good night comrade friends wherever located especially comrades who are in Cuba.
I have long wanted to share a blog about this cigar cigar because I myself is a cigar enthusiast even in aceh hard we get because no one is selling.
my experience in 2013 I once met a friend from a rare country called Ruzukha in jail malaysia.saat the first time he entered the cell he brought 2 cigar sticks which one rod given to me.
he was arrested in the Malaysian lndonesian KLCC mudflow due to passport issues and illegal immigrants from the Malaysian police.
at that moment I like the smell of tobacco from the cigar also.

this is what I might want to share about the world's most expensive cigars.

Milagroz Diaz has been rolling a cigar for 48 years, so long he did so that his nose could no longer recognize the aroma of tobacco, and he was so excited that the United States market finally opened up to Cuban "habanos" hand-rolled tobacco.

Since President Barak Obama announced the resumption of diplomatic ties with Cuba on Wednesday and began withdrawing economic sanctions, so many Americans went to a cigar shop at Nacional Havana hotel where the sale of a cigarette by Milargo Diaz with a technique created in the 21st century -19.

"American!" he said, with a happy face as he put his hands together over his head. "They are not afraid anymore, I am very happy because at the age of 67 this year I never lead diplomatic relations will be reopened and I think more cigars will be sold, because this is just the beginning stage.

Cigars are Cuban's flagship product since Christopher Columbus saw the natives sucking the tobacco leaf roll when he first landed on the Caribbean island in 1492.

Fidel Castro, who seized power in Cuba through the 1959 revolution, was often seen sucking his favorite tobacco, a long, slender type of lancero, until he quit smoking in 1985.

Many people consider Cuban cigars the best cigars in the world - with brands like Cohiba, Montecristo and Partagas - but the US trade embargo prevents access to the country's product cigars to markets that last year imported 317.6 million high quality hand-rolled cigars.
When Obama disclosed a new policy towards Cuba aimed at ending the conflict over the past five decades, the first Cuban forbidden products to become legal were cigars.

The new regulation to be implemented in the near future determines the US will make it easier for its citizens to visit Cuba and they can bring home alcohol and tobacco with a value of US $ 100.

This restriction can be relaxed over time. Large shipments to the US will require a decision from Congress to lift the embargo, or Obama declare an exception to a cigar under the Trade Act with Enemies.

These early steps have already made Cuban fans in both areas of the Florida Straits happy, as are Cubans working in the industry.

Milagroz Diaz said this additional income could help tobacco farmers better finance their agriculture and improve transport for their workers.

Milagroz carefully rolled a dry tobacco leaf from the province of Pinar de Rio and put it in a wooden mold for at least 20 minutes. After that the tobacco is fitted with an outer cover by using "chaveta" or a crescent-shaped knife.

He said while still working at the Romeo y Julieta factory in Havana, he could make 200 cigars in eight hours of work, but the speed at this hotel is much easier because it's just for the show for buyers.

The Cuban government estimates the profits from lifting the Cuban rum and Cuban rum embargo could reach US $ 200 million per year that could be used for the country's social welfare programs.

Their status as a "forbidden fruit" increases the interest of American cigar lovers.
The existing black market allows them to buy it but the demand will be very high.

"Cuban cigars do have high status so many people really want it ... Everyone wants to try a cuban cigar," said David Weiss, owner of Lone Wolf Cigar Company, which has two stores and one Cuban sucking place in Santa Monica and Los Angeles.

He said US sellers could buy directly from Cuba if economic sanctions were lifted, although he warned that the country's cigars now had hard rivals from other countries, especially the Dominican Republic and Nicaragua.

Cuba will also find it difficult to meet the increasing demand if the US market really opened wide, so it can make the price rise rapidly while the quality down.

Whatever happens, cigars are indeed a pride of Cubans. A luxury item in many countries but only a lot of products inhabited by the working class in Cuba.

Cubans, especially men, like to suck it when playing dominoes or streets.

Foreign tourists who can afford expensive cigars, meet the places frequented by the famous author Ernest Hemingway and sit sucking cigars like Papa, the author of this book from the United States.

"We Cubans are very nationalist and see ourselves as the best in various fields, yes we are very proud and confident we produce the best certu in the world," said Enrique Nunez, a restaurant owner and member of the Puro Humo cigar club who meet once a month in Havana.

Nunez then tells the story of the smell of a cigar and he prefers the brand cigar Montecristo.

Pilar Fernandez, the only female member of the Puro Humo club, appreciates the traditions and skills behind the Cuban cigars.

"This is a work of art," said Fernandez, who is from Spain. "These products are not made with machines, they make cigars the way they did 200 years ago, including their own tools and hands.This is really a 19th century product".
