Pinar Del Rio...and nearby is the Vuelta Abajo region...they say this is where the best tobacco leaf in the world comes from...personally I think the Dominicans have caught up with the Cubans and seeing as Cuba is such a cash poor country they've been pushing production and I think (IMHO) that they've fallen off quite a bit in recent years...
