If you think of Cuba, what icons does it conjure up? The mojito? Classic cars? Colorful streets? Che Guevara (even though he’s Argentinean)?
说起古巴，你会想到什么？炎炎夏日里的清凉鸡尾酒莫吉托？飞驰在街头、黑烟滚滚的经典老爷车？五颜六色、异国情调的古旧街道？领导古巴革命的传奇偶像切·格瓦拉（虽然他是阿根廷人）？

Here I’m going to show you some images of another Cuban icon - the cigars. To be exact, a tobacco farmer’s rolling and smoking cigar. The head picture is my entry to the PeoplePhotography Contest by @worldcapture and Qurator’s Photo Friday competition.

Cigar is believed by many to be originated from Cuba. It’s not uncommon to see locals smoking cigar on the streets. It’s an interesting experience for me to visit a tobacco farm in the Viñales Valley, situated in the west of Cuba.

In front of a hut, this man in my photos demonstrated how to hand roll cigars. I also tried smoking a bit afterwards. The earthy flavor with a smell of the soil was unforgettable.

今天我要分享的内容是关于另外一项大名鼎鼎的古巴特产 —— 雪茄。确切点说，是一位古巴烟草种植户卷烟的过程。
一般认为古巴是雪茄的起源地，据史书记载，早在1492年，哥伦布就已经在古巴岛上遇到吸简易烟草卷的土著居民。 19世纪时雪茄烟被传到欧洲，一度风行于上流社会，一些富人还专门组织了雪茄俱乐部，品评不同种类的卷烟。我在古巴旅行时，常常在街头看到抽雪茄的当地居民，坐在门前的男女，衣着鲜艳，神态自若，嘴里叼着根粗大的雪茄，缭绕的烟雾里静观眼前人来人往，正如我们这些游客，成为各自眼中的风景。
古巴大部分雪茄都产自本国西部的Viñales山谷地带，因为这里有着肥沃的红土和适宜烟草生长的热带干湿季气候。我从首都哈瓦那坐大巴去到Viñales小镇后，跟车上一法国女孩住在当地同一家民宿。第二天，我们一起跟着一位当地年轻向导徒步参观了山谷里的烟草农场。顶着烈日走了很远，一路上虽然极度湿热，简直要被烤化，但风光无限好，拍了很多照片，以后会继续分享。
这次的照片是在一家农舍前拍下的。这位烟农坐在门口，向我们展示了卷烟的过程。卷完后，他很享受地吸了几口，也教我们尝试了一把。木质的清香带点淡淡的泥土气息，很特别的味道。
你尝试过吸雪茄吗？如果去古巴，强烈推荐去参观Viñales山谷这个风景秀丽的烟草产地。
