I smoked a 'Popular' Cuban cigarette the other day, given to me by a Cuban uber driver when we got talking tobacco. I quit smoking cigs a long time ago but made an exception here. It was absolutely horrible, so strong I tossed it half way through.

The story states tobacco is Cuba's fourth largest industry, what are the top 3?

I received a of a pack of H. Upmanns recently, my usual brand is American Spirit light blues. The tobacco was quite good, if a bit strong, however,

when I returned to the room after a trip outside, I was compelled to check the bottom of my shoes, and search the house for something to clean up.
While I am pleased to say that the new puppy, "Piper"  was innocent this time, I am no longer allowed to "enjoy" Cuban cigarettes in the house.
