Ah, that. There are a lot of things that come from Cuba that we can't get
here - what with that pesky trade embargo we placed on Castro back in what,
the 60s? Definately a special case in which, yes, it's illegal to buy from
them (and arguably it's illegal to even buy and smuggle in via a third party
like Amazon.UK -- if you had done it back in the 70's with, say, cigars,
everyone on this list would have been in trouble as an accomplice after the
fact in a Federal felony. Thank goodness we're living in more enlightended
time -- oh wait...)
