Cuban Legitimacy

Rain

Random legal question.I think I read it here, actually. Is it true that it's not just illegal in the US to have a Cuban cigar, but actually it's illegal for you, a US citizen, to buy one even abroad?

if that is the case I do not want to know for plausible deniability!

Yeah, the restrictions of the embargo are pretty ridiculous. We can't technically financially support Cuba in any way, including purchasing a cigar of their's anywhere.

But Sir. I'm not supporting their evil island's communistic economy. I'm burning their crops through a selective slash an burn program.

Hey, don't knock it, it's working. This embargo is going to bring Fidel to his knees any day now.

You... you.... Happy Friday!

Yep...illegal as anything else but it's a product the Gov't knows people order anyway. Even the POTUS broke the law when he had Salinger buy up to 1200 Petit Upmanns before he signed the executive order making them illegal....pretty hypocritical I'd say even though I liked JFK. My political leanings tell me if this Gov't can support evil regimes all over the world then me buying a cigar pretty much is a no brainer...regardless who signed a piece of paper. It used to be that this country stood for something other than crushing national debt...leaving people stranded under foreclosure...propping up companies that are "too big to fail" even if they are corrupt....sorry, the Gov't doesn't get to act like a bully and then expect me to cater to it's own evil. JMHO
