Why are Cuban Cigars so darn popular these days? Is it their unique flavor, their heady aroma, or the aura of power that seems to cling to these expensive, handmade status symbols? At any rate, despite a U.S. embargo, premium Cuban stogies seem more popular than ever. Cuban cigar aficionados like California governor Arnold Schwarzenegger fill their humidors with the finest Cohibas and San Cristobals they can find, and will probably lead to the eventual overturning of the ban on importing Cuban cigars. Many cigar fans would probably rather trash their humidors, lighters and other accessories than never smoke another premium Cuban.
