Big news for the CL!

It appears that you can now bring in $100 of Cuban tobacco and alcohol products from abroad.

Interestingly enough, I was on my way to a cigar bar (outside the USA) to blaze up a Cuban Montecristo when I saw the news on the TV nearby.

And yes, part of the allure of Cuban cigars is that they were the forbidden fruit here in the USA, however I really do notice a difference in quality vs. Dominican stuff.

One thing to watch for is fake Cuban cigars, now more than ever. They are not really going to be commercially available yet and some places will try to sell you re-ringed lesser quality stuff now that it can be in the humidor legally.

Just a quick favor, can anyone help me verify that this executive order is already in place? I may try and bring some back with me.
