Talk:Guantanamera (cigar)

Fair use rationale for Image:Guantanameralogo.jpg
Image:Guantanameralogo.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Neutrality / Localization
This article purports to be about a brand of cigars, but instead is a discussion about two brands of cigars, which fails to disambiguate them.

I would suggest (in my limited experience) that most cigar smokers worldwide, if asked, "Who are Guantanamera?", would reply: "they are a Cuban brand of cheap machine-made cigars". The Cuban brand is well known and enjoys worldwide distribution. Whereas, very few people will have heard of any US company bearing the same name, it's not clear that the US company even distributes their product outside the US.

The picture accompanying the article describes the Habanos SA (i.e. Cuban) brand. I arrived at this Wikipedia page reasonably expecting to find information about the Cuban brand. If there are two distinct brands, there should surely be two distinct pages, with the Cuban brand probably having priority as it enjoys greater brand recognition.

This article appears largely to be a rant, to the effect that Habanos SA have 'stolen' the identity of the US company.

There is some description of legal action between the two brands, but unfortunately it is quite incomprehensible to anybody outside of the United States.
