  • BOTL UPCOMING MAINTENANCE

    Hi Everyone, as mentioned in my introduction post, BOTL needs quite a bit of updating, patching and whatever else I might come across. Over the next few weekends BOTL may be unreachable on occasion as I do migrations or updates, etc. Just be patient - we'll be back! I'll generally try to keep these maintenances until later in the evenings.

Actually, according to the language used in fines imposed by OFAC, it very may well be argued that it is indeed illegal.

"One individual was assessed a penalty totaling **** for allegedly dealing in property in which Cuba or a Cuban national had an interest"

If the roller is indeed a Cuban national AND is being paid to roll that cigar then the argument can certainly be made that the roller is a Cuban national that has interest in the cigars being rolled and purchased in the USA. (Regardless of the origin of the Tobacco.)

Not that I care if it is illegal or not. Just making the arguement that it indeed could be illegal. :wink:
