I never claimed any of the above was convenient -- and yes, I just re-read the new tobacco laws, so long as you don't pay for anything it's still OK. Buying through an intermediary (here's $20, buy a cigar and give it to me as a gift") doesn't work.

Going to Cuba is something we talk about here OFTEN down here. The only reason I haven't done it is because I'll be the ONE PERSON who gets caught and prosecuted.

I'm out of the news business, so I can't get there easily anymore. I'm also already married, so I don't have the option of marrying a Cuban girl. One of my best friends IS married to a Cuban national and works for the newspaper here, so goes to Cuba legally quite often. He's my main source of Cuba information.

Down here in Key West, most people think the embargo is a joke.

Judging by the amount of politicians suckin' on cuban cigars, I'd venture to say that the joke has reached a bit further north.

I'd say ScoopKW has a very unique perspective since he's a mere 90 miles away from Cuba.

I've heard lots of guys in South Florida going down there and taking a long weekend but none will bring anything back at the risk of losing their vessel. How ballsy would it be to be standing on deck :smiley37: when the Coast Guard stopped you. "Oh this... definitely not a Cigar from Cuba."

People are wondering wow strict the embargo really is "some guy I know" got this in December and will rpobably get another bottle this year. :smiley2:

If the USA wanted to effectively enforce the Cuban embargo, they would cut off trade with whatever countries (pretty much everyone) that are trading with those commie bastards.:smiley36:

Again, an example of all talk, no action. Are there any private citizens who have been charged for violating the emgargo on a personal level?

(not talking about people importing large amounts or fakes)

I personally know people who have lost their boats. So, yes. Google "Key West Havana Regatta" for more information.
