Many Cubans left Cuba for Key West to benefit from the cigar economy. As a result Key west has a rich cigar history. In tribute to the artisans who have made the ninety mile stretch to the united states, Flor Gonzalez created the 90 miles cigar rated 91 and available in four different sizes. Nicaraguan and Ecuadoran tobacco are used to create this medium-bodied cigar. On a political note, John F. Kennedy used the 90 miles speech against Castro, but the distance is just a little further from about 94 to 106. If your curious use google earth map.http://www.google.com/earth/index.html
