A lot of people that are new to the cigar world are under the wrong impression that Cuban cigars are totally illegal in the US. Many people assume that the distribution of Cuban cigars on U.S. soil is illegal. The truth of the matter is, even though there are certain restrictions placed on the importation of cigars from Cuba, there is no outright law forbidding the presence of Cuban cigars. Recently the Department of Justice altered the original embargo on Cuban products, allowing limited amounts of Cuban cigars to be brought back from licensed trips to Cuba. That law has been expanded to include personal quantities, up to two boxes, for personal use. This means that if you know someone going to on an official trip to Cuba, you have the chance to get your hands on some nice Cuban cigars. However don’t worry, you can still benefit from this without having to go shake Fidel’s hand. Although there is actually no law governing the importation of Cuban cigars for personal use, fines are a rare occurrence and many private settings that sell Cuban cigars, such as hotels or casinos, have experienced little or no problems over the years. The point here is that people should no shy away from finding the best cigars prices for their Cubans locally since the odds are in their favor.
