Cuban Cigars

I am sure that you, the well informed citizen of the United States that you are, already knew that it was illegal for you to buy Cuban cigars in your own country. Perhaps you noticed that they were never for sale in the finer cigar shops of your larger cities? Or perhaps you followed the scandal of noted conservative commentator Rush Limbaugh, who supposedly bought Cuban cigars through back channels.

What I am sure you did not know, and I am sure of this becuase I did not know it myself, is that it is illegal for you to ever buy Cuban cigars. According to a new State Department regulation, you as a US citizen cannot buy Cuban cigars in Canda or Mexico or Cuba, even though you are outside of US jurisdicition. Can the United States regulate the behavior of its citizens abroad? I would not have thought so but perhaps not for any very good reasons. This seems like a pretty mean-spirited and unenforceable law.

Its real difficult to find whether the particular Cuban cigars are real on not until you smoke them but if you want to be sure you are getting right thing you should always buy them from genuine retailer.
