I'd love to go sometime. The brother of one of the salesguys I deal with goes there a few times a year as a writer for a Cigar magazine. I;''ve been buggin him to get his brither to find me some chips. After 5 years....still nada!
My understanding is there are quite a few resorts in Cuba that european, and Canadian travelers go to as a Caribbean vacation location. Maybe someday the US trade embargo will be lifted. I hope it's in my lifetime. I know it won't be during Fidel Castro's lifetime.
Spraking of sad living conditions....take a visit to the west side of the island of Espanola. East side (Dominican Republic) is mixed, but the west side (Haiti) is, for lack of a better word; squaller! I'm sure you experienced plenty of the same in Cuba.
