Thank you.
Not a cigar aficionado so I know little.

From my understanding the Cubans really gave the rest of the worlds tobacco growers a break by completely mismanaging their fields after Castro took over.

As I understood it they simply kept planting their fields over and over, over fertilising to force the ground to grow tobacco.
The condition of the land affects leaf appearance and flavor.

Tobacco is very hard on land and needs proper management.
We used to rotate the tobacco fields so that a field had three years of rest between tobacco plantings.
