The 2016 Limited Editions from Habanos S.A. are here but the most significant aspect of this news is that for the first time in over half a century Americans can purchase them, for the first time we are not limited by the amount we can buy, and for the first time we can go to Cuba with little or no restrictions. I have smoked many Cuban cigars and have published many reviews and pairings of Cuban cigars and Cuban rum but there is nothing like visiting the island and experiencing the people that produce these wonderful pairing partners. A proud people with a rich history that have persevered oppression on a level that would've broken the backs of many.
Last Friday I had the pleasure of entertaining a friend as we painted the town red with our wives. Wonderful dinner, hand crafted cigars, and artisan cocktails from Jimenez tobacco. After the fun we said goodbye; they were on the way to the airport to catch a flight to Cuba. The world is changing and this cigar connoisseur is willing to change with it. See you in Havana.
