Cuban cigar
Above is a very common Cuban expression; we Cubans use it when someone tells us a story that we already know, going back to the very, very beginning (which tends to make the story very long). Since the history of tobacco on our island is extensive, I will of course try to summarize, as it does represent an interesting example of transculturation, as the wise Fernando Ortiz noted.
