I guess it would have been easier to say "no to all three"

Cuba's outline is very iconic to the cigar industry and since distribution of this cigar will be my front porch, back porch and MAYBE garage, I figured I'd be ok.

The Cuban representation is used by many non Cuban cigar companies to illustrate a link of some type to Cuba. Usually via Cuban seeds for the tobacco. Others do it as it is their heritage being exiles of Cuba.
In your case, none of it fits. Sort of a square peg in a round hole.
Do as you wish but seems pretty silly to me to use that.
A tobacco leaf would be more appropriate but heck do I know.
I am all for BOTLs having businesses and making a living but it now seems CA is not a community but rather a community to be used for continued profit.
My two cents.
