I've never heard anything about Cubans containing "weed", so I don't think that's a problem. You realize, of course, that Cubans are illegal to possess by an American. You might want to be discreet about having them around your superiors. That being said, your superiors probably have a stash of their own!

Vegas Robaina very "mild"???

Not weed - but there is talk that the one thing Cuban cigars have a fair amount of is Lithium. Apparently, Cuban soil is rich with it... Not sure if it's a rumor, but there is definitely something different about Cuban cigars.

Be careful you don't buy any from street vendors anywhere you go. They will be more than willing to sell you REAL "Cuban's". And if you REALLY want to know for sure - purchase the book, "An Illustrated Encyclopedia of Post Revolution Havana Cigars" by Min Ron Nee. Actual size color photos over every Cuban cigar out there - you can lay the suspected on against the one in the book and tell pretty quickly... The book is somewhere around $50, but may be a tad hard to find (well worth it, though)
