Simple, yet very affective - the way a rebus should be.
Oops... Make that effective, not affective.
I agree with snaps all the way--Good one!
Cube In Cigar for Cuban Cigar escapes me
Loved it . Grip, rebuses can lead you to sound out the answer too. i.e. because it is cube in... it sounds the same as Cuban. Was that what you couldn't get?

thanks.. so Cube In sounds the same as Cuban ?
Now Grip, you wouldn't be trying to build up an argument for your "P6" teaser, would you? As editors we don't always have the luxury of making black-and-white decisions. However, it's pretty safe to say that the editors (as well as most of the other people who have read this teaser, judging by its popularity) feel that "Cube in" and "Cuban" are close enough that they weren't confused by the reference. In fact, I'm sure there are several people out there that pronounce these words exactly the same. They aren't officially pronounced the same according to Dictionary.com, but when sounded out they're very close. Close enough for a rebus, anyway.
As Bobbrt has pointed out, it would definitely appear so. They certainly sound the same to me when sounded out. Cheers, D^2.
Good rebus.
