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.
