Leaving the seat up is not illegal. It's impolite.

Despite what everyone here says, smoking an occasional Gurk is not illegal.

Unless you are traveling to and from Cuba, I do not believe that anything has changed at this time.

If US citizens coming from Cuba are allowed $100 worth of cigars how is illegal to possess them and smoke them?

previously, it was technically against the embargo for a US citizen to smoke a cuban outside of US. Don't know how the new $400 USD of goods back from cuba with $100 being tobacco/alcohol impacts. In a little bit of time when folks are in fact traveling Cuba/US regularly with the new policy, it would be difficult to say that someone obtained a CC from an illegal source as it could have been brought into the country legally and gifted/traded/sold.

While the product can no longer be necessarily considered contraband, due to the president's edict, nothing else has changed to make it legal to purchase the cigars unless you are visiting the island and you are limited to one hundred dollars worth of tobacco products, nothing else has changed in the law. The embargo is the current law of the land.

Before 2004 you could bring back some stuff from Cuba. Then Bush happened. Between 2004 and 2014 any Cuban cigars (or anything at all) in the US were illegal, end of story. If it was a Cuban product of any kind, it could not be anywhere on US soil. Period. Since 2014 it's back to the old $100, $400 etc.

Now, if you see someone walking down the street smoking a Behike, it could be legal. Whereas for the past decade, it couldn't have.
