And you are sure you weren't given a staged tour that has nothing to do with the reality of most people?

When I bought cigars factory made, smuggled out and sold in shacks in Havanna I doubt it was part of the staged tour - Considering the staged tour was in the factory itself and we were told it was strickly forbidden to buy cigars straight from the factory workers. So we became friendly with them instead and met up after they finished their shift and went to their home shack where we had dinner together, dealt Cohibas and Romeo y Julieta and talked about how life in Cuba was.

But why ask? Have I even said anything about Cuba in this thread beyond that I've been there too? Perhaps you're just an idiot?
