[QUOTE="Natch, post: 400450, member: 45"] Much of the better leaf grown around Central America and the Caribbean are from Cuban seeds, I doubt the genetics have drifted much in just a few decades. But when I was in Cuba a while back, and doing some level of research on Latin America, I believe that much of the agricultural lands have been quite abused. For a long time, Cuban cigars were one of only a few sources of hard currency, and they pushed their fields to produce heavily, relying on what some might see as over fertilization and shorter resting periods. I fear the Cubans will find stiff competition for cigars in today's international market. Natch [/QUOTE]
