(Yes, I understand that people in the US can't import from Cuba, but it is legal here.)

Crazy stuff...

Having had a number of friends move to or return to the US recently, we've taken to giving a Cuban cigar as a parting gift.

I'm glad to see that York Coffee Emporium are still going though! Last I heard was that the shop near the minster had closed, so I had assumed they'd gone bust. They were always really good about letting you buy little samplers of the beans rather than the ubiquitous 250g bags found everywhere else!

I can only imagine that reasonably soon the US embargo on everything Cuba will be lifted. There are less restrictions than there used to be at least.
