Calling a Cohiba a quality cigar just because Castro liked it for some odd/off reason is like saying this is a quality high end car just because Porsche made it:



Look at those two. Living the dream.

Everyone says this and while I agree to an extent, truth is, I never had a Cuban cigar I liked that I didn't purchase myself from Casa del Habano in Cuba. Any Cuban I have purchased outside of Cuba was 100% fake and unappealing. This includes "legit" Habanos S.A. retailers. For me nothing beats an actual Partagas Serie D #4.
