Interesting site SFG75. Thanks for the positive addition to the forum. Keep'em coming.

When I find any more information on the Cuban Cigar issues I will be sure to pass them along.

"Positive addition to the fourm" nice joke there jrewing. If you think discussing politics on a cigar forum is a "positive addition" then you are sadly mistaken because all that will do is lead to trouble.

Here's another goodie-some propaganda from the Cuban gov, but interesting historical sites and art.

Also found an explanation behind the meaning of the Cuban flag.

In 1850 what was to become the definitive national symbol was hoisted for the first time. Encapturing simplicity and perfect harmony, it combines three colours, red, white and blue, to form the Cuban flag: three blue stripes - the states in which the island was divided at that time - two white stripes - the force of the idealistic independence fighter - , a red triangle - representing equality, fraternity and liberty, and at the same time, the blood which had to be spillt during the battles for independence - and a white star, alone - as a symbol of the absolute liberty between other nations - these are what characterise its beautiful design.

Would it be illegal if I bought a cuban in canada, lets say, and bring it to the united states for my enjoyment, would that be illegal?

Answer:

There is a total ban on the importation into the United States of Cuban-origin cigars and other Cuban-origin tobacco products. This prohibition extends to such products acquired in Cuba, irrespective of whether a traveler is licensed by Office of Foreign Asset Controls (OFAC) to engage in Cuba travel-related transactions, and to such products acquired in third countries by any U.S. Traveler, including purchases at duty-free shops. Contrary to what many people may believe, it is illegal for travelers to bring into the United States Cuban cigars acquired in third countries, such as Canada, England, or Mexico.

Answer:

Can anyone answer this one for me? I know that celebrities can get Cubans and smoke them at their leisure without fear of reprisal. But how can Michael Jordan, in the latest CA magazine, admit to smoking them without the law coming down on him??
