Cigars? Bet slick willie is glad to hear about that.

[Enterprise]

Smoke ‘em if you got ‘em. Hey wait, won’t this anger the anti smoking fascists?

[knarf]

Just in time for HIS retirement from the white mosque.

Cigars???? Did someone say cigars????

[elcid1970]

No commie s*** for me, thanks.

Every sip of Cuban rum would remind me of all the Cubans who drowned trying to reach America in addition to all the political prisoners murdered by Castro who’s a multibillionaire and doesn’t need my filthy capitalist dollars.

So again, no thanks.

[Regulator]

I have a better idea.

Why don’t we dispatch USAF A-10 attack aircraft along with drones from Homestead AFB to destroy what remains of the Castro family and their pathetic military, and then send in a wave of Cuban emigres from Florida under arms.

And then, when that odious regime is gone, we lift the import restrictions.

Bush had no problem doing it to a government 9,000 miles away. How bout we not worry about doing it 90 miles away?

No commie s*** for me, thanks.

You've got nothing made in China?

"WHAT I REALLY NEED IS A GOOD CUBAN CIGAR!"

[PUGACHEV]

Havana Club is extraordinary rum, better than Bacardi’s any day of the week.

[Enterprise]

Before he ends his term he might even allow Americans to purchase those vintage 50’s cars.

[al baby]

ouch two snaps of my fingers

[Trump20162020]

Probably because it's not really America's job to decide who gets to be what foreign country's leader.

Cuba is not threatening us.

[DIRTYSECRET]

Bummer. Political win for O. I was hoping we could get credit for that one. Where are the leftists on tobacco? I bought mine in Belize.

[Buckeye McFrog]

I don’t smoke cigars, but people I know who do tell me that after six decades of Communism, Cuban cigars pretty much suck.

I’ve had Cuban rum. The words I would use to describe it are “faded glory”. It had clearly been good in a prior era, but tasted watered down.

Kirk & Sweeney and Zaya are both far, far better.

As long as WW3 suffers no delays in implementation, IMO this strikes a nice balance in terms of presidential priorities.

[SSS Two]

If only Cuba made a firearm worth a damn, we could have had the trifecta.
