Cigars in Guatemala? Sí
I arrived in Antigua, Guatemala on Christmas Day, to the sound of fireworks (that sounded more like AK 47's) and an erupting Volcano. Having got those pleasantries out of the way, I proceeded to go out in search of puros.
It turns out that, in the small city of Antigua, there is a place called Casa de Habano. http://www.stogiefresh.com/images/CS...a_de_puros.jpg It has a decent selection of cigars from Cuba. Looked legit to me. Not that I tried one, since we all know that it is illegal for American citizens to smoke Cubans, even abroad. However, I did have this great dream. I dreamt that I bought a Vegas Robaina Robusto. I lit it (in my dream) with a Zippo lighter with a Z-plus insert that I brought over in a special Otterbox that allows you to carry the lighter legally on all domestic flights. In this dream I sat in the upstairs of this shop with my cigar, listening to music, practicing Spanish and trying out the Guatemalan beer "Gallo." Nice dream. ![]() In case you travel to a Spanish-speaking country, here's some vocabulary to know: fosforo or cerillo = match cahita de fosforos = box of matches carterita = book of matches encendedor = lighter capa = cigar wrapper (also refers to the cap of the cigar) guillotina = cutter ceniza = ash I'll keep you posted on my adventures. My best. Roughing it in Antigua, Guatemala The Doc |
