I was checking out the duty free stuff in the Greek airport and the folks in the humidor said it is now legal to bring Cubans into the US. Anyone here anything about this??

reminds me of being in Mexico the first time my mom bought some oranges from a little kid while we were in the traffic line to come back into the states...and of course they got taken away at the checkpoint...and all the time my mom was going "but the little kid said it was ok!" lol
