Why are cuban cigars banned in the states?
<p>I was watching the "bubble boy" episode of Seinfeld lololololol. When Kramer was making a deal with the Cuban Embassy for cigars it made me wonder why on earth would something like cigars be illegal in some areas. Please enlighten me if you know, thanks.

because back in the 60ies during the cuban missile crisis kennedy emposed an embargo on all cuban products and it’s still in place today..

I think it has to do with the Cuban Missile situation a few years back and the bad relations between America and Cuba, no trading deals something like that.

American Presidents are too scared of the Cuban exile vote in Florida to lift what has been a monumental, almost 50-year long policy failure in the blockade against Cuba.

just did a speach on it in UNI.
yep. No trading with Cuba. But you can go to Canada and smoke one. they have them in most smoke shops. Just don’t bring it back to the US.

It was indeed because of the trade embargo that Cuban cigars stopped being sold in the USA. Also during the crisis most all of the tobacco fields were burned buy the farmers themselves as they left the country for Nicaragua and this is now where the majority of good high quality cigars come from. You can still get Cuban’s in the US if you purchase them through another country even though they are still officially banned here. Even so they are not the level of quality they were known for "back in the day" as it will take many more years before the tobacco is as good as it once was.
