Now, Cuban cigars? *That would be smuggling... but oh
so much more profitable. I just heard recently of a
cruiser who raided a junkyard and brought a boatload
of parts for those old American cars some Cubans still
drive... common pieces practically worthless in the
States. Gave the car parts away as gifts when he got
there. Came back with a few gifts they gave in return.
No money changed hands (which would have violated US
law). Interesting.
