cuba seems to be selling all the cigars it makes all over the world. as everyone knows, cuban cigars are available on the internet from spain, honk kong and many other legit places. all these new laws are designed to try to destroy the castro regime, but cuba's economy is not dependent on their cigar sales to the usa, so the laws are political ploys that serve no real benifit to the usa.
what sticks in the craw of politicians about cuba is stupid and i don't understand these boycots that are not doing all that much anyway, except we can't sell fords and chevy's in cuba.
cubans living in florida or anywhere else in this country are having their ability to visit relatives in cuba curtailed, because as i heard one congressman say, they bring a lot of money into cuba and help the economy of this country where child prostitution runs rampant. this is such BS, i only mention it as an example.
i really could give a rat's ass about cuba personally, although i know they do have a 100% literacy rate and regardless of what kind of medical treatment they get, because we don't know the qualifications of their doctors, every one has medical coverage and the mortality rate for child birth is better in cuba then here.
add to all this is the fact that, in spite of all the hype, cuban cigars are not the be all and the end all of cigars. the DR makes cigars every bit as good as anything cuba can make. cuban cigars are over rated and over priced. before the embargo, when excellent cigars were not being rolled in other parts of the world, cuban cigars amounted to less then 25% of cigars smoked in this county.
the forbidden fruit is not as sweet as it is
touted to be.
