 Recognized for his wisdom and love for the tobacco leaf, Alejandro Robaina, considered the best tobacco grower in Cuba, arrives at his 90th birt day.
As on many other occasions, the venue for this celebration is his beloved tropical island, where he is surrounded by family and friends, including many cigar smokers of the world, some of them Canadian.
 A life dedicated to tobacco
His face has as many traces of the sun as a sailor. His expression displays the wisdom of a grower dedicated body and soul to tobacco, a beneficent plant that since his childhood became for him a game, study, profession and, above all, joy.
Don Alejandro Robaina Pereda today has achieved an enviable old age. He is an active and happy man, a very special Cuban who, without ever studying diplomacy, is a sort of ambassador for the Cuban cigar, the handcrafted cigar every aficionado wants to smoke.
