I seriously doubt your percentages are correct. I quote David Savona's blog on cigar aficionado when I say:
"Suckling said he vastly underestimated how many Cuban cigars
were smoked by Americans, estimating the number to be around
8 to 12 million cigars per year. Officials from Habanos S.A., Cuba's
cigar exporting organization, told him that they estimate the figure
to be 25 million or even 50 million units per year."
If your percentage was right then, that would mean Americans were consuming 500 million to 1 billion fake cigars a year.

That's a lot of Cohibos.
