Personally, I wouldn't buy any cigar rolled in Cuba. I'm a bit of a girlie-man when it comes to violating some laws.

Cuban Assets Control Regulations, 31 C.F.R. Part 515, are administered and enforced by the Office of Foreign Assets Control. Criminal penalties for violation of the Regulations can go as high as $1 million for corporations, and $250,000 for individuals plus up to 10 years in prison. In addition, civil penalties of up to $65,000 per violation can be imposed by OFAC.

It is illegal for a US citizen to buy Cuban products anywhere in the world. So even though you are out of country you still can not taste the forbidden fruit.

Here's a link to the US Treasury Department for more information.

There was an article in Cigar Aficionado over the summer regarding the Treasury Dept. stepping up enforcement in recent years. I avoid buying them because of the few Cuban's I've had given to me, I haven't found one worth up to $250,000.
