Trump might make it more difficult to get a Cuban cigar - here's why they're the best
President Donald Trump is expected to announce plans to follow through on his campaign pledge to restate the importance of the 56-year-old trade embargo with Cuba, and ban tourist travel to the country, according to Politico.
In 2016, former President Barack Obama had lifted restrictions on tourists who wanted to take home the souvenir of a Cuban cigar - a prized item to the island.
Cuba's tobacco production can be compared to Napa Valley's wine culture - it's taken seriously, and some Cuban tobacco farmers have even gained income by hosting international visitors, giving guided tours through the beautiful countryside, and an inside look at how the cigars are produced.
One such farm is the family-run and owned Montesino. Located in Pinar del Rio, a little over an hour west of Havana, the farm is one of Cuba's most renowned tobacco producers. Here's how it makes a fine Cuban cigar.
