I love Havana cigars and have for quite some time (since 2006 or thereabouts). While some cigars from other countries can be similar in terms of tobacco quality, I have had few non-Cubans that matched the superior flavor and aroma of a Havana cigar (all personal preference, of course).
That being said, it appears the Cuban cigar industry is currently turning tits up. Prices are beyond what even long-time, well-heeled aficionados are willing to pay, supply is the lowest it's ever been, and I've seen pictures of the factory floors nearly empty during business hours. The tobacco is being grown, but too many rollers and management have either fled the country or found work in other endeavors. Last week, they announced an imminent significant global price increase.
I'm glad I stocked up when I did, and I still prefer Cuban tobacco in a cigar, but I've dabbled more in non-Cubans recently and there are some that are enjoyable. While not as good as a classic Cuban Por Larrañaga, Hoyo de Monterrey, or Partagás, they scratch the itch. Plus with careful rationing, I've got Havanas for the next 10 years at least now that I've discovered the joys of pipe smoking. $52 Cohiba Esplendido or $2 bowl of McClelland? Hmmmm......
