My favourite shopping in Cuba, the cigar shops.

Did you buy sufficient stock ?  發表於 12 小時前

I did, bought about 120 pieces. Some are not commonly available in HK.
Prices in Cuba are far lower than HK even you purchase at airport's duty free shop.
Too bad, I could only bring one piece back free of tax so I left all these in BJ.

In fact, I flew back to China from Mexico after visiting Cuba.
The Custom in Mexico only allows 25 pieces.
Therefore they taxed me USD97 for the extra quantity which is about USD1 per piece. Not bad, though.

I suppose keeping the cigars in Beijing is not a bad idea at all given the low humidity throughout the year. Otherwise, you have to place them in dry cabinet in HK.

Cigars need to be maintained at 68-72% relative humidity.
Beijing is too dry while HK's summer is too wet.

Either way destroy great cigars.
And you're right, keeping them in Beijing is better because over-dry can be humidified quicker and easier, like putting them in the bathroom while having a hot bath

I have a way to keep them right both in HK and BJ and that's proven.
Some of my collection has been kept over 20 years and they are still good.

感覺上M字头檔名的相, 對比L字头的, 平均來說, 顏色都較討好, M10?

Yes, Filename with M100 is M10. L600 is M-P240.

Under same high ISO, for example, 3200 or 6400, M10 renders more "normal" colour than M-P240 does.

Left Cienfuegos for Santa Clara, a bigger and busier city.

Bumped into these family who run a bar/restaurant in front of a church.
Lovely mother and daughters...

Next door is a B&B and the owner's wife and baby.

And this couple made one of my favourite shots of this town.
