Well said! My favorite experience there: I went to a tobacco farm & got to connect with the farmers & buy cigars from them directly / illegally. The cigar was incredible & I thought I hated cigars - I finally found out why. The government takes 90% of their crops - drops it off at the government run Cohiba factory, sprays it, treats it etc... When I asked them how they make their compost/fertilize their fields, they said I was the first Tourist to ever ask that question. This farm only uses horse manure. https://image.nostr.build/78430fa5931a2ad6c5b6aeeab9b41040d57565079a81abc2747485c634d9e4f6.jpg

It’s tragic how much the government has ruined things like this. Like all of the wine we import to the states that has natural levels of sulfites, yet we still stick a needle thru the cork and re-gas them ourselves. 🫶🤷‍♂️
