In light of the facts that

1) the Robaina family specializes in wrapper leaf

and

2) Ecuador specializes in wrapper leaf

and

3) wrapper leaf, if anything, would be the product Cuba would, logically, be most likely to have a need to import,

it would be a fair assumption that the middle Senor Robaina's mystery Ecuadorian vega is producing wrapper leaf, yes?

If that's the case, where are the Cuban cigars with wrappers that look Ecuadorian and where are the Ecuadorian-wrapper-identified cigars with wrappers that look Cuban? I've seen some of each that look vaguely like each other, but nothing I think I'd have any risk of misidentifying.
