Cuban Embargo

[prophetic_joe]

They actually started talking about this on the Dogwatch the other day. The consensus there was that since all cuban cigars are actually owned by the cuban government they don't believe they will actually sell just tobacco anywhere. I would thing this is actually a pretty good reason considering the lower amount of quality control that cuba has as far as their smokes go. I wouldn't doubt that if Fuente got there hands on some cuban tobacco and started creating blends with it that it would take away some of the sales from Cuban Puros, the cuban government most likely doesn't ig that idea a whole bunch.

Yeah - but not all of the cuban tobacco is put into cigars rolled in Cuba. There is still a certain portion that is shipped out at raw tobacco.

And I think, given a significant monetary incentive, the Cuban government will do whatever the big companies want to do...



BTW - Ya buncha goofy Canucks - when is someone going to tell me what the $2 coin is called??? Inquiring minds wanna know!!!

You can get Cuban/Honduran blended cigars and loose cuban leaf (for your own blends I guess) from. Oops, no discussion of sources. Lets just say www.dong...
