Cuba trip pictures from last week

[php007]

I really didn't realize how lucky I was and how special this trip was until I read the sad news last Saturday. I had teh honor of meeting all three genarations of Robaina's. When I gave his grandson an Opus X hat he told me that they have a meeting with the Fuentes in November. This meeting could really turn in to some interesting blends.

Here is a link to my photobucket account which has 900 pics of the trip and if you want to see beach pics start from the last and move forward.

That VIP room is just.. drool!

I can only imagine the knowledge of tobacco that Don Alejandro has over his life time.

He has forgotten more about tobacco then I will ever know.

I hope he rests in peace.

Great pics. Thanks for sharing. We have many friends in the western part of the island so I hope people continue to visit there.

We have just learned that they are about to relocate production from Partagas factory to a new, more modern facility. No word yet, on what will become of the tours and the LCDH inside the building.

Cheers
