Okay, so I’ve always been curious about Cuban cigars. You hear about them all the time, how they’re supposedly the best, the forbidden fruit, blah blah blah. I wanted to see if all the hype was real and, more importantly, if I could even get my hands on them here in the US. So, I started digging.
First, I hit up some online forums. Figured I’d see what other people’s experiences were. Man, was that a rabbit hole! Lots of conflicting info, some people saying it’s totally cool, others saying you’ll get thrown in jail. It was a mess.
After the forums, I decided to check the actual, official rules. You know, the government websites. That stuff is usually dense and boring, but I needed to get the straight facts.
What I Found Out
Turns out, things have changed a bit over the years. It used to be super strict, like, no Cuban anything, ever. But it’s loosened up.
- It’s a little complicated about buying them to resell, but it looks like you can get them for personal use.
So, with that info, I felt a little more confident. Not gonna lie, I was still a bit nervous.
I decided, I ordered them online.
I was pretty excited waiting for them to show up!
Finally,they showed up at my door!
So, there you have it. From confused to enjoying a cigar, that was my journey. It’s definitely doable, just takes a bit of research and knowing where to look!
