working in the smoke shop, you'd get some numb nut no brain atleast once a week asking for cubans. I'd point to pinars. Personally, I think the big deal about cuban cigars is that they are illegal. If they weren't, they'd just be cigars. There's only a few habanos I've gone nuts and they aren't even the big popular brands. San Cristobals are still the best habano, atleast I think so.
