Cigar In Seven Years' War it is believed Israel Putnam brought back a cache of Havana cigars[6], making cigar smoking popular in the US after the American Revolution. He also brought Cuban tobacco seeds which he planted in the Hartford area of New England. This reportedly resulted in the development of the renowned Connecticut Wrapper.[7]
Cuban sandwich A Cuban sandwich is a variation of a ham and cheese sandwich that originated in cafes catering to Cuban workers in Key West[1] and Ybor City, Tampa,[2][3] two early Cuban immigrant communities in Florida. Later on, Cuban exiles and expatriates brought it to Miami,[3] where it is also still very popular. The sandwich is made with ham, roasted pork, Swiss cheese, pickles, mustard, and sometimes salami on Cuban bread.[2][4] Salami is an important ingredient for Cuban sandwiches made in Tampa, where there is a large Italian population, but is not usually included in South Florida.[5][6][7]
