Imported Cigar Debate Highlights Trade and Tastes
Ike Bloom notes that imported cigars are not always better and explains price and duty gaps between cigars and tobacco. He observes Cuban skill, shifts in ownership to Spaniards, and a growing American-made higher quality with more tobacco and larger sizes.
