Speaking of which, most americans wouldn't realise there are more
cuban doctors working in africa and developing countries than
american ones, or from pretty much any other country. As well,

Thanks for that. Now can you make some recommendations? I'm looking for
some equivalents to Monte Cristo's, I think they are called.

I've really enjoyed Hurricanos, available in a fairly large range of
sizes (although my size preference is the Robusto). They are very
well-made, and actually reasonably-priced.
