Geez, Tim, nice haul!

Have you tried the Wide chruchill yet? I've been thinking about grabbing some of these when I can find them in stock.

No, I haven't tried them yet, but I keep having dreams about them, along with the Short Hoyos! I will probably crack pretty soon...... I actually picked up the fiver of Reyes so I can let the cabinet box rest for a while. I picked up a single Reyes this winter and it was so good I bought a box.

I'm in the same boat. I really enjoy the Short Churchill, so I figure I ought to try these at some point as well.

One of the members PM'd me with a request to post a photo of the single Siglo IV, for his comparison purposes. The photos aren't the best, so
i hope they help!

Just back from Cuba - lucky to have a nice couple on the same flight that were happy to help carry some back for me.

65 Customs - Yolanda, Santos, Reynaldo, Jorge Lopez (beach Club),
Behike 54's, 1966's, Hoyo Short Pyramides, 2 X royal Robusto's, 2 X RA Extra's, 10 898's, Gold Medals.

Great work on the custom rolls. I haven't got any of the Santos but SWMBO said we needed to go back to Havana

I'm already thinking about when I can go back again. More customs (Cueto and Hamlet for sure as I missed them this time) and a few of the bigger ticket items (BHK's, etc) make it worth it.

Next time I'd love to make it out to PDR and pick up some of the Robaina rolls too.

If it's not too much trouble could we get better pics of the custom rolls? I, for one, am really intrigued by the cuban custom rolls as I've never had one.

No problem, always glad to help!! I happened on your new baby in the house thread and thought you were good to go. I smoked one last night and it was a most pleasant experience. You are going to love it! Enjoy!

A few more detailed photo's.

Can anybody get these custom's? Do you have to have an "in", or just know which person to go to?

I need to go to Cuba... :disappoin

 

[Nicko]

No real "in" required. Just know which places to go.

If you are looking for something specific it's always good to try and order in advance. I really wanted to get some lancero's from Reynaldo but he didn't have any made up and a number of rollers were out of good tobacco with no sticks in stock.

I just did some research and took my chances on my first trip out there, so far I'm really happy with the few I have tried.

 

[BMack]

Thanks Nicko!!! Those look AMAZING!!! Those Reynaldos have me literally drooling, haha.
