This is not about tobacco, it is about the rank, stinking hypocrisy in government and the media.

Paging Monica Lewinsky.

Unless Big Tobacco gets shook down for cash - either willingly or unwillingly.

--and then there is the pro-marijuana lobby-

-as Wm. F. Buckley pointed out (maybe not an exact quote, but close),"the same portion of the political spectrum that would make smoking tobacco a felony , would like to make smoking marijuana mandatory"--

“...If the media were going to be consistent...”

LOL...that’s a good one.

There is NOTHING in Cuba that Americans (and others) can’t get elsewhere or produce, themselves.

Cuba is ONLY tourism.

Why they thought they could kill the goose that laid the golden egg and STILL survive ONLY as a manufacturing (what?) or a sugar producing country, when anything THEY could manufacture was produced outside Cuba and sugar was available everywhere else .... is beyond me!

Fidel and Che had about as much economy smarts as your average tree slug. AND put the whole country behind the 8 ball for decades.

It was ONLY about BS Marxist ideology and POWER... for Fidel and Che... and their cronies. Typical Liberal drivel.

From another aspect, news is activism. But, as demonstrated here, it’s pointless activism for the sake of activism. Other than the liberal shiny thing du jour, “news” is about generating controversy, argument and sales. There really is no “news.” It’s just fluff to sell toothpaste, Depends, and beer.

If it were Bush, the media would’ve taken out all the mouth, lip, tongue, lung and gum cancer photos and paraded them 24/7.

[Gaffer]

Just imagine what the taxes will be on a real Cuban cigar in NYC, LA, SEATTLE or Boston.

[Crazieman]

I’m not even allowed to smoke on my own hirise apartment balcony.

[RayChuang88]

Only one thing though: the world has discovered better alternatives from Central America, especially since Central American cigar producers have access to better technology.
