Sales of Cuba's famed cigars are hot, despite continued recession fears in Europe, and a U.S. embargo that bars American aficionados from legally lighting up. While Europe remains the top market for such signature Cuban brands as Cohiba, Montecristo, and Romeo y Julieta, sales in Asian nations including China are growing rapidly. (AP Photo/Javier Galeano)
