Why? The very top Dominican and Hondurans tended to rate just as well or better in evaluations in the Cigar mags (years ago when I read a few copies). Don't know if they are effectively blind tasted though or does advertiser influence creep in. I'd also be concerned that if a cigar maker knew his cigars were being tested he'd only send product make by his best hand rollers and so on.

The real knock against real Cuban cigars (when you can get them) is that they are being made by a country that has lived under Communism for 47 years. That's not good for manufacturing quality products.
