Cuban Cigars

Cuban cigars on display in a shop window. Those cigars are rolled from tobacco leaves found throughout the country of Cuba. The filler, binder, and wrapper may come from different portions of the island. All cigar production in Cuba is controlled by the Cuban government, and each brand may be rolled in several different factories in Cuba. Cuba produces both handmade and machine-made cigars. All boxes and labels are marked Hecho en Cuba (Spanish for made in Cuba). Machine-bunched cigars finished by hand add Hecho a mano, while fully handmade cigars say Totalmente a mano in script text, though not all Cuban cigars will include this statement. Because of the perceived status of Cuban cigars, counterfeits are somewhat commonplace. Despite American trade sanctions against Cuban products, cigars remain one of the country's leading exports. Since the United States has removed import limits on Cuban tobacco and alcohol, all travelers can bring home an unlimited supply of the rhum and cigars. On Saturday, 1 December 2016, in Havana, Cuba.
