For a while I was searching for a Cuban cigar source who can offer me continuous supply. Finally!!! my dream come true. One of my colleague informed me That there is Romeo Julieta cigar festival going on in a local business hotel. I might find some Cuban cigars there. I attended many cigar festivals, gathering and every time I was disappointed. On top of that after a long work day, I wanted to get back home. On the way back when I mentioned that to my wife, she encouraged me to go. her logic was there is nothing to loose, at least I can enjoy a cigar with some aficionados. Well, I had no idea then what was waiting for me. the story gets better. When I went there, I found couple boxes of good Cuban cigars and the sells girls were trying their best to attract the guests. I was looking around and trying to find out who brought these cigars in Nicaragua. As a cigar producing country imported cigars has high tax and also can produce fake Cuban puros easily. I was walking around, checking the cigars(all genuin Cuban cigars). Suddenly, I met a girl who I knew before. She works in the steak house and sold some Padron cigars to me. the hotel has a Genuin Padron shop but the price is what a five star hotel usually offer. She came to me with a big smile and said- here you are. I was thinking of you. let me introduce you the He-Man of Cuban cigar in Nicaragua. Long story in short, This prominent local businessman recently got the license to distribute Cuban cigar in Nicaragua and Costa Rica(I have already verified it with a legitimate source). I knew his family through work but never met him in person. he is sincere, super friendly local entrepreneur who is also a huge cigar lover. This is not his core business but he wanted to do it for fun. he was very happy to meet me and introduceD me with the hotel manager and some other local government officials. I was offered the best table to share good Japanese food, drinks and cigar. I was listening to the classical Spanish song and talking about my cigar passion. Finally, I got the offer from him- my friend, whatever you need just name it but let's not talk about business rather than enjoy the event. I will call you soon. That's how I left the event. Today, I received an email from him and he asked me what am I looking for- DANG. he told me anything from Cuba plus some vintage selection. That was a shock and awe moment. I reminded myself one more time- cigar is not only a smoke but also a way to enjoy great friendship. I simply told myself, you just met He-Man the Master of the Cuban cigar. I am going to meet him soon for a smoke and let you know about my next discovery.

But I agree, you are like the Dos Equis dude.
Victoria is, at best, like Budweiser. so, nothing special there.
the other beer in Nicaragua, Taño, is at best like slightly watered down Nati Lite.
