I’d like to say that this report comes from sunny Havana but so far although its warm, its cloudy and raining! I’m in Havana of course for the 15th Partagas Festival with the gala dinner being held at the Habana Libre (the Havana Hilton for fans of Godfather 2 !) Some beautiful double banded cigars of various vitolas have been made for the Festival week and I’m looking forward to the auction of humidors at the gala dinner.
The Cohiba book is rumoured to be released to the LCDH shops in Havana tomorrow. I popped in to Villa Nueva for some great coffee and a Reynaldo custom blend monster sized 60 ring gauge cigar which was ….splendid. Smoked La China Ideales at Partagas LCDH with some great Cuban rum…it doesn’t get much better 🙂
Visited Eduardo Diaz Gonzales,the production manager at El Laguito ( look out for MEL codes this month!) and had a fabulous tour round the Cohiba factory which was churning out around 12000 sticks a day including plenty of Siglo VI and Siglo I today.Delighted to see that every single cigar is draw tested and quality controlled.

I’m off to the Zorra jazz club this evening where I hear a great band is playing, meeting up with friends from Canada and the UK Photos to follow 🙂
Hasta Luego
