What’s so special about Cuban cigars?

Fanatics the world over will tell you that there is nothing finer than a Cuban cigar. But why is that? What’s so special about Cuban cigars? Cigars manufactured in Cuba are believed by many to be the best. Many of Cuba's top cigar producers have left for other cigar making countries and brought their Cuban seeds with them. The Cuban status is thought to arise from the unique features of the soil of Vuelta Abajo district in the Pinar del Río Province at the west of the island, where the microclimate allows high-quality tobacco to be grown.Cuban cigars are rolled from tobacco leaves found throughout the country of Cuba. The filler, binder, and wrapper may come from different portions of the island. All cigar production in Cuba is controlled by the Cuban government, and each brand may be rolled in some different factories in Cuba. Cuban cigar rollers or "torcedores" are claimed to be the most skilled in the world. Torcedores are highly respected in Cuban society and culture and travel worldwide displaying their art of hand rolling cigars.
