So I've read several things about how certain brands that are made both in and out of Cuba have only the brand name in common. Different tobacco, region, grower, etc. I've never smoked a Cuban. I'm wondering, are we wasting our time smoking non-cuban Montecristo, Cohiba, H. Uppman, etc.? Should we just stick to the originals or what? Also, what are the brands that never were Cuban? At least if I smoke these, I don't feel like I'm getting faked out .
