Drone pic?  What size generator do you use, and do you run the A/C etc?

I suspect Cubans are akin to Coors beer back in the day.

Not a drone, I just climbed to the top of the dunes and snapped the pic.

The genny is a 3500W, it runs the A/C, two refrigerators, and pretty much everything else just fine.  It has been known to trip the breaker if you try to run the microwave while the A/C is on-- so we don't do that.  I also usually switch the interior fridge over to propane if I'm running the genset during the summer, just to decrease the load demand a little bit and get longer runtimes out of the gas tank.  It'll run around 8 hours at full load on around 2 gallons of gas.

Well, you can't drive a Trans Am and an 18-wheeler halfway to Cuba to pick some up, so of course they're not the same!

I'm not a cigar maven, but have had a few in my day, had some Cubans on a cruise, and some from DR, which I was told were better anyway.  They all left a bad taste in my mouth.  I think a lot of the allure is that some is not readily obtainable.  It's like Screaming Eagle wine, I've never had it, folks who have tell me it's good but not incredible.

2021 Screaming Eagle, Sauvignon Blanc, Oakville, Bottle (750ml) – Grand Cru Liquid Assets

$2325 per bottle, of sau blanc.

Smoked a couple of real Cubans in Honduras.  Not getting real Cubans in Mexico.  All fake.  There is a website where you can scan the barcode on the Cuban seal to see if they are real.

If you get a fake Cuban and like it for the price, is that bad?
