Cuban Developments and non-Cuban Cigars

A very US-centric, market protectionist piece of propaganda sold to wiling dupes by "those in the know". Strange how people who make a comfortable living off denigrating and disparaging the CC marketplace all seem to have access to indisputable evidence that says "buy us, we're so much better no matter what you know".

I truly love this part:

Were Cubans legal the following remarks would have no value, but as we have seen that status is not going to happen anytime soon.

The biggest criticism of Cubans is quality control, especially that construction is weak.

The author is saying that if Cubans were legal (read: the author was making money off them) then criticisms of quality control, etc. would have no value. E.g., it would not be in the best interest of the vendor.

Me thinks that thou doth protest too much.
