End the Cuban embargo, if only for the cigars!

Great Debates

Okay okay… yes I stand against Communism, blah blah blaah and all the other good old-fashioned arguments for the embargo.

BUT… (like you didn’t see that coming?)

I’m really REALLY tired of not being able to enjoy a nice Cuban cigar from time to time.

C’mon, I know there has to be some other aficionados on this board who’d like to see the ban lifted. Forget about all the pseudo-political reasons involved… imagine a nice box of Cuban Monte Cristo’s in your humidor!!

So what needs to happen to satisfy my appetite?

:wink:

A short drive from Columbus to Windsor ought to suffice. You can legally bring back 25 cigars for personal use. I’ll warn you now though, they’re expensive.

UncleBeer,

Thanks I’ve been to Windsor and I can attest to the prices!!

I wasn’t aware however that you can return with up to 25 legally!

Oops, I guess I’ll have to eat a little bit of crow. I am mistaken, Joe, you cannot legally bring Cuban cigars back to the U.S. from Canada or any third party county. I have been misinformed; I guess it’s just a good thing my cigars weren’t confiscated. Here’s a link to the text of a letter from the BATF which explicitly states that a U.S. citizen cannot import Cuban cigars from anywhere except Cuba.

I apologize and will now heartily endorse your effort to overthrow Mr. Castro.
