Well, come to realize how "out of the mainstream"...or at least the party stream... I've been for a long time. Interesting aroma's out and about this evening. Hello Denver!
Who'da thunk, huh?
And that was just walking from the restaurant to the hotel...
Oh, hell. We've got two shops in Buckley, Washington...less than half a mile from my house, as the crow flies.
Unfortunately it's harder to bring back souvenirs than Cuban cigars....
Especially since the embargo's been lifted.
Well, yes and no. You still can't buy them retail, it's just no longer illegal to carry them in.
I thought I heard that you can also now legally buy them in other countries and bring them in without the $100 limit.
Yes, but you can't buy them direct, or internet.
Allegedly ... wink, wink. Do you think there's any connection between the administration putting the regulation of premium aged hand rolled cigars under the FDA bureaucracy, whose regulations will kill or severely cripple the boutique cigar industry (founded much by Cuban émigrés who fled their homeland when Castro took over (stole) their lands, factories, businesses and fled to Dominican Republic, Honduras and Nicaragua with Cuban seed and generations of knowledge of growing, curing, fermenting & aging tobacco and rolling cigars) in order to pave the way to re-introduce Cuban (still under Marxist Communist rule) to the U.S. market? Anybody?
