The first Cuban cigar I ever smoked was a Guantanamera - which left me wondering what the big deal was with Cuban cigars. I'm glad I did not stop there...

I can't imagine any Cuban cigar that's worse - with the exception of some of those cigars that are sold to tourists on the streets throughout the Caribbean. Those glass top Cohiba's are to die for,,,
