Cuban neckties are usually applied after you're dead. In the rare chance it's done while you're alive, assuming you can't breathe, I'd suggest giving yourself an emergency tracheotomy. Assuming whoever gave you the necktie isn't around, call 911 and follow the silent call procedure. You should be able to survive until emergency services gets there.
Yes, I think people could survive a Cuban necktie. Humans have survived worse before.
