I was arrested briefly for "trading with the enemy," but since I was a working journalist, they unarrested me. I also brought back a liter of Wolf's Head, a very black and delicious rum. However the rules are that you can bring them back from Cuba. I don't know if that applies to coming from Canada. My son brought Cuban cigars from Paris with no problem. I don't know about smoking them on the spot. I had some Spanish ham confiscated coming out of Germany, and they wouldn't let me eat it! from my iPad Sonny Carter > On Nov 25, 2015, at 3:50 PM, Herbert Kanner <kanner at acm.org> wrote: > > Great pic.
