...apparently so, though it's only small quantities at this point.

This is pretty significant - did not expect for things to move this quickly.
Anyone up for a VR Famosos split? :smiley37:

I didn't hear about any of this until the owner of my company, who occasionally has a cigar and knows I have more than an occasional said "So, I bet you'll be taking advantage of the new trade relaxation" and I was like "huh" and my wife recovered for me. :smiley9:
Love to get some more VR Famosos. Count me in.
You forgot this part:
Never mind "moving quickly" nothing's really moving at all.Quote:
Only Congress can fully end the 54-year embargo.
I don't see Congress repealing the Trading With the Enemy Act anytime soon, if ever.
Yep, you can bring them back I think up to $100 and the travel restrictions have been eased. I didn't read the article so maybe that's addressed somewhere.
Don't know that the internet purchase option would be legal. And besides, $100 value, please, are we all gonna smoke mini's and clubs?
Anyway, in for a split. I was looking around a day or two ago and there are a couple multi-box deals out there......don't recall if VR famoso's were on it though.
I have been looking since Thanksgiving and haven't found any good deals. Guess I just don't know where to look. I would be in for a split of whatever you dudes would like if it were to happen.

That's what I read too, $100 worth and that's what you can bring back. No idea about ordering online.Quote:

It'd be nice if I could take some Cuban's with me when I travel south of the 49th. I'd love to bring some along to trade with my buddy that owns the Cigar store in CDA. We'll see.
Oh, that article George linked, I laughed when I saw the picture of the lady selling cigars in the street. That's a dead giveaway that they're most definitely counterfeit and not what the seller is telling you they are.
