>Oh yea.... I guess you ( or should I say youse) guys don't have a trade embargo with Cuba do you?

Only the US has an embargo.

>So... would it be illegal for a programming bud to send a state side friend a sample or two? I wonder..... I like the small thin ones. Cigars that is! :)
>I bet it is illegal to sent it.

I looked into this. It is illegal for anyone to bring cuban goods into the US. The exception is that if you are a cuban-american and you can bring a small personal amount of goods back from a trip there.
