fundies and Trova there. And prices are not that far from Cuba - maybe 10-20% over ?

I have heard Andorra is the mecca for some amazing Cuban cigar finds. Any truth to this?

Sadly not any more (and it burned out years ago). BUT prices are the best outside of Cuba I believe, so for current stock (std and EL) and Andorran ER it’s great, and stocks are usually awesome.

I would still love to go. Seems like it would make for a cool visit.

I live in Miami and have been to Havana many times. Ironically, it is not a place I load up on cigars. I will typically pick up two bundles of cigars from Alex and will occasionally find something else that interests me. Most recently have had the best luck in Spain, last time I was there I must have had eight boxes stuffed into our luggage by the time we left.

Eight boxes is a small load. Last time I was in Havana, I came back with over eight boxes in my carry on alone.
