i'm sure a central america location is fine when it's just a tourist area, just like mexico (tourist traps are ran by the cartels). I'd still rather go someplace else. Kidnappings are big. A woman i know had a buddy who went off on his own down there looking for drugs and ended up dead. There was no justice for his death.

Some people do actually vacation in some of those spots, although I

(of Indian descent) say that their dream vacation involves going to either Qatar or Bharain (I cannot remember which).

To each his own, I guess. I have just recently been to SoCal and there are some neat things to see (especially if you stay away from the big cities).
I might like to explore the area some more. Aside from that, the only
place on the list that I plan to visit again is Canada.

Without a different SIM card, your phone might not work in Canada, either.
Some US carriers have "international travel" plans that you can expect to pay
a fee for (and expect higher rates on calls), while others do not.

At least, this was true as recently as 2017.

honestly, Cuban cigars (at least the ones I've had) are over-rated.

Also, I can go ice fishing in Canada.

Yeah they are. i used to smoke cigars and we had a great cigar shop in my home town. they let us try some 'good ones' out. Not super expensive ones. they
were nothing special. i think YEARS ago, they were the good stuff.

i think most of this is in people's heads. OHHH i'm having a cuban cigar!

like i said before, it might be all in your head.

for decades, cigar experts have said a lot of cuban cigars have dropped in quality for several reasons. I think part of it is over manufacturing of cigars and planting tobacco in poor areas. for some time they dropped some traditional methods in their processes so they can output more and do it a lot cheaper. There's even been issues apparently with overfilling of cigars.

I'm not a cigar expert;and i've quit smoking everything since i was 28, but I've heard and read about cuban cigar issues for quite some time.

Yes. I've been to Havana a few times, and well, that was good enough for me. I do daily town visits from time to time, but the beach is what I want these days. :-) I get what your saying though.

I used to smoke cigars a lot more than I do now. I think it's been a couple years at least since I've had one.

Generally I'll grab a half dozen or so from the cigar shop if I'm going up nort' for a week, but I haven't spent more than a weekend at the cottage the last couple years.

Hopefully this summer that will change.

Interesting. I don't normally smoke. Throat cancer a couple years ago solved my 50 year smoking habit. I STILL get a few smaller cigars when I go to Cuba each year, so I can have a 'smoke' with my Ron (rum) down by the ocean in the evening. Strange huh?

I'm more of a pipe smoker, used to live next to a pub jokingly referred
to as a "discussion salon". They sold beer, wine, tobacco, and had 2
smoking porches (and smoking was allowed inside back in the '90s.)

https://www.sfchronicle.com/food/article/The-story-of-the-Albany-pub-where-time-stands-12917018.php

I still have a collection of a dozen pipes, another 2 dozen that
belonged to my father that I need to put on eBay, and a tupperware
container full of tobaccos. I don't like smoking around the kids but now
that I'm working from home I can slip out and have a bowl occasionally.
