One of my co-workers who travels a lot says the Dominican ones are actually better now because Castro's screwed up the cigar industry like everything else.

Yeah, my theory is that ever since cigars got popular, Fidel has been holding back the good tobacco and exporting the Grade B trash - which is still as good as any Honduran or Dominican stogie. I've also heard from a FReeper in South America, that the quality control of Cubans are awful. Except for one obscure brand.
