| Cuban cigars have gained great popularity around the world. Even non-smokers have heard about the high quality of the cigars. Cuban cigars are made from leaves of tobacco, and their production is under control of the Cuban government. According to various cigar specialists around the world Cuban cigar manufacturers are considered to be the best on the globe. You have probably heard about such popular brands like Montecristos or Coronas Especiales that is rumored to be one of Fidel Castro's favorite brands. Besides these cigar-makers there are a lot of other sorts of the same level of quality.
A big disappointment for each cigar-lover in the US was a trade embargo imposed by President Kennedy in 1962. The ban to import Cuban products, cigars included, to the state is in force today as well. Actually, there is a chance to bring up to 2 boxes for personal use from any other 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 USA. Nevertheless, you have to be very attentive, since there is an opinion among specialists that about 95 per cent of so-called "Cuban" cigars sold throughout the USA are counterfeit. What is more, a lot of Cuban refugees living in the States produce cigars and call them “Cuban” since they are made by Cubans. As far as you see, these cigars aren't original ones, so their quality is doubtful.

In such shops you can get original Cuban products from different manufacturers. In order to make sure that the on-line store you're planning to purchase cigars from is reliable, make a little investigation on it. |
