Free Wireless internet — just bring your laptop and sit on down. Cheap beverages (cappucino, Coke products, various beers.) Plus Cuban freakin’ cigars on offer.

Now of course I know jack about cigars, and for all I know these are the Cuban Swisher Sweets — the most expensive is about ten bucks. (They all say ‘Habana’, that’s all I recognize.)

But I’m tempted to buy one just because I know I can’t at home, a fact that the young kid behind the counter in the USA sweatshirt seemed vaguely aware of: “Yeah, I heard about that,” he said when I mentioned they were illegal in the States. Then his face got scrunchy: “Something about Fidel Castro…?”

Yeah, something like that.
