Official Policy on Cuban Cigars

[SFG75]

Very wise policy there hex. While some folks don't care much about politics and what not, it's fair to say that most cigar smokers find what occurs in Cuba to be interesting in what it portends for the hobby.

I've found this Canadian website that keeps up to date information on the exile community, as well as human rights issues that Cuba faces under Castro. Not a whole lot on cigars, but an interesting read nevertheless. It'll be interesting to see how things shake out in the future for Cuba.

Will you knock off your political crap? Your political BS is not allowed on CigarPass and should not be allowed here. Of course you've been banned from CigarPass so never mind

We don't give a crap about your bleeding heart human rights issues, this is a cigar board. Go bore your political BB buddies with this BS.

jrewing, please feel free to chime in at any point here and remind ole Scotty Boy that this is a CIGAR BOARD and not a place for politics but odds are you won't agree with me on this one.

Please Scotty, JUST GO AWAY

"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?
