A chance to get some Cuban's.......

[craig]

Because it is tied to the US$, the CUC exchange rate to the CA$ sucks right now. $150CA will get you about 100CUC. That should get you the ERdM's in Havana, and most any brand's petit corona's. To add to the suggestions, Por Larranaga Petit Corona's will be slightly less (under 90CUC), and you might like them given the other cigars that you've listed. (I normally smoke stronger cigars.)

I suggested something slightly less expensive in case your friend is going to one of the all-inclusive resorts. The prices are a bit higher there and the selection a bit more limited, etc.

WTF dude?

Why waste your money in Cuba when you have montecristonline!!! Talk with Dr. Nacho about your needs - he offers "gratuitous shipping and advising"! He might even throw in some pico de gallo!!!

Yes - the Cana-buck sucks now - eh?
The Por Larranaga's are a thought - thanks
Friend will be at an all-in, but will travel to Varadero and Havana, so access to stores will not be an issue.

As to the other comments, the Trinidads would probably be more of an after-dinner, time to savour the flavour kind of smoke, no? And if I was so inclined - I'd probably just increase my stock of Lanceros......
