Even those rolled with Domincan tobacco?

To my knowledge, and historically, no/zero Cuban Brand Cigars are rolled using tobaccos from any other country. In fact, unless their laws have changed, Cuba does not even allow for the importation of bulk tobacco leaf from any country. They do allow for the importation of pre-rolled cigarettes.

You are correct, unless you follow some of the conspiracy theories, rumors that Cuba dose indeed import tobacco to keep up with demand. Who would know if half of the tobacco rolled into Upmanns and RyJ machine made cigars were made with Dominican leaf? Would you know? I sure couldn't tell.

Our government breaks its own laws, all governments break their own laws. Is Cuba any better?
