  1. The cigarette product is disrespectful to the population. In some areas, it arrives every month. In others, like SMP, it's a total loss. Or they don't send it. They don't pay for it, and no one explains anything, and the streets are full of resellers of all kinds of cigarettes at exorbitant prices, and the state is neutral. What to do? What to say? 🤔🤔🤔 thanks

  2. María Carmenate I live here in Horguin Agua Clara, Jivara highway. From March on, there are no rice or sugar in April. May is running out and nothing arrives. This is where Cubans live. The people suffer. The children and parents can't afford to buy expensive rice. The delays in products are too long. We retirees have no life. Parents with low salaries don't have enough expensive bread. Let's join forces and celebrate to send the children to school. Nothing arrives for those children from 7 to 13 when they need it most. We are not falling apart. In my comment, Fidel Castro died, Cuba is over, why is that? I celebrated. I would look for a solution. I am Cuban. Proud of my country, but be careful with the misappropriation of resources. We are still in combat.

  3. Put it on the free market at 100 pesos. If finally, those who do not plant or produce the sigarro are getting rich at the expense of the workers, send the quota and the rest free at 100 pesos and your business will end, thank you.

  5. It is necessary to keep the province of Santiago de Cuba, Eastern Region of the Country of Cuba, informed.

    • Good afternoon, the only cigars that go to the warehouses are the Griollo and the mild ones. Where are they on the streets? A mild cigar weighing 70 pesos. Where do they come from? Could someone give me an answer? Please answer.

  6. Our country is wise. Farmers shouldn't need to be told how to farm, as many people who have never touched a hoe have led them to believe. It's questionable. Opening up to the world isn't about making cheap laws when everything is done by contract. Laws can't be changed every day, and the shameful one is the foreign investment law; it doesn't give investors the confidence they need to invest in Cuba. Thank you very much. Someone should reflect on this.

  7. I do not know if the news is true or not, but it is my opinion that in Cuba we can and have to invest in developing agriculture (blessed lands that we have), because this is the basis for the other sectors of the economy, from the fruit of it (well controlled) we Cubans can live and export, because here we can obtain products or productions that we will not have to import saving the country, among them corn flour, soybeans, wheat, etc., with which we contribute to human and animal food, of the latter it contributes to the food of the former, to tourism, etc., as well as to exports. So let us develop agriculture 🚜🚜 and we will have the other sectors guaranteed, everything comes from the land, if the man is useful the land is useful and the other investment that we have to make and due to lack of foresight is the SEN, something that Minister Marcos Pirtales said a long time ago, thank you, it is my humble opinion, with a good planned economy and controlled I think we are self-sufficient enough and more so with the help of Russia and other sister countries, what we have to trust but even better to check and control, an agricultural country is a rich country!!!!!!!

  8. We wonder how it's possible that cigarettes are sold on the black market at sky-high prices, and the state has nothing to offer consumers. Where's the role of these agencies? Are we useless?

  9. It's curious that only events from the interior are published here. 😅 and the capital is not mentioned at all. . ..
    Or should we wait for the storks to bring it to us?

  10. Why are the 4 lbs of rice from March still missing... if it was publicly stated that the product was guaranteed???
    And where are the 7 lb of rice from April...???
    And we are already on May 12. It's a shame.

  11. Why don't they just get rid of all that pain and set them free when they can? Anyway, all they do with that is increase prices and business even more.

    • Those from the black market have cigars at very high prices and the state is shameless because those come from the factory and they know it. Go to the little cave. There are cigars for all the municipalities and provinces. In my neighborhood, the cigars for the months of March, April, and May are missing. In Old Havana and Central Havana, even those from April have already come. They are liars.

      • It is a lack of respect, the entire town knows that thousands of boxes of cigarettes come from the factories every day, this involves managers and administrators, it is not possible that the cafeterias sell cigarettes of any brand and the state does not have to offer even the worst of the cigarettes smoked in this country, it is not possible that in some places like the so-called Cueva, cigarettes are offered by the wheelbarrow and nothing happens, in short, we continue to pay dearly because nobody is interested, corruption is exterminating us little by little, little by little I hope we see a tomorrow that every day is further from the truth.
