Well, there are two Havana Clubs. The one and original is made in Cuba and is sold worldwide except in the U.S.

Bacardi managed to get its grubby paws on the Havana Club label for the U.S. by lobbying the U.S. Congress to enact a law forbidding Cuba to renew its Havana Club trademark in the U.S.

I had no idea they owned all those labels.
And neither did I.
