Cuban tobacco growing has a tradition going back to the early inhabitants of Cuba. The soil, heritage seed, and expertise of the farmers produce some of the finest tobacco in the world. 
 
While quality declined in the late 90's and early 00's during the "cigar boom" the government has recently become focused on smaller yields, lower production numbers, and higher quality to support the reputation of their brands.

Their reputation for being the finest comes from the tradition of cigar making, but also has a hold In The modern day manufacture that occurs there. Their grading system for cigar rollers is the standard for the world, and Cuban-trained rollers are used to train torceros in factories arou d the world. The quality of their tobacco can be spoken to by the high percentage of "Cuban seed" tobacco grown throughout Nicauragua and the Dominican Republic.

Overall, all cigar producing nations have some great, and some not so great cigars. Cuba is no exception. Whethe rw cigar is "great" or not is often a subjective matter of taste. For many, the spicy, creamy, cedar-sweet and tobacco flavors offered by some of the Cuban Marques define what a great cigar is.
