Domestic or Cuban?
I'm guessing you mean American made with cuban tobacco?
Funny thing there. Cuba used Connecticut wrapper for damn near everything prior to the embargo. And the US used cuban filler and binder with US wrapper.
It's cause they couldn't grow decent wrapper in Cuba until they were forced to, and they had a hard time of it.
I'm not sure why they couldn't grow decent wrapper. I'd have to guess it was the heat. I'm sure someone will know a lot more than I do about it and speak up. I hope, anyways.
