    Yes Carl, I agree - it's hard to get good rum in the USA (and good beer for that matter!). That's why Canada is the only alternative choice!
    I on the other hand, like to sit back with a nice hand rolled Cuban cigar and a Cuban Libre while watching the wildlife in my yard - I know what you're thinking - wasting that NICE rum watering it down with coke!!!
    As for the Cuban Coffee - don't care that much for it - although my son loves the sugar packets I bring back for him - "best sugar in the world" he says!

    Kinda ironic that you're enjoying a Cuba Libre made with products whose purchase will tend to delay that event. Maybe you should call it a Cuba Opresa.

    ahem - excuse moi - I purchase these products IN Cuba - maybe not the coke, but all the others - yes...but we produce coke in Canada by Canadian companies - coke being the general term for the product.....doesn't have to be the actual brand name you know....
    And - any Cuban rum or other Cuban spirits sold in Canada are also purchased properly and legally by our importers - at least some countries are actually helping Cuba, not raping it or waiting with baited breath for an oppertunity TO take advantage of the country.
    If you (general term here) take a closer look, our country aids Cuba in many ways and has greatly improved the infrastructure there.
    Unfortunately, it was the usual pillaging and plundering of another country (whose name I won't mention here) that led to Cuba's demise and to be honest, they're probably a better country for having broken off THAT relationship....

    You (being the general word here again) could learn a lot of good things from them by looking beyond the oppression.
    Heck - many could even learn about health care....
