| Cuban cigars are well-known around the world. Even non-smokers from remote countries have a notion about the high quality of these cigars. Cuban cigars are rolled from leaves of tobacco, and their production is under control of the Cuban government. According to numerous cigar specialists around the world Cuban cigar manufacturers are reputed to be the most professional on the planet. You've probably heard about such popular brands as Montecristos or Coronas Especiales. The last one is considered to be Fidel Castro's favorite brand. Apart from these cigar producers there are lots of other sorts of the same level of quality.
A big regret for all cigar-lovers in the United States was, and still is, a trade embargo imposed by President Kennedy in 1962. The interdiction to import Cuban products, cigars included, to the country is in force today as well. But as a matter of fact, there's a chance to bring up to 2 boxes for the personal use from any other country and from licensed visits to Cuba as well.
In spite of all the difficulties, there are lots of offers for Cuban cigars in the US. Still, you have to be very attentive, because there's an opinion among experts that about 95 per cent of so-called "Cuban" cigars sold in the States are counterfeit. What is more, a lot of Cuban refugees living in the US manufacture cigars and refer to them as “Cuban” because they are made by Cubans. As far as you understand, these cigars are not original ones, so their quality leaves much to be desired.
In the majority of situations you will be able to discover a fake at once, as non-original Cuban cigars are of poor quality and they don't look like original ones. But recently there has been an increase in production of Cuban cigar imitations that are difficult to discover.
In fact, the only way to get original Cuban cigars of the highest quality is to find a reliable dealer. Online Cuban cigars stores enjoy great popularity nowadays. In such shops you can get original Cuban cigar products from various producers. So as to ascertain that the online store you're going to buy cigars from is reliable, do some Google search and ask people you trust. |
