Here is all you need to know about Cuban cigars: a brand-by-brand discussion of the manufacturers, as well as frank assessments of current products; the island’s tumultuous history; the industry’s evolution from small-time farming through Castro’s collectivization; and the labor and workmanship that go into both agriculture and manufacturing.
There is no cigar more premium than a Cuban. With world attention once again focused on Cuba, speculation abounds about the future of one of Communism’s last strongholds-and about the possibility of normalization in the coming years, perhaps allowing American smokers to enjoy habanos legally for the first time since 1962.
