Cuba, Cigars, Memories inside a humidor. Some words up in Smoke.

Its been just over a year now since I traveled to Santiago De Cuba. I remember it was a fantastic trip taken with six incredible friends, by the end of the week the echo of the “Group of Seven” could be heard lightly in the whispers of locals and the ocean breeze.

We soaked up as much of the culture we could in the little time we had. Walking around amongst all the locales taking in the sounds and smells of this majestic city.

More often awe stuck then not by all the historical buildings, vintage cars, cobble stone roads, colorful lively markets, mountain scape's that once helped hide Fidel Castro and Che Guevara's guerrilla army, large water passages and old ports. Truly magnificent.

We tasted with much delight the fresh locally grow foods, organic coffee's, highly acclaimed sugar cane rums while enjoying exceptionally fine cigars of many variety's like Montecristo, Bolivar, Cohiba or some mini Quintero's to name a few.


Even tho a year has passed I can still enjoy some pleasures of Cuba. With 7 people filled to the limits in the airport you better believe we're still enjoying ourselves.

I can go to my humidor thats maintained to a constant 70% humidity and take that trip again.
With all our cigars coming back to a colder dry climate we had to act quick and do some serious research. You'll find hundreds of sites giving bits of information. I happened to come across a exceptional website that literally tells you everything you need to know about humidors and storing cigars.

To who appreciates knowledge and a quality cigar here you are - http://www.humidor-guide.com/

Thank you for reading, enjoy from here.

Cheers to the Group of Seven.
