Cuba Libre, Part One

from The Elmore Leonard Podcast

From the bowels of Morro Prison on Havana Bay, Alex and Judd dive deep into CUBA LIBRE, Elmore Leonard's masterful epic set at the height of tensions that led to The Spanish American War. In Part 1 they enjoy fine cigars, sort out whether it's better to be a fop or a dandy, all while trying to avoid being hacked to pieces by machetes.
