I do not know if the companies producing these with NC tobacco have purchased the trademark/names from their rightful owners or not. If they have, they have more of a right to the name than the communist government in Cuba.

I do agree that stealing the Cohiba name is lame.

I can't wait to watch the frenzy over brand names once the embargo is eventually lifted.
