Glad you visited and had a good time... see my avatar.

Ugh, so sad to see those Fauxiba boxes sitting there... I enjoyed some LGC cigars when Ernesto controlled the company as he does some quality stuff. I haven't had one in awhile so they could be just fine now, but I don't know.

I'm glad to see the roller still there. I visited the factory 4 years ago and talked to him. I don't know spanish so my buddy was the interpreter, but the roller was such a nice guy and loosened up to us since my buddy was pretty fluent in spanish. He ended up pulling out his Cuban ID card from 50+ years ago when he got his first tobacconist license to roll cigars in Cuba. He defected to the US about 10 years ago... just for the hell of it.

Thanks for sharing.
