As a general rule I avoid Wolf Blitzer's Situation Room on CNN, but the lead in happened to mention the Cuban embargo and Cigar Aficionado.

Apparently someone at CNN is an avid reader as the transcript of the broadcast can attest:

SNOW: But buying a Cuban cigar can carry a penalty of up to 10 years in prison, a fine of $250,000 for individuals and $1 million for corporations. "Cigar Aficionado" magazine is calling to end the ban, and it's slamming the U.S. government for wasting resources in tracking down violators, saying in an editorial, "With the Castro era ending soon, the United States is in a position to influence the course of events in Cuba. Stop wasting our time and money chasing cigar smokers."

It's good to see someone is taking notice, even if it is just Wolf Blitzer.

Great Issue Gentlemen!

Thanks for the heads up, and for the kind words about the Cuba issue.
