Alot of the "original" owners of the marcas fled the revolution and started up again abroad, they (or there descendants) then sold up to the big tobacco companies, so who owns the name????? The exception is Cohiba who are a post revolution brand simply ripped off.
Ok, so there is more to this than what may appear on the surface.

I'm sure I also read somewhere that immediately after the revolution the Cuban government stopped using the traditional brand names, and then started using them again after the nameless brands flopped
That also must be the reason why Cuba fights to stop the Americans using Cohiba but not the others brands
No montecristo in the usa is nothing to do with montecristo cuba. They have used the montecristo name as the usa does not recognise any cuban trade marks.
The chaps that setup montecristo Cuba fled when the cigar industry was nationalised and then eventually setup in the Dominican. So technically it's not the same company but started by the same owners.
