Neighbor leaves for a week in Cuba tomorrow

I'm getting their paper, their mail, checking their sump pump plus making sure a yard boy mows their yard properly. Now they ask what I want them to bring back to me in return. Any ideas? And BTW I don't smoke.

They have a bunch of classic cars too. Mostly because they can't get anything new.

Those cars are a bunch of rust buckets. They've been piece milled together for 50 years...pgprescott said:They have a bunch of classic cars too. Mostly because they can't get anything new. -
You're right. Better go with the stogies. You can always barter them away Ron.DoubleEgger said:

My boss just went. He said you can bring back cigars and rum now. I'd vote for a little of each but since you're a non smoker I think a couple of bottles of rum should be good.

How about one of those cuban pork sandwiches?

Cuban cigars are not that great. People just wanted them because they were decent and you couldn't get them here.
Ask for some good local rum. I think it's still 1 bottle per person without having to declare it.Aledo, Texas

I've been to Cuba a dozen times, the only things worth bringing back are aged dark Rum and Cigars really, they don't have much there, its a very poor country, but the beaches and people are very nice!Toronto, Canada LBGE

I was in Cuba many years ago, Navy training. They put us in a room with oxygen breathing apparatus, filled it with tear gas, then ordered us to remove our masks. This is how they demonstrated the effectiveness of our OBA.
Ahhh, memories of Cuba!!
I have no idea what it's like outside of the Guantanamo fence, but I imagine it's like any other Caribbean island. I'd ask him to bring me back some warm sunshine.

BBQ is a celebration of culture in America. It is the closest thing we have to the wines and cheeses of Europe.
Drive a few hundred miles in any direction, and the experience changes dramatically.

Honey.

BINGO! That's exactly what they brought me. It is good, but the thing that strikes me odd is how much thinner it is compared to our domestic honey I buy produced locally. It says it is 100% natural, but it runs!GATraveller said:Honey.
BTW the neighbors said how friendly the people were, but they noticed so few people work and what ones do are young people. There is no incentive to work so people don't, but are fed and housed by the guberment! Also if someone does work they can not be fired or laid off, but the employer must find them a comparable job elsewhere, but most just end up sucking the guberment t*t.

Sounds like Cuba has a jumpstart on feeling the Bern.

Have gone to Cuba twice, lovely people. Both rum and cigars are very cheep. A good bottle of golden rum is $9.00 Cuban pesos.

Too bad I've just seen this post. I came back from Cuba Saturday night. We brought back some honey, cigars and rum. It's good that you got the glass jar because the plastic ones are giving a bad taste to the honey. Havana Club and Santiago de Cuba rums are good. I have many different bottles of each brand. This time, I've had the opportunity to taste a different brand, Vigia. If you can get your hands on a bottle, go for it; it is out of this world. We visited Habana in an old Bel Air 55 retrofitted with a Toyota Diesel engine and air conditioning.

@johnkitchens Best trip ever. We stayed at the Paradisus Varadero which is one of the two 5 stars hotels in the area. A 5 star in Cuba is a 4 star at best in my standards (and maybe 3). We usually don't care for the room because we spend all the time at the beach or in the pool. However, the air conditioning gave up and after SWMBO complained to a random guy in the lobby (who happened to be the general manager), I managed to negotiate and upgrade in the royal service section (which is an hotel within he hotel with private pool/bar/restaurant). We are kinda glad that the AC gave up because the royal service upgrade exceeded all my expectations. I'll post something tomorrow with pictures.johnkitchens said:@paqman was it a good trip?____________________Entrepreneurs are simply those who understand that there is little difference between obstacle and opportunity and are able to turn both to their advantage. •Niccolo Machiavelli
