Absolutely. Three day "Trinidadfest" is being pumped around the world. 

I can see 1000 or more people flying into London.

They will. I know people doing it. Mind boggling.

Trinidad cigars are just fantastic. But may I suggest more name generation consumer market research out of Spain or Cuba?

Which would you prefer sir, Trinidad “Vigia” or “Cabildo”?.

Gee I don’t know. But let me ask the wife.

There is something quite unsavory and tone deaf about attending lavish events like this given the state of things in Cuba, and conditions for the rollers actually making these cigars. I understand H+F has to promote their business and all, but I wouldn’t attend this if you gave me a free ticket and airfare. It’s gross.

That's my main problem as well. I can't help but think of the Cuban people struggling to eat and have basic necessities while fat cats run around in suits and white hats. I avoid pompousity at all costs. It's not real. Go to a farm and support the people.
