The forbidden and sometimes elusive, often misunderstood prized export from the small island nation south of Miami, the Cuban cigar. The Cuban cigar is by far the most talked about stick, by regular and casual smokers alike, the holy grail of all cigars.
Because of the tired U.S. embargo against Cuba, you can’t just stroll over to your local tobacconist and grab a box; but not to worry…there are amazing choices of non-cuban cigars from lots of places (Dominican Republic, Nicaragua, Honduras, Mexico, etc) some just as flavorful and well made as their Cuban counter parts.
My suggestion; don’t be afraid to try different cigars from different countries, that way…if one day you’re lucky enough to procure one of those Cuban beauties, you’ll have something to judge them against, and know if it’s right for your smoking pallet. Happy hunting !
