The Duke of Havana: Baseball, Cuba, and the Search for the American DreamThe Duke of Havana is the inside story of Orlando "El Duque" Hernandez, fallen hero of the Cuban revolution. Banned by the Castro government for plotting to defect and shunned by Cuban society, the finest pitcher in Cuba's history fearlessly turned his internal exile into a political crusade. He ultimately escaped his country in a twenty four foot boat and, nine months later, triumphed in the World Series with the New York Yankees. Present throughout
The Duke of Havana is the inside story of Orlando "El Duque" Hernandez, fallen hero of the Cuban revolution. Banned by the Castro government for plotting to defect and shunned by Cuban society, the finest pitcher in Cuba's history fearlessly turned his internal exile into a political crusade. He ultimately escaped his country in a twenty-four-foot boat and, nine months later, triumphed in the World Series with the New York Yankees. Present throughout his story are the immensely talented Cuban players whose lives reflect the slow death of Cuban socialism. Also present is the Castro-hating Miami-based sports agent Joe Cubas, whose audacious, secret plots have transformed him into a major political figure in the Cuban exile community's relentless war to topple Castro. These personal stories illuminate the rising political and social tensions in Cuba, the growing status of the Catholic Church in the country's affairs, major league baseball's astonishingly corrupt system for recruiting players, its systematic violation of the U.S. trade embargo against Cuba, and the historic role of baseball in U.S.-Cuba relations. Reported in the United States and Cuba by two award-winning journalists who became part of the story they were reporting, The Duke of Havana is a riveting story of sports, politics, and greed.Binding Type: Paperback

Rich, masculine, woody experience that differs from most body washes
This soap is almost meditative. Rich Woody, smoky, deep experience. Masculine. Not overly fresh, but extremely pleasant. This lathers and cleans better than most soaps. I’ve tried. I use a lot of Cremo brand products. Their soaps sud well and feel great. This one really caught me by surprise on how much I enjoyed it. If you’re tired of the normal synthetic body wash smells, give this a try.

Smells great, lasts forever
Frankly I think it’s the best body wash in existence. Smells great and a single pump is all you need so it lasts forever

Elevates my shower routine—luxury scent without the luxury price
I’ve been using the Cremo Palo Santo body wash for a few weeks now, and I’m genuinely impressed. The scent is rich and complex—bright cardamom, dry papyrus, and aromatic palo santo blend together to create a fragrance that’s both grounding and refreshing. It’s like a spa experience in your own shower.
The formula lathers up beautifully, turning into a creamy foam that feels moisturizing without being greasy. My skin feels clean and soft afterward, not tight or dry. I appreciate that it’s designed for all skin types, and I haven’t experienced any irritation.
What really stands out is the longevity of the scent. It lingers subtly on the skin, and I’ve even noticed it on my clothes the next day. It’s not overpowering, just a pleasant, masculine aroma that makes me feel put-together.
For the price, this body wash offers a premium experience. It’s a great way to elevate your daily routine without splurging on high-end brands. I’ll definitely be repurchasing and exploring other scents in Cremo’s Reserve Collection.
