While cigar lovers patiently await the arrival of outlandishly priced Cohibas, etc...street-wise Cuba visitors know that you can smoke real Cuban tobacco...for only 1 peso ($.04) apiece!
These cigars are made of left-overs from the island's famous tobacco factories...and available in all bars... throughout the island.
