Back in the day again, we had lots of tourism a few years ago and of course due to the rona we aren't shuttling anymore travel there. I do like those big leafy cigars though and that is about it. I wonder what other crops they can cultivate in Cuba better than other places the way tobacco does
My take on this is that you're good at being argumentative. Who would've thunk it?
There is a big difference between arguing and debating. An argument is a verbal battle between people, a debate is only ever about the topic.
Whenever we go to the Caribbean I come back with a box of Cuban cigars and honestly, the quality has declined greatly. At the same time, other regions are making killer cigars. IMHO, not many Habanos can stand up to the likes of a Padron 1926 with Maduro wrapper out of Nicaragua.
Right. An argument is a series of statements intended to establish a position; whereas a debate is a regulated discussion between two matched sides. I never fail to learn something useful from Monty Python.There is a big difference between arguing and debating. An argument is a verbal battle between people, a debate is only ever about the topic.
False. Unless you're counting the pandemic, Cuba has been a popular vacation spot for Europeans, Pacific Asians and Canadians for years
If you're purchasing "Cuban" cigars while traveling in the Caribbean, there's a high chance they are fake. I haven't detected a significant drop in the quality of authentic Cuban cigars. If you're smoking fakes, then yeah, there would be a huge drop.
"Feel good"? Yes but, the embargo is in place to ensure votes from those "feeling good" Cuban-Americans and that, for politicians, is a serious consideration.
The US is no longer makes the world safe for democracy. But in that heyday, Cuba made our backyard Red, earning the Embargo to contain that spread.
So no one will touch lifting the Embargo lest they be judged soft on Communism and disbelievers in the American Way.

I have done this returning to the US from flights coming from China, Mexico, and Spain, with Customs finding my stash and confirming the same. The customs agent said "Cubans, nice choice!" and wished me on my way.
It's also on the customs website.
Unless it has changed recently, you can now bring Cuban cigars inn from out of country. Quantity is ambiguous.
Exactly. Fakes are everywhere and finding their way into more hands.
By the way I'd like to recommend this film, Cuba and the Cameraman, on Netflix. I hate typing on a cellphone so I'll be brief but the wife and I found it absolutely heartwarming. It was about Cuba, yes, but quickly transcended into something much broader and universally human.
I know the fake ones (and my family members have unwittingly purchased them for me twice). These are real, sealed package, with correct pressed into the box stamps and Cuban seal and barcode.
Hahaha. Reminds me of the Monty Python Argument Clinic sketchThere is a big difference between arguing and debating. An argument is a verbal battle between people, a debate is only ever about the topic.
That's a big hack for the gift shops at the airports in Mexico...all fake maybe yeah, last-minute grab and customs will not be happy to see them if anyone gets checked, never bring them back to the U.S. in a carry-on, likely too late if you've checked your bags in lol.
