We visited a tobacco farm, where we had the opportunity to purchase genuine Cuba cigars for $3.25.  The farm had been in this man's family for 3 generations, but only recently had actual title been put back in his name.  The government claimed it after the revolution.   After harvest, the government takes 90% of the tobacco, leaving the farmer with just 10% for his "own personal use".  He chose to demonstrate how to hand roll a cigar, then sell it to tourists.  I asked our guide if all farmers lost 90% of their crop to the government.  His reply, "Oh no, vegetable farmers only give up 60% of their crop".
