The best of cigars can be safely said to be Cuban cigars because of the high popularity they enjoy. There are a number of cigars which are being produced all over the world but none of them come close to the Cuban cigars in terms of richness of taste and exquisiteness. Most of these cigars are produced in the Latin American countries because of the rich harvest of tobacco over there. The USA placed an embargo on export of Cuban goods in 1963 which restricted the flow of Cuban cigars into the American market. This had an effect on the sale figures of Cuban cigars for sometime but the overwhelming popularity of the same could not be controlled for a longer period of time.
Cuban cigars are still looked upon as the best in the word even though they are restricted in their availability. This was due to the embargo placed by America. But there are a lot of fraudulent cigars which are being sold as a result of the high demand. The embargo has led to a number of dealers selling fake cigars under the pretext of Cuban cigars to generate money. Even though the Cuban cigars are very costly and most people cannot afford them, the popularity of the same never seems to dwindle. They are as popular as they were in the period before the application of the embargo.
