Cubans

Just checking. Like the article from Cigar Aficionado (link about 4 posts back) about the Canary Islands and them buying tobacco from Cuba and rolling it into their cigars it seems that it would be hard to control.

"The chief factor that differentiates Canary Island cigars from most others is the strong tradition of using Cuban tobacco in their blends."

They sell tobacco to be used in other cigars. Up until a couple of years ago Villager boxes has the "Contains Cuban Tobacco" blacked out for Sale in American and claimed not to use cuban tobacco only in the cigars sold in the US.

I've never had a Don Gabriel but it is my understanding that they buy cuban tobacco (filler and binder) and use a wrapper from somewhere else on their house brand.
