REALLY! I thought it was limitied to possesion in the US. You mean if I go to Mexico on vacation and smoke a Cuban Cigar I can (technically) be prosecuted in the US when I get back?Yeah. We can't even accept them as gifts. No smoking them overseas... no possession of ANY kind.
That's insane.
Ya? I'm with Dru. I thought if we went out of the country and bought one, it was perfectly fine. From what it sounds like, as long as I'm an American citizen, it is illegal for me to smoke one anywhere? Seems like if this was true, they would need some kind of identification when you were buying cubans overseas.
Key word is it is illegal for YOU to smoke one, and only under American law. It is legal under say Canadian law (I think) for an American to smoke a cuban in Canada. The person selling you the cigar doesn't care where you are from, they are not breaking any laws in their county. Hypothetically, say I send an American a Cuban cigar, I cannot be prosecuted. (as far as I know).

A girl phoned me the other day and said ... Come on over, there's nobody home. I went over. Nobody was home.

"Intro:
The United States Treasury Department has tightened its prohibitions against U.S. citizens importing or consuming Cuban cigars.
The department's Office of Foreign Assets Control has announced in a notice posted on the Internet that even Americans licensed to bring back up to $100 worth of Cuban goods will no longer be allowed to include tobacco products in what they carry. Previously, those licensed were exempted from what was otherwise a total import ban on Cuban tobacco products.
The notice also clarifies that Americans are barred from not only purchasing Cuban goods in foreign countries, but also from consuming them in those countries."
Now, I don't know who is going to enforce this overseas. Consider that we have hundreds of thousands of laws on the books in this country and most of them aren't enforced anyway (except those having to do with motor vehicles.)
i dont see why the embargo is still in effect.........all we're doing is making US citizens figure out ways to get cuban products into the US without anyone knowing....who give a fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck if castro is still alive
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.![]()
