Official Policy on Cuban Cigars
As much as it pains me to do so, I would like to officially declare that the sale or trade of Cuban Cigars (ISOM’s) are not be discussed on this board. Please do so in private. I am not enacting this policy because of any particular post/thread. I simply want to keep this board a clean, fun place for everyone’s enjoyment. The bottom line is that Cigarsmokers.com is owned and operated in the United States and Cuban cigars are illegal here. Black market wares bring nothing but trouble.
If you would like to discuss an experience or post a review about a Cuban cigar, that is fine so long as it does not involve buying, selling, or trading with in the United States.
Sorry guys, but I'm not going to jeopardize this community or myself for the enjoyment of anyone.
As soon as it becomes apparent that the trade embargo has been lifted, or someone can prove to me that allowing these type of posts will not fall back on the forum, then this ban will be removed.
Official Policy on Cuban Cigars
The link you posted hex is rather interesting. It makes me question why Navy Customs informed us that there is a legal way to bring back items such as Cubans. I may have to procure that documentation and personally read it. Obviously even if there is an exemption for a service member returning from a location where they purchased a few legally, it is still illegal to sell or trade them in the United States.
