Cuban Cigars Still Coming Into America
Cuban cigars and tobacco continue to enter the United States despite the diplomatic break. Shipments, though smaller, include hundreds of bales of Cuban leaf tobacco used for cigars and some ready made stor ies, with manifests showing continued imports alongside an overall embargo on sugar and reduced trade. The West India Shipping Co operates the City of New Orleans ferry with tobacco and other Cuban goods arriving to support remaining exports and Cuba’s hard currency needs.
