Although I have now quit (20 months now Yeah!) when I did I found Cuban cigarettes a little stronger than ours. They were very inexpensive so I tried several kinds. I also bought some cigarillos which I liked, I believe the packaging was black and yellow like Cohibas. They were about 2.5 CUCs a pack. My husband bought some Montecristo "minis", resembling a cheroot. Hope this helps.
