The Story

In 1959 as Castro was taking power in Cuba, people who were connected to the previous Batista government fled the island by any means. Their fear of reprisal pushed them to beg, borrow, or steal any method of transportation they could find. Many people stole or stowed away on cargo ships, presenting a problem for the ports in the US that had to figure out what to do with all the stolen cargo. They certainly didn't want to return it to Castro, so in the end they decided to auction it off. A few boards of rare Cuban mahogany included in these auctions eventually made it into our hands over 50 years later.
