As the weather gets warmer here in the US, my mind is constantly on the subject of cigars. This series, and the rest of your videos, only make the distraction stronger, while satisfying that part of my brain at the same time. Thank you, Kirby, for bringing us with you on your pilgrimage to Cuba. The content is immaculate as always.

As Cuban myself living abroad, I'm fascinating to see this bunch of "crazy people" (I mean it in a good way) gathering together to celebrate cigars. You can tell they truly love the thing 😊. This brings me so much memories from my childhood because my grandfather used to smoke cigars and I hated the smell. Now that his gone and some people around that memory too, I look at cigars with nostalgia!
@kirbyallison7 ай бұрын
I hope one day my children and grandchildren say the same! They are currently in the same “hate the smell” stage as my wife has been for the past 14 years. However, I remain nostalgia. No rush on my part, though.

I left home very young and never had an active present father to teach me how to be a gentleman, I’m fifty one, and have learned so much from your channel and watching your talks with Edward and Eddie Sahakian. I have been fortunate enough to have been able to vacation in Cuba 2 a year since I got remarried 8 years ago (excluding during the pandemic) and have getting more and more serious about my passion for Cuban cigars and look forward to going back in March. Your recent videos and given me allot to think about regarding what cigars I will be picking up! Thank you again, and I’m looking forward to what you’ll be sharing with us this year!!

Hopefully down the road they will made them affordable again.There is no cigars that compare to a Cuban cigar the most enjoyable smoke in the world,just my opinion…Have a great 24 ,thank you for the Cuban experience,big fan from Texas

Kirby, could you, in one of your Cuba videos, give just a short blurb on some of the basics for any trip to Cuba. ie no credit cards. How/where to exchange US Cash for local money. How to pay for hotels/travel. Is English only speaking good enough to get by.
@kirbyallison7 ай бұрын
We are going to film something about this sometime soon. Reach out to Peter at @theoneandonlycuba on IG. He handles all my logistics and can help coordinate travel for you. The long-short: 1/ it’s super easy as an American to visit Cuba (actually in some ways easier than for Europeans). 2/ simply book your own flights online via American or United. You self-declare in which of the 12 allowable categories you are visiting. I normally select “support for the Cuban people.” No pre-authorizations required at all to visit Cuba for Americans. 3/ when you arrive to your gate for the flight into Havana (the last leg of connecting), you have to buy an $80 “tourist card” for Cuba to stamp at customs. 4/ You can book most all hotels online through their offices in Spain. And AirBnb is completely allowed for direct bookings (which, technically, is the most “legal” way to book accommodations. 5/ bring a lot of cash with you. Large hotels can accept American credit cards using Spanish proxies (and many are not allowed to accept cash) but everywhere else will only take cash. Unfortunately, it’s almost impossible to buy Habanos cigars here as an American. The official cigar shops do not accept any cash and cannot process American credit cards. 6/ Data roaming as an American is insanely expensive and many, many US-based websites are inaccessible because of American firewalls due to the embargo (Cuba doesn’t care - the problem is America). Download a few VPN’s to your phone and computer if you’ll need to access sites like your bank. Hotels all have WiFi. If you’re coming for a long time, bring an unlocked phone that can take a SIM card (no eSims here). 7/ You can rent cars here. I’ve just never done it yet. 8/ stay somewhere in Old Havana so you can walk to most of the touristic spots. Taxis are easy to come by at hotels and restaurants can call them for you. 9/ Re changing money, Peter has always done this for me. Official hotels will exchange at less than 50% the “street” rate. Most Taxi drivers can exchange. There is a website with the “official” street exchange rate that you could use to determine if you’re being ripped off. I can see if I can find it. Honestly, not that difficult to travel here and navigate Havana if you have a little bit of help.
