Quote by: G. Adams That's not a Cuban Hoyo de Monterrey. The badge is different for the Cuban, I know I've smoked one. They're good, btw. A lot of people who left cuba established companies with the same names, notably Cohiba (red dotted being the none-Cuban). |
i couldn't find anything on snopes to confirm your claim.
but i dug around and found what i think is the name of this particular cigar is: "hoyo de monterrey particulares".. apparently, it's a special edition cigar.

and if it isn't that one, then it could be one of these:

dunno where these are made though.. you're probably right that they weren't made in cuba - or else i'm sure we would've heard more about this on the news.. kind of ironic, even if it's symbolic though.
