Meaning of "Cuban" blends
I regularly find non-Cuban blends described as being Cuban derived/influenced, for instance Tatuaje Havana VI and in general EP Carillo. What does this mean? Is it like saying which artists from a prior time have influenced a contemporary artist, such that while the current artist has their own style but one can still hear or see the prior artist's style in their work?

I normally find it a ploy by non-Cuban cigar companies to try to sell more cigars.

Re: Meaning of "Cuban" blends
99% of all tobacco grown outside of cuba can be traced back to cuban seeds, people were stuffing their socks full of them when they were leaving the island during the revolution. I take it to be a ploy as well, which was very frustrating when working at a cigar shop and having to explain to people that, just because the box has "cuban" on it, they were not actually cuban cigars

Sales gimmick, much like the sunken treasure chest Gurkhas come in.
