  • The Cubans that left often had gotten their shit taken by the Cuban government. It’s actually why you see Cuban cigar brands, and then the same brand, but a different manufacturer that’s NOT Cuban on the American market. A lot of those families had their farms and marques taken by the Cuban government, who still uses them today.

    Most of those families that left sold their marques to large corporations, that manufacture them today. It’s also why those cigars are almost universally terrible. They trade off the name.

    All that to say, a lot of former Cubans want to see the Cuban government suffer for things like that. It’s the one I know of specifically, but there were more. I couldn’t say if they have a, “King in Waiting” mindset about it, with regard to their eventual possible return to Cuba, but thats the gist I get from my times interacting with them.
