Under developed socialism, stealing and black market become the means of survival.

Democracy is incompatible with central planning and interferes with Politburo’s digestive issues.

There’s tons of fake Cuban cigars out there, even (especially) in Cuba. Unless they came from an official state-run store, God only knows what’s in ‘em.

The funny taste is the result of field hands using tobacco leaves instead of Charmin.

After all the toilet paper is a product of capitalist running dogs.

Any smart cigar producer moved out long ago. I recommend you try Dominican, many of the old growers moved there.

Cuba is withering on the vine. It’s a matter of time, years before radical change is welcomed, i.e socialism and dictators to democracy and true elections.

Cuba really screwed up their tobacco industry.

For one thing tobacco really sucks the nutrients out of the ground.
When we were growing tobacco we let a field “rest” at least three years between tobacco plantings. From tobacco the field would go into clover for hay for two years. Then a year of corn then a year or two of oats.
We let our best plants top out and produce seed that we harvested for the next year.

In Cuba they didn’t rotate the crops properly, didn’t save the best plants for seed and didn’t properly amend the soil with fertilizers and lime.
Why? Because the people who knew what they were doing fled to the US.

Combine that with typical communist top down planning, communist worker indifference and the communist government need for cash NOW and you have a perfect storm for failure.

The best cigars now come from central and south America.
I know a man who speaks very highly of the cigars from Brazil. He’s given me a few and they are great but out of my price range.

I had dinner with a couple of Canadians who had gone there. They said they wouldn’t go back, that the place was basically a sh*thole. One guy told me that a local approached him on the beach, said he was starving and begged him to bring him some food from the hotel buffet.

Nah, New Orleans Is collapsing because it's in a HOLE! Not stealing beams yet, but copper pipes,wiring,appliances-yes. Christmas décor if it's sellable, lights are destroyed because crime needs darkness.

When everything on Cuba collapses it will be easy to find the rulers homes. We should have TAKEN Cuba long ago. A communist country off our coast is unacceptable.

Migrant workers that supported the revolution? What the F are you snoking? Cuba was a professional country where the middle class fought a revolution to topple a dictator only to have Castro take over and and announce he was communist after Kennedy sold Cuba out to the Rusians you dumb F.

Or can be used to build a boat...

Yep. After they went to a hotel to secretly use the Internet reserved only for guests - to download plans for boatbuilding.
