Cohiba 40th

[emodx]

CA articleon the 40th.

yadda yadda yadda.... the intereseting note I saw was that the wrappers were grown on 3 different farms. Some where something had to be lost in translation. I could see the cigar made from a blend of tobacco from 3 diferent farms. But the wrapper grown in 3 different places could mean 3 different flavors of cigars. I am sure I am being overly anal about this. Anyone else hear anyhting about this other than CA?

All depends on how you translate it..

La capa de Cohiba Behike es obra de Pancho Cuba, Alejandro Robaina y Antonio María Paz, tres de los vegueros más prestigiosos del mundo.

the wrapper of the Cohiba Behike is a work of Pancho Cuba, Alejandro Robaina and Antonio María Paz, three of the most pretigious vegueros of the world.

off the top of my head i'd read vegueros as farmers..maybe those three got together and worked on a certain plant for the wrapper or something. or picked out the best plant from the three farms and used it..who knows.


unless those are the names of factories/farms..but I think three people (aforementioend names) just worked together on it.
