Cuban cigars & Chinese Ducks

Yes, it’s true. I smoked a Cuban cigar once upon a time. I was smoking an illegal Cuban cigar back in the 1970s. An American national reporter I knew slipped me the Cuban cigar, but truthfully, I can’t remember his name or who he worked for in those years. He did know a thing or two about cigars. He had been to Cuba reporting some Cold War story when Fidel Castro was still fully in charge. And in truth, the reporter’s cigars may even have been legal, if his traveling was considered useful to government leaders. Legal or not, that American reporter bought a few cigars for his friends and he kindly included me in that gesture. He told me he had found it hard to believe at first that Cuban cigars actually could be as exceptional as tobacco mythology would cause the world believe. But he and I both were dazzled by the Cuban product/ Bill Hall , Lewiston Tribune. More here .

Question: Can you name a product that a town, country or area is known for, that actually lives up to its name?
