Cubans in the US

[ashauler]

I don't do (illegal) drugs. Only tobacco and alcohol. Apparently my home city (Adelaide) is the drug capital of Australia per capita. Drugs are bad mkay.

The reason I started this thread was not because I wanted to know how people illegally import the cigars, but more to cure my curiosity on what people think of the embargo, and the stigma it gives Cuban cigars in the media.

When you guys talk about an intro post, do you expect me to post a new thread introducing myself or is there an existing thread?

That's funny. Why didn't you ask for our opinions on the embargo then? All I see is questions about methods to obtain illegal cigars, which I'm sure none of us U.S. citizens know a thing about.

Now, I know about the embargo with Cuba and the US.

I'm assuming a lot of you guys are from the states (I'm from Australia) but there is still a huge amount of Cubans being discussed on here, in fact I think majority of the cigars mentioned/reviewed on here are Cubans.

Now my question for all the inhabitants of the US here, how do you 'come about' your Cuban cigars? Here in Australia every smokemart has the major Cubans just behind the counter; Cohibas, Montecristos, RnJ's and so on and so fourth...(not to rub it in). Do you guys simply import them from Canada with switched packaging or what? It's something I've been wondering about since I started to become interested in cigars

Yeah, start your own thread to introduce yourself.

You got me...you sleuth, you.

Well then, lets make this my original post of the thread.

What is everyones thoughts on the embargo? What about the hypocritical way in which it happened (we all know the Kennedy story with the 1200 Upmanns)?

Does the embargo bother many of you guys much? Do you think Cuban cigars would have the stigma they do if they weren't illegal to obtain?

I have one last question, what's the law regarding if you're caught with Cubans in your home, are they confiscated? If some one were to still own cigars from before the embargo, would there be a problem?

Didn't take much sleuthing, smart ass, just the ability to read and comprehend english.
Why don't you try reading some old posts? This subject has been discussed before, more than once.

BTW, I think denver24 has you nailed, you troll, you.

Look, I'm not sure what every one is getting so antsy about. I tried to end the thread after I apologized originally, hence the /thread.

I'm sorry, I'm not trying to pick fights or 'trolling' (had to look that one up). I was only a smart arse in retaliation.

I have repeated what I wanted, I just worded it wrong in the first post. Obviously I don't need tips on smuggling Cubans into the states because I don't live there.

now....

close the thread.

You don't end it. We do.

Yes, but the idea is for you to end unwanted threads. It seems this is kind of unwanted.

I honestly don't mind the embargo at all. I definitely won't mind if it is ever lifted but it leaves Cuban cigars at that "forbidden fruit" status. Makes them that much more of a treat if I ever get to try one. In the mean time there are so many good smokes from other countries to smoke. Others outside the US have made it clear that not all Cuban cigars are the best smokes out there.
