Despite that, Cuba is central to the stories, as it is with so many things related to cigars According to Tad Gage, the author of The Complete Idiot\u2019s Guide to Cigars, the practice goes back to the early 20th century. Around that time, cigar manufacturers started packing their cigars really tightly &#8211; fitting more cigars in each box meant saving on shipping costs.
