| Cuban cigars are well known throughout the world. Even non-smokers from remote lands have an idea about the high quality of the cigars. Cuban cigars are rolled from tobacco, and their manufacture is under control of the Cuban government. According to various cigar specialists around the world Cuban cigar producers are considered to be the most skilled on the globe. You've possibly heard about such popular brands as Montecristos or Coronas Especiales. The last one is rumored to be the favorite brand of Fidel Castro. Apart from these two manufacturers there are a lot of other sorts of the same quality.
A big disappointment for every cigar-lover in the USA was a trade embargo imposed by President Kennedy in 1962. The prohibition to import Cuban production, cigars included, to the state is currently in force as well. Actually, there's a chance to bring up to two boxes for personal use from another country and from licensed trips to Cuba as well.
In spite of all the difficulties, there are a lot of offers for Cuban cigars in the United States. Still, you have to be very attentive, because there is an opinion among specialists that around 95 per cent of so-called "Cuban" cigars sold in the States are counterfeit. Furthermore, a lot of Cuban refugees living in the States manufacture cigars and refer to them as “Cuban” as they are made by Cubans. As far as you understand, these cigars aren't original ones, so their quality leaves much to be desired.
In the majority of situations you will be able to discover an imitation, since non-original Cuban cigars are of poor quality and they do not look like original ones. But nevertheless, recently there has been an increase in manufacture of Cuban cigar imitations that are difficult to find out.
In fact, the only way to get original Cuban cigars of the highest quality is to find a reputable and reliable dealer. Online Cuban cigars shops enjoy high popularity at the present time. In such shops you may get original Cuban cigar products from various producers. In order to ascertain that the on-line shop you're going to buy cigars from is reliable, do some Google search and ask people you trust. |
