MIAMI — Attention U.S. travelers going abroad: You now can bring home all the Cuban rum and cigars you want.

The Obama administration announced Friday a new round of executive actions designed to increase trade and travel with the communist island. And this is the one many Americans have been waiting for — no more restrictions on the island's famed rum and cigars.

Under the new rules, which go into effect Monday, travelers can purchase unlimited quantities of Cuban rum and cigars in any country where they are sold so long as they are for personal consumption. Sorry American couch potatoes: You can't order Cuban rum and cigars online and have them shipped to your home.

You now can bring home all the Cuban rum and cigars you want!

That will create a huge black market, especially in Florida.

Is this his greatest move as POTUS?

Capitalistic exploitation of an isolated nation...

In, and yeah, everywhere else I go, I always smoke a cuban.

That 50 year embargo created a market that has exceeded the quality of Cuban products.

Alright so now Cubans are for the average joe. What's the next banned cigar to try and procure? Is there one made with bits of panther in it, so you know it's good?

This. The only reason Cuban cigars are a hot commodity is they were forbidden fruit for so long. But now, others have taken the Cuban seeds and have improved upon the quality of the tobacco.

Honduras and the Dominicans have surpassed the Cubans in quality.

I was wondering if there had to be tobacco inside the leaf, or if I could substitute with some home grown. I've had some Hawaiian strains up here, but never actual Maui Wowie. But my Mango Tango is pretty much finished curing, so I'll probably go with that.
