Important question re:Cuba and the US embargo.
Will Cuban cigars still taste better than others if they are ever legally sold here in the states?

I suggest "no". Just like drinking lost half of it's allure after I turned 21, I bet that if we could ever get Cuban cigars here they would become pedestrian.

1. I don't smoke cigars but the
best cup of coffee I ever had was in Cameguey, Cuba back in the dark ages.

2. It may be a LONG time until you find out. I read a note on CNN this AM
stating that Negroponte has stated that NOTHING will change just because Fidel resigned the Presidency.

6. Then perhaps you should peruse other threads...

Why take the time to post on a subject you find "boring" when there's a site full of other, more interesting, posts out there?

7. Sorry, it was the question about Cuba and the embargo that got
my attention, I've long thought it was unfair and hurtful to the cuban people. I didn't mean to offend.

8. NP...it sounded like the typical anti-smoking stuff we sometimes see here...
I agree that the title didn't specify.
