El Presidente Posted May 23, 2021 Posted May 23, 2021 Let's start by saying.....not exclusively Cuba Cuba is low hanging fruit when it comes to arranging a week away. Let's expand the horizons. Ken was thinking of a rum and cigar tour 10 Days. I was thinking of kicking it off in Tampa .....home of the worlds greatest gridiron team....and historical centre of cigars in the USA. Now Ken and I both have our ideas but I would love members in the region to flesh out some suggestions where we finish up in Cuba. Countries/Cities/Hotels/Bars/Restaurants......nothing off limits in this discussion. Over to you 4

Artin Posted May 24, 2021 Posted May 24, 2021 Tampa -> Jamaica -> Cuba ? 2 nights, 4 nights, 4 nights will be coolSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Glass Half Full Posted May 24, 2021 Posted May 24, 2021 When it comes to Rum, there are some beauties in Panama (Don Pancho) and some specialty rums only available in Jamaica (The Edwin Charley), both spectacular. Would welcome a trip to sample both of those with some wonderful cigars.

Artin Posted May 24, 2021 Posted May 24, 2021 Looks like Panama has a bunch of nonstop flights to Havana which is a plusSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Always a good flight. Panama city is a ton of fun as well.
NW_Oregon Posted May 24, 2021 Posted May 24, 2021 Maybe not a cigar mecca, but Porto Rico is a blast, and the rums pretty good.
ChangBang Posted May 24, 2021 Posted May 24, 2021 Booze and cigar cruise stopping at jamaica, cuba, and wherever else sounds fun in the Caribbean? Whenever cruises are back, then you can probably just see where else they stop, and choose the cruise that stops that the places you'd be interested in?

Habana Mike Posted May 24, 2021 Posted May 24, 2021 If also a rum tour, Guyana, Barbados or both a must. Cigars, aside from Cuba I'd suggest visiting Colin in Nicaragua as a change of pace and some Twin Engine coffee along with. Carlito if you want to hit the DR. Has to conclude in Cuba for the best of all. Renting a cruise ship? 1

El Presidente Posted May 25, 2021 Author Posted May 25, 2021 I do like the idea of "trip 1" Miami - Barbados - Panama - Havana 2
ChanceSchmerr Posted May 25, 2021 Posted May 25, 2021 Trinidad rum is underrated IMO, very fond memories of Angostura rum and a Shark n' bake on Maracas Bay - a perfect beach for a cigar! Angostura 1919 is my favorite but who could forget Puncheon Rum - 'not less than 75% alcohol' 😂😂😂. My kind of guarantee! But Barbados is the rum king of islands. Foursquare is a must!
