A good smoke

I do not consider myself to be a smoker but I do enjoy a handful of cigars every year.  Today is a perfect day to sit outside with a beer and a good cigar.  But, no matter how much I'd like to I am not able to enjoy a cuban cigar. 

I have long questioned the embargo.  It is a perfect example of special interest politics.  Especially now that Florida has taken such a critical role in presidential elections neither party wants to do anything to risk angering cuban voters.

My dad was in a bunker under mortar fire in Vietnam the day I was born. It sure seems to me that if we can trade with Vietnam we should be able to trade with Cuba.
