    because it's hilarious and awesome. when the cubans took over the rum distilleries and continued making Havana Club it was awesome. the heirs all fled and had to start all over again elsewhere, and they branded their new product "The Real Havana Club" with basically the same logo + "real" inserted into it. and it's just hilarious, because everyone knows it's the new shit from a new place (neither in Havana or in Cuba), new process, different raw materials, etc. it's a total victory for the workers to literally seize everything, including the name.
