Tourists are often offered cigars by
individuals on the street. Here it was just next to the tobacco
factory. The price for e.g. box of Cohiba Esplendidos is about e.g. 50
usd/cus, real bargain. But one never knows if they are originals (that
oficially sell even in Cuba for 600 usd/cuc for box) stolen from state
factory or better of worse imitations. But it is worth to try if for
such price. Anyway in local cuban half empty shops, one can buy local
paper box of 25 smaller cigars that Cubans smoke for about 1 usd/cuc
per box - this is possibly the best bargain for cigars one can get
anywhere in the world.

In the park with ice cream stalls where
the movie Strawbery and Chocolate started. Cubans needed to wait in
queues even even just to get to the park (and then another for the ice
cream).
|

|

|
Foreigners could buy overpriced and not
very good icecream without queues of course. Although there is poster
for movie Fresa y Chocolate visible here, they did not have strawbery
ice cream (that gays used to take in that famous movie).
|
This waiter looks a bit like young
Sylvester Stalone. Would he take strawbery or chocolate ice cream?
