i have no idea but i'm guessing no they are not

i doubt it. someone else tried to tell me that all cuban cigars are laced with either coke or weed. i'm not buying that one, either.

I cannot find anything concerning that on google and I would imagine that they aren't just from smoking one.

Haha no. Cigars are not held together by any sort of glue. What is people's obessision with Cuban cigars. I have heard all the rumors from they are laced with various drugs to they get you high. The reason people want Cuban cigars is because the soil in Cuba is perfect for growing tobacco leading to a great smoke.

I have had many a fine cigar and can tell you without hesitation that Cubans are not the best. I would take a Dominican cigar over that any day of the week. In my humble opinion, people want Cuban cigars because they can't have them. Unless you're traveling to a country that doesn't have an embargo against Cuba, you're never going to taste one unless you're connected.
Cuban cigars are hyped because they are rare in this country. They are rare because of the Cuba embargo, not because they're so good.

cohibas are made with cuban tobacco. The only difference between cohibas is where they were rolled. Dominican Rep or cuba. Ive also grown a strain of cuban tobacco (hydroponically) thats killer for blunts. Makes ur lips numb when smoking

I buy Cubans whenever I go to the islands for the exact reason Wronguy stated: because I can't get them here.
Shit, whatever, I'm on vacation. I like rum and cigars, pfft.
But really, I think an Ashton or Davidoff is better than any cuban I've had.

The reason that everyone thinks Cuban cigars are laced is because the fact that they're illegal and not many people know why, so they make up reasons to sound intelligent. I was talking to a coworker today and I asked if he really knew why they're illegal. He said it's either a.) for the same reason weed is illegal... the government can't tax it. Or b.) because we don't allow shit made by commy bastards in the US.

No, its more the fact that lots of people are stupid assholes and rely on bullshit stories to inflate their egos.
The only reason is a trade embargo enacted in 1962 due to a conflict which started with a sugar exportation conflict between the US and the Soviet Union and that little mess with the missiles... and solidified in 1992 and further in 1996.
Nothing more, nothing less.
