Havana cigars

Havana cigars are on a league of it's own. The tobacco produced here has been unsuccessfully imitated by other countries and cigar producers. The fertile red earth of Vuelta Abajo is said to be responsible for making Cuban cigars so special. Whatever the reason, whoever grows a liking for Havana cigars will find no replacements, their taste is unlike no other. With international brands recognized throughout the world like Bolivar, Cuaba, Diplomaticos, El Rey del Mundo, Fonseca, H. Upmann, Hoyo de Monterrey, Juan Lopez, La Gloria, Montecristo, Partagas, Larrañaga, Punch, Quai d'Orsay, Rafael Gonzales, Ramon Allones, Romeo y Julieta, San Cristobal, Saint Luis rey, Sancho Panza, Trinidad, Vegas Robaina and Vegueros. They are some of the finest ever made. Of course, there is also Cohiba, the cigar that receives the best products of all the tobacco plantations throughout the island, the best rollers are found working here and the highest international methods for quality control are applied. The result is the best cigar in the world.

Havana cigars are hand made by experts, so much of the taste is affected by the way a cigar is produced and wrapped that much care is taken to offer only the best product possible. Cubans rollers are proud people and give their best when they are in the production line.

It's no wonder Cohiba and the main Havana brands are constantly imitated and forged. It's said that 95% of all alleged Havana cigars in the US is fake. The Cuban government has taken action to solve this and has placed so many security measures in the boxes that you might think there's money inside. The paper seal has now a new image, the color has change to dark green, also it has micro writing in it, only visible through a potent magnifying glass. Serial numbers change colors when exposed to infrared light, while serial letters look red, numbers become black. The seal of arms of the Cuban republic also appears in infrared light. The famous Nivel Acuso has been substituted with new codes. But I bet it's only a matter of time for forgeries of this new codes to appear.

The main exporters of Havana cigars are Spain, France, England and Chile. Here the best prices are found. If you plan to buy Havana cigars, do it through one of the authorized distributors. These distributors will seal the boxes with their own security bands, Canadian shipments are totally wrapped in a thin plastic seal that will break when opened. This will help assure you are getting the real stuff.

US citizens can't have Havana Cigars by orders of the American government.
