    Excellent reply, do you know the title of the documentary?

    I feel though your last point has more to do with you and I getting cigars

    I believe it was entitled, "Smoke in Your Eyes". It's a version of the Cuban cigar story, but it seems to be more of a big ad for Cuban cigars.

    If 60% of Cuban produced cigars are getting into the US and only 10% of US buyers buying Cubans, are actually getting authentic Cubans! Wow!

    That means about 18% of the current demand equals the entire current production capability of Cuba! Demand is bound to rise if the embargo is lifted too!

    That was the other interesting thing about the video - and I wish I could remember exact figures - but the persons they talked to mentioned that in their piece. Counterfeiting in other countries is being dealt with, and they feel they are pretty successful. There was concern about the counterfeiting in the US, primarily because it destroyed the impression US consumers had of their product... Very interesting indeed...
