Moon River Crooks

[Sutton]

Well I'm told from a chum of mine that there is a "Cuban" cigar called moon river crooks . It is from the 70's era and in not a 100% sure it's a Cuban make, to me it doesn't sound Cuban and I have tried doing a little research on Trevors site and can't find anything which also makes me believe that it is not Cuban.

If anyone can shed some light on this cigar please do.

Thanks

Pretty sure it's not Cuban.

That's what I found too, I must question this chum of mine again too.

Thanks Lisa

Maybe made from imported Cuban tobacco. I read a few weeks back that NC Brickhouses started off pre-embargo being rolled in the US but made with all cuban tobacco brought over from Cuba. Obviously that stopped after the revolution.

Or maybe not, I'm just throwing stuff out there to see if it sticks

Sorry, but all above replies are wrong!.Moon River Crooks (not Moonshine, or just Crooks) did exist in the '50s  and 60's and were so dark nearly black and twisted like a single Culebra.Don't no if any Cuban content but our house painter had one in his beak at all times to ward off the paint fumes and I was fascinated but too young to buy any for myself.
