Technically, unless you give up your U.S. citizenship, going to Mexico and buying a Habano is still illegal.

It's legal for Americans to smoke a Habano only if no money changes hands.

Basically, our Cuban embargo works a lot like prostitution. It's legal if its free, illegal if you pay for it.


(Thanks in advance to everyone who replies with speculation about me and prostitutes.)

Unfortunately, that is not correct. Even a gratuitous Cuban cigar is illegal for a US citizen to posses anywhere on earth.

[designwise1]

Yeah. We can't even accept them as gifts. No smoking them overseas... no possession of ANY kind.

Sorry to burst your bubble, but that's the way it is.

You are mistaken. There are plenty of LEGAL ways for Americans to smoke a Cuban cigar.

If you are delivering medical supplies or charitable aid to Cuba, the Office of Overseas Assets will give you permission to spend money in Cuba. This still does not allow importation of Cuban products into the U.S., but it allows Americans in Cuba to spend money (even on cigars).

Citizens with family members living in Cuba can go visit their relatives every five or six years. They can spend money while there.

Journalists and anyone else with a constitutionally-protected reason to go to Cuba can bring back 100 cigars per excursion for personal consumption. This is how Dave Letterman got his -- CBS reporters in Cuba.

And, yes, if someone gives you a Cuban cigar as a gift while outside America, you can smoke it without any worries. The Cuba embargo is enforced by the Department of the Treasury, not the State Department. You can consume Cuban-made products without purchasing them.

Furthermore, THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO RESTRICTION ON TRAVEL TO CUBA. The only restriction is spending money. Since Cuba charges $50 for a visa, that's why most people cannot go.

Here in my home town, lots of people go to Cuba regularly -- hell, you can sail there in about 3 hours. Once in port, the visa is paid for (illegally) and stamped on an index card. When these illegal visitors leave Cuba, they toss the index card. When stopped by the Coast Guard and asked what they were doing in Cuban waters, they answer, "Fishing."
Naturally, if any Cuban goods are found, the boat owners are in deep ka-ka (they'll lose their boat, and it gets worse from there).
