I, Wilbur Hubbard, can shed some light of this question. The Good Captain
Neal is presently engaged in Cuba on revitalizing a couple of cigar
tobacco
plantations and getting a premium brand cigar factory up and running. With
the ever-increasing popularity of cigar smoking in the U.S. and Canada
these
days it is a guaranteed money maker.



Not with the present embargo. Besides, most states are passing
non-smoking laws.

Sounds like a losing enterprise.



That goes to show how little you know about it. The demand for fine Cuban
cigars has skyrocketed in the past two or three years and there's no end in
sight. Even though it is technically illegal to import them into the U.S.A.
that doesn't keep them out and only serves to make them more expensive and
the profit even greater. The U.S. market, in spite of the federales best
efforts, is a gold mine. Aficionados are willing to pay 20, 30, 50 dollars a
stick for a quality Cuban cigar.

You've got to hand it to Capt. Neal. He's always been on the cutting edge.
Anything he does he does big and he does it right and he does it well.
