Hypocrisy. I'll give this one to him because he probably didn't get to smoke all of them. Unless he was the inventor of The Lewinsky......

As a cigar lover, Kennedy's Cuban embargo remains one of the blackest blemishes on his record, at least in my eyes. Can you imagine how prices would fall if the "leaders" in Washington had the courage and the moral clarity to reverse this idiotic policy?

Yep, he liked Romeo and Juliet coronas.

Cigars? No. Disarming our country is quite a bit worse, in my opinion.

WTF?

[kill the banks]

ha a few cigars ... frankly I wouldn't lay the UN thing on him esp back in that day ... he was getting to see the people around him were not the greatest and got to the 1000 pieces stage ... he was a fallen man but I lived it and he wanted the best for us ... talking to Kruschev was the way to go but the war complex wanted cuba and you got the Vietnam war later

interesting read is JFK and the unspeakable (audible has it as well)

[musicmax]

So that's where Bill & Monica got 'em.

JFK left a humidor full in the Resolute Desk.

Honestly, I think the embargo is working. Castro will give up any day now. (TIC)

On the real, Cuban cigars are no where near the quality of Nicaragua and others I have smoked. The Cubans have gone to shit the past 8 to 10 years.

Not really surprising they're all hypocrites

Who gives a crap about some cigars.
Read the F N book.
