Bownse: Still got cuban cigars 4sale?

I read this and thought of you immediately

I think his real mistake was being a lawyer and getting caught. I assumed
they seized his vehicle also. BTW, whatever happened to your gold wing with
the built in cigar box?

 

Unlike someone else would try to get people to think, I never have sold
any Cuban cigars. Any I have had the pleasure of smoking have been gifts
for personal consumption. The law in question doesn't address posession,
simply purchase and/or importing. Since non-US citizens can bring them
in as they see fit (delegates for personal use or as gifts, etc.) and
people on approved trips to Cuba (via the State Dept.) can bring back up
to $100 in Cuban items simply posession within the US isn't necessarily
a crime. It would depend on how they were obtained.

As such, those gifted "pleasures" have been very rare in my experience.
I suspect that guy's problem was that he was acting in the roll of a
commercial importer. The quantity and the fact he imported them for
profit were bound to increase the odds of him getting caught and, once
caught, prosecuted.

"Project Wing-O-Dor" was an 84 GL1200 project that I documented years
ago on one of my first web sites. I resurrected the page because it was
so fun and unique. It's undergone a facelift to match the rest of the
new site, but the content remains as it was back then; a little
flippant, a lot of fun.
