I'm very pleased that Obama lifted the restrictions on Cuban cigars and rum.

Unfortunately, you've still gotta go get them in person and bring them back yourself - still can't order and have them shipped to you, and (technically) anything anyone brings back is supposed to be only for personal use and not for resale...
No resale not an issue for me and Cuba isn't the only place you can buy Cuban cigars and rum

I always wondered the same thing Chizzy. Do people just overhype Cuban products because they weren't available?
Many do, that "forbidden fruit" aspect is usually most of the appeal.

But for those who have a particular taste/preference, making that easier to obtain and have more often is usually a good thing.

Some Cuban cigars are far superior to cigars from other countries. Most people who say Cubans are no better have probably only smoked fakes, which are everywhere. And Chizzy smokes fucking Nub cigars, so that's all you really need to know about that.

A Cuban Bolivar Belicosos Fino is one of the finest cigars you will ever smoke. Period!
