Moneda nacional was the name of the currency in order to distinguish it in the past from CUC, which was Cuban Convertible Currency, which no longer exists.

Posts: 1Long time listener and first time caller LOL. I have been RTFF, but a lot has changed since the pandemic and currency situation in Cuba, So I was hoping to ask some questions for those with boots on the ground.
I will be going to Havana in a few months and would really like to purchase some cigars. I will be touring a few of the cigar factories as well.
1. Can I purchase cigars directly from the factory gift shop or are those types of purchases only done at LCDH (la casa del habano) stores?
2. can a mlc card be purchased in the United States (where I live) or will only be able to purchase one when I get to Cuba?
3. Can I use US dollars in the country at restaurants and other non government owned places or should I get my currency exchanged on the black market for cup or should I take euros or Canadian dollars?
4. I have heard recently that LCDH shops are only accepting non US credit cards, is this the only option currently?
5. how can purchases be made at the "duty free" store at the departure area after the x ray (also heard only non US credit cards may be used)?
In regards to the currency, a lot has changed over the last year and I would genuinely appreciate anyone that can help out.

I have no idea how many are actually female or are posting authentic photos. All will request phone recharges however obviously don't give money to anyone you have not physically met.
Also, this youtube video regarding prostitution in Havana is only 10 days old. In the comments the creator told me that it's still $30 a night.

Posts: 157Reading at your comments, thing doesn't look very bright. We'll see. I have some experience traveling around the world but I rely a lot on internet contacts and Cuba is different. So far I made few contacts on Instagram but we'll see how "productive" they will be.
So a square near Persevencia and the Malecon. Any other place where I can look around?
