Perhaps when you leave US jurisdiction, you are no longer a person subject to the jurisdiction of the US for that time, despite being a US citizen and intending to return to said jurisdiction?

Sounds like in Canada, the new law, if you do anything outside of the country, that would be illegal in the country, you can be charged for it (aimed at pedophiles, but as usual written so broadly that it can be and has been used against other issues)

To add: I just got back from eight days in the Philippines. It was actually very refreshing to not hear about that shitstain Obama everytime the TV was on (not that I watched it much). Actually, it was nice to see how the US was not the center of attention to the rest of the world.
Don't get me started on how my welcome back to the US was through Atlanta CBP. What a bunch of bad-attitude affirmative action hire-tards that was. And what a shitty example of the USA to give to the rest of the world. . . fat-assed Shaniqua giving surly directions to tiny Koreans off a direct flight from Seoul . . . 'turn off yo' cell phone'. Actually, I am ashamed at times to be associated with the USA after seeing what shitstains man the front lines. We're doomed, and deservedly.

I rarely smoke them, but I did get a Cuban from Castro's stash several years ago. A friend's dad made a trip to Cuba along with a group of his friends. When they were boarding the plane to return, Castro was there and gave them all a box of Cuban cigars. When he got back, I got one.

Yes, it is technically illegal for a US citizen or company to trade, gift and/or receive Cuban made products. Is the law going to be enforced against an individual purchasing Cuban cigars overseas, chances are no. On the other hand, if a US company purchase a large quantity of Nickel (anther Cuban export) and resold to another country (company), yes, want to bet DHS will try to go after the company. BTW, the enforcement of the Cuban Embargo is done thru ICE, which is part of DHS. When you buy Cuban cigars, coffee, and rum overseas, watch out for fakes, which there are lots. BTW, you are aware we have a Humidor section with Arfcom, and you are always welcome to join us for some lively cigar and pipe discussion. |

In Jebel Ali UAE, on the pier, AAFES had a number of vendors set up and one of those was a cigar shop selling Cubans. I had Marines trying to claim Cuban cigars on their customs forms when we were on the way into Hawaii. I told them to take them to the smoke deck and fire them up or toss them overboard, you can't claim a Cuban cigar on your customs form. I believe they were selling them at one of the vendors aboard the base in Bahrain too. |

When you find a cigar store in the US that sells real Cubans, let us know. Besides, the quality of Cuban cigars has been eclipsed by other countries years ago. In fact, when Castro was taking over, the fleeing cigar makers took a shitload of seeds with them. That is why you see some of the same cigar names inside and outside Cuba. The cultivation, curing and manufacture of quality cigars outside of Cuba is now every bit as good as the "original". The premium price you pay is because you can't have them. |
