I’m always saying “I enjoy a good cuban now and then”, though people know I actually mean the cigar… or at least I -think- they do?!? (LOL) I have to say, I’ve tried a few Dominican brands and while they aren’t cubans, they are acceptably good and readily available, but I’m one to want the things I cannot have it seems.
Call me selfish, but Isn’t it time we lifted the embargo on Cuba so I can indulge whenever the mood strikes me? I mean yeah, there’s that whole repressive regime thing going on and all, but if we can buy our oil from the Saudi’s, why can’t I have my cigars?!?

Domino: Guilty pleasure are to be enjoyed in moderation...
Domino: Every now and then I enjoy a good cuban...
Domino: They are hard to get your hands on, but when you do...
Raul: Do I remove all my clothes for the massage Senor Ino?
Domino: Whatever makes you comfortable Raul!

Raul: Do I remove all my clothes for the massage Senor Ino?
Domino: Whatever makes you comfortable Raul!
Literally: What should I do to eliminate all my clothes for the massage Mr. Ino?
Good luck with your cuban, Domino!!! LOL.
Heh Jynksie, parading all those women last week and springing this on us this week!
No, Raul, for the sake of our eyes, keep them on.
I don't prefer THAT kind of cuban myself, you can't light em up and smoke em!! LOL
What-ever-do-you-mean?!? *grin* …. in this tough economy, Domino has to use all his talents to make an extra buck and a massage therapist is one of his side jobs don't ya know?!? Besides, Domino is “European”, whatever THAT means! LOL
Gotta love the fu manchu though, no?!?
This is hilarious, Jynksie! Especially since I can translate a lil' Espanol.
My Mother-In-Law took a trip to Cuba a few years ago… she said several regular folks commented to her about lifting the embargo. She said they were very nice and hospitable.
How did she find her way to Cuba? We (USA) can't go to Cuba?!? Can we?!? Did I miss a memo??? I mean, I know you can sneak in via flying from outside the country and the Cuban inspectors don't stamp your passport as to alert U.S. custom agents (most of the time) upon return home… the fines alone make it not worth the effort and I'd have little place to hide any Cubans I brought back with me!!
I fully translated it below in the blurbs section anywhoo for those not in the know! I figured it really didn't matter what Raul was saying, sincet it was self evident (at least I hope) what the gag was!! LOL
You're right, Jynks… we can't really go to Cuba, except through foreign countries… I do remember seeing the terminal for Cuban Airlines when we were coming back from Mexico a few years back.
She's a freelance fund raiser for non-profits… her organization arranged a special trip to Cuba for a bunch of her compadres in the field… they got permission from the US government, I believe. She didn't bring back any cigars, but she did bring back some liquor, and a nifty cinema magazine she picked up at a Cuban flea market.
Where is the translation?
If you look at the bottom of the comic blurb above, you'll see a thin rectangle box that says “Transcript”. Click on it and it has the text of the comic.
I've never had a Cuban. I keep hearing how great they are, so one of these days I'll get some smuggled in to try. Better than those Peru's?
I've never had a Peruvian myself, but I've been told most South Americans are sub par. Domicians, Hondurans, Nicaraguans and Costa Ricans would be far superior if you have a hankering!

I've been to Little Havana many times in Miami, thats as close as I've been able to get. However, I love the cuban culture down there, I love the food and I LOVE-LOVE-LOVE the music!
I work for Customs, so I cannot tell you how to do it, but these two things are correct:
1) People do it
2) They are not supposed to
I will not disclose my personal thoughts about the embargo, since I am in no position to affect policy, but only enforce it.
Now I know when you come back from a trip, you are allowed “x” ounces (or is it bottles of?) of alcohol to be brought through customs (assuming they check). What would be the official rule/guideline on cuban cigars being brought back, from say, Aruba?
