Hanging out with the locals on a hot day in Havana (Chris McGinnis)
If you’ve been reading TravelSkills this week, or following me on social media, you know that I’ve been on the first ship allowed to cruise to Cuba from the US in nearly 60 years. TravelSkills staff Jim and Kim have done an excellent job churning out the content and tips while I’ve been down here making history- many thanks to them!
I have not smoked a cigar since the night I graduated from the University of Colorado– I smoked one that made me sick, and the aversion has lasted a lifetime. But I know that there are plenty of readers out there who may treasure a fine smoke from Cuba. Want one? Then read my post Cruising into Cuba: It’s complicated and leave a comment. He or she who leaves the cleverest or most meaningful comment (as judged by me) will win this, a Montecristo Petit Tubo cigar, freshly imported, legally, from Cuba. –Chris
