Martín: They were both Cuban.
CA: Where was the wrapper operation in Nicaragua?
Martín: In Estelí. It was natural wrapper and it was beautiful.
CA: Which cigar companies were you selling to?
Martín: Mostly Consolidated Cigar.
CA: Did you sell any of this wrapper to the Joya de Nicaragua?
Martín: No. That was owned by Gen. Anastasio Somoza, and they were using a Cuban-seed wrapper.
CA: Were you using Connecticut seed?
Martín: Yes. We also sold a lot to the Canary Islands' factories.
CA: Did you and your partners lose any property or business when the Sandinistas took over in 1979?
