Cigars, Mmm

My son smokes cigars. He liked one that I picked up in Santo Domingo. I understand that the tobacco and the leaves are the same as the Cubans but they are wrapped in Santo Domingo (at least that's what they told me--maybe I was conned.).

Wikipedia says: "[M]any former Cuban cigar manufacturers moved to other countries (primarily the Dominican Republic) to continue production.[citation needed] Dominican Republic's production of tobacco grew significantly as a result.[citation needed] After reallocation, most Cuban manufacturers continued to use their known company name, seed, and harvesting technique while Cubatabaco, Cuba's state tobacco monopoly after the Revolution, independently continued production of cigars using the former private company names.[citation needed] As a result, cigar name brands like Romeo y Julieta, Gloria Cubana, Montecristo among others, exist in both Cuba and the Dominican Republic."

Response to comment [from a Christian]:  "I really like zippos if that counts."

How 'bout Swisher Sweets?
