Let's explore Cienfuegos Cuba


Recommended Posts

We visited Cienfuegos via cruise ship for a 2 day stop before heading to Havana. We really enjoyed it. It was so different than Havana.

Our first stop there was the LCDH and it was magnificent and well stocked. It had a colonial feeling, two stories, lots of dark wood with an open atrium.  They had amazing stock... lots of HTF cigars; Talisman's and BHK's, cigars with age. As discovered a few days later none of those were available in Havana. They did not have a roller. 

They were very glad to see us and very accommodating. They sent us to a Paladar for an excellent and really inexpensive meal. Unfortunately I didn't take notes and can't remember the name.

The way the city is laid out it's easy to walk the whole thing... no cabs needed. I think two days there would be enough.

Beautiful city - been lucky in visiting it a few times and I love the city.

From my Blog :

"A city that, to me, came to represent the image of what I had always thought Cuba to be – beautiful neo-classical architecture in a well preserved historical centre, sleepy tranquillity, pretty boulevards, an inviting Malecon seaside promenade full of beautiful houses, a perfect bay, no wonder the city was called “Pearl of the South” during colonial times."

It is a beautiful store and I agree.  The staff are actually excited when people come in who are interested in cigars.
