| Cuban cigars enjoy great popularity around the world. Even non-smokers from remote countries have a notion about the high quality of these cigars. Cuban cigars are rolled from tobacco, and their manufacture is controlled by the Cuban government. In the judgment of numerous cigar experts throughout the world cigar producers from Cuba are reputed to be the best on the globe. You've probably heard about such widespread brands as Montecristos or Coronas Especiales that is rumored to be one of Fidel Castro's favorite brands. Besides these cigar producers there are a lot of other sorts of the same quality.
A big disappointment for every cigar-lover in the United States was a trade embargo imposed by President Kennedy in 1962. The prohibition to import production of Cuban origin, including cigars, to the state is currently in force as well. Actually, there's a possibility to bring up to two boxes for personal use from any other country and from licensed visits to Cuba as well.
Despite all the difficulties, there are lots of offers for Cuban cigars in the USA. Nevertheless, you have to be very attentive, since there is an opinion among experts that around 95 per cent of so-called Cuban cigars sold throughout the US are forged. What is more, lots of Cuban refugees living in the United States manufacture cigars and call them “Cuban” since they are made by Cubans. As you see, these cigars are not original ones, so their quality is questionable.
In most situations you will be able to find out an imitation at once, as non-original Cuban cigars are of poor quality and they do not look like real ones. But nevertheless, recently there has been an increase in production of Cuban cigar imitations that are difficult to discover.
As a matter of fact, the only way to get original Cuban cigars of the highest quality is to find a reputable and reliable dealer. On-line Cuban cigars shops enjoy great popularity nowadays. In such shops you may buy original Cuban cigar products from various producers. So as to make sure that the online shop you are planning to purchase cigars from is reliable, do some Google search and ask people you trust. |
