The Graycliff Hotel

On my way to the 2012 Habanos Festival in Havana and stopped off in Nassau to catch the early flight tomorrow. Had a great smoke and dinner at the Graycliff Hotel which is a luxurious old hotel in downtown Nassau.
Their cigars are made by the former head of the El Laguito factory in Havana and the blend is a closely held secret.... and for good reason, these cigars were delicious. Before dinner at The Humidor Restaurant (in the Hotel) I had a Grand Cru cigar which was subtle and spicy. After dinner I lit up an Espresso cigar, which had a real kick and very strong after taste of, you guessed it, coffee.
The dinner was incredible with a great appetizer / salad bar and the main course was multiple helpings of steak, chicken and other meats being sliced off a giant skewer at your table.

I decided to walk back to the Hilton from the Graycliff and although it's only about a mile away, it's in a dark and seedy part of town. If you plan the same visit, I'd strongly recommend you get a cab after the sun goes down, as some interesting "characters" start to emerge from the shadows.....
