Popular Post CopperHeaD Posted March 4, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted March 4, 2017 Very excited to have had these two Hotel Nacional ashtrays back from Cuba by my Brother in Law! Been wanting one since having seen one on the forum! I know Pharmacovigilant has had the same desire....Think he's gonna enjoy that beautiful gray one! Ash it up, Brother! 22 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seattledude Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 Where did he find them? I had friend just came back couple of days ago and he tried to buy one but there wasn't any for sale. Is it because of festival or they don't sell them any longer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
planetary Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 I think you need to talk to Guido, around the back. Tell him you were sent by Jersey Moe. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
83Nation Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 Great find! I didn't see any for sale at the Hotel either though, Obviously wasn't talking to the right amigos! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Pharmacovigilant Posted March 5, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted March 5, 2017 Thank you Brother!! Didn't see this one coming... Bomb outta nowhere! (and a heavy one at that). Jaw still hurts from hitting the floor, and yes I've been coveting one of these for a long, long time. I will treasure it always. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boopdeep Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 I picked up a larger version of the gray one pictured above late last week. By earlier this week, there was only a variety of the smaller ones, but they had a number of different designs, including the two pictured. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He went to the Hotel Nacional giftshop and there they were, just as I hoped they would be! This plan has been in the works since Autumn. Was also going to have him seek a box of BCGs for me but thankfully, El Presidente posted them on 24:24 and we scored a box there! The BIL had just these to grab for me, if he could. I was fortunate that they had them....have heard that there are periods when they don't have them...sold out! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a result, I was able to have one too. If only one could come back, that was yours. I'd just wait till the next time he was to go down, next year!

Looks like boopdeep bought one and I bought two....might've just caught a time where we largely bought them out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe someday I will be able to have a privilege to own one. Truth is, they're actually even nicer in person. Great weight. Obviously hand honed/etched. Imperfect in a nice human-made way. I do feel privileged to own it....coveted these and was fortunate to have a BIL who travels to Cuba about annually. To learn that Pharmacovigilant had the same desire was a surprise...shouldn't have been. He's my partner, having split a bunch of boxes! The least I could do was to make it happen, if possible! Have faith....you'll find a way to make it happen! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrusso14 Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 I missed getting one on my trip. Nice man told me they would "be in tomorrow between 9 & 1". Of course my flight was at 10am the next day so never got to see if he was telling me the truth or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boopdeep Posted March 7, 2017 Share Posted March 7, 2017 12 hours ago, SenorPerfecto said: These are available at the Concierge counter (souvenirs) at the Nacional for 20 CUC. There are a few models but these are the medium sized version of the classic ashtray. I bought the exact same selection of two -- pink and gray. Not huge, but also light enough to drag around Cuba for a week! The concierge counter had about a dozen different types of the ones pictured in the original post for 20 CUC. The next size up were 31 CUC, and I only saw one of these while there, and I bought it! They sell larger ones as well, but did not have any in stock while I was visiting late-February.

torsion Posted March 7, 2017 Share Posted March 7, 2017 I didn't search hard enough - was meant to get one but merely glanced when I was there. Saw the small ones but not the larger...maybe next time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post MaxG Posted March 14, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted March 14, 2017 I've been wanting one of these for a long time. My wife wanted to get me one for Christmas, but I just couldn't find a source. Until now! 1,000 thank-yous to my awesome BOTL @dshapiro who picked up one for me a few weeks ago!

investandprosper Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 Looks like a pair of these popped up on a certain online humidor if anyone is still looking. I'm not sure what the retail is on these, but they're asking $110 each. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
