Size of yearly Cuban production?

[Freddy]

It seems to me that, with the amount of (hopefully genuine) CC's being sold throughout the world (excluding the US), as well as through the numerous Internet sites, the production of CC's appears to be limitless.

Are there any figures for the amount of cigars produced in Cuba yearly?

Thanks for your attention.

Well, I found the answer to my own query, so if anyone is interested:

"As head of Tabacuba, Basulto is leading the restructuring program of the Cuban cigar industry. The organization controls everything concerning tobacco, from growing to production to research. Tabacuba, which was created in 2000, has a workforce of more than 250,000 people and manages the annual production of between 280 million and 300 million cigars -- about half for domestic consumption and half for export."

someone in the know, on this site, will probably have a better answer for you. I don't think that production number you have quoted is accurate given the current market conditions.
