    80 Senses #73… Tobacco & cedar, Havana

     

    The vibrant capital of Cuba is every bit as fun it appears, fuelled by a strict diet of rum, salsa and cigars. Speaking of the latter, this year saw the disappointing but hopefully temporary closure of Havana’s cigar factories to tourists. This was always a highlight of a stay in the capital, but until the situation is resolved, we have a solution.

    At the appropriately named Humidor Bar in the Conde de Villanueva hotel you can see a professional cigar roller in action, and marvel at the dexterity that makes a highly skilled process look preposterously easy.

    I’ve wanted to go to Cuba before Castro dies and it changes too much, and I am glad I did…
