Thanks for sharing, that's great they have a smoking lounge in there now. I was there 3 years ago, the place looked a little different then... good to see the same guy rolling cigars though! My buddy and I talked to him for awhile and he defected from Cuba a few years before that. He pulled out his wallet and showed us his Cuban tobacconist license which enabled him to roll cigars in Cuba. He got it when he was 18! Very cool to talk to him and learn about his cigar rolling history. Kinda sad though they don't have as many rollers as they did just a few years ago.
Also, your picture of the outside with the Calle Ocho sign looks familiar... see my avatar.
