HAVANA — Call it "Eau de Revolution." Cuba's biggest producer of natural products has come up with a pair of colognes for the discerning supporter of international socialism who wants something more than just the iconic "Che" T-shirt.

A woodsy and refreshing citric scent with notes of talcum powder called "Ernesto" honors guerrilla leader Ernesto "Che" Guevara. For those seeking something softer and fruitier, there's a blend with hints of mango and papaya called "Hugo," for the late Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez.

The leftists and OWS types who might buy this 1) don’t wear cologne (except patouli oil) and 2) don’t have money to buy it anyway.

Is there really a market for a cologne that smell like rat crap?

These colognes are a must-buy for the white guy with dreadlocks on your Christmas list.

Che always looked as if he needed a bath. Chavez looked clean but just seemed like a guy that would have funky breath. I don’t see how they inspire colognes. If they ever come up with a cigar-scented “Fidel,” I might go for that.

Hugo Chavez. That would be the stench of death, and that’s the smell of communism as well.

Hai Karate, English Leather, Brut. Only in America could a 16 year old in the ‘70s afford to smell as good as a sweaty saddle, a lime lollipop or Chinese hoorhouse.

Che was a physician, believe it or not.

So is Ayman al Zawahiri, Osama's successor as head of al Qaeda.

Here he is in 1982 speaking English from Mubarak's cage: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A55lIzz8hXo

Unfortunately, Mubarak sprang him before outfitting him with a proper necktie.
