Who discovered America?

Columbus may not have "discovered" America, but he was the first person to go back and tell everyone how good cuban tobacco was. I'll give him props for that.

I don't know, man- the way the Tainos smoked it (deep, hyperventilating inhalation of large bundles), I'm not sure I can ascribe much taste to the man. How we ever got from that smoking style to the modern one, I don't know (though I can guess that more than a few were tired of falling over), but thank Cohiba we did!

I think some of early Cuban relatives, practicing and preparing for eventual regular 90 mile dash, discovered America.

I read somewhere that Columbus never made it past the Bahamas and Ponce De Leon first landed here.

Then I took the tour in St Augustine to see the Fountain of Youth and it was a tourist trap, so I was left confused.

Did get to see an albino alligator, ate some homemade fudge, and found a neat little cigar bar, so the trip wasn't a complete loss.

Just the other day, someone told me that the Chinese invented pasta and all along I was under the impression it was the Italians.

A few hours ago, someone told me copper wire was invented by two guys fighting over a penny.
