I am very confused about the whole $100 worth of tobacco / alcohol limit as I thought I had read somewhere it was only for American visitors who were licensed to go to Cuba, not just the general population. I am hoping that is not the case, but the US Customs website still lists an outright ban on cigars. Perhaps they will update their website tomorrow. http://www.usatoday.com/story/money/busi...ation/20535041/

That story refers to "approved travelers", so I have to assume that it will only be legal for those who can legally travel to Cuba to bring back cigars and liquor.

Right now you can only bring back $100 worth of Cuban cigars if you travel to Cuba only. From SXM or any other country but Cuba, nothing has changed.

OK, and you have to qualify as an 'approved' visitor to Cuba? That's what I thought..

Your only chance to find them (Macanudos)on the island is at the Cigar Emporium on Front Street in P'Burg. The other tobacconists stick almost exclusively to Cubans.
