Just picked up the latest issue of NG. There's an excellent article on Cuba. No mention of cigars, but a great read. The NG website has an abbreviated sampler here.

Thanks Frank, insightful article. I have been to Cuba a number of times and I am always amazed by the resilience of the Cuban people.

Very interesting. Thanks for sharing, Frank.

The first trip that I took to Cuba years ago with my wife, we were there right as they were in the midst of their "high efficiency" upgrades to their electrical system - all new LG air conditioners, all the lightbulbs across the land starting to be replaced with the CFLs, new EnergyStar TVs and such, etc. All in the name of energy savings, and being environmentally friendly - in a country that allows outside countries to drill for oil RIGHT on the shoreline (environmentally dangerous, to say the least).

An interesting paradox of an island. I totally agree with the one line in there - "...Cuba [both] facinates and makes people's heads hurt."
