As far as confusing, I agree. I have seen numerous posts around here over the past several months, especially negative comments about the current POTUS... I did not see you nor anyone for that matter, ask this question when those appeared. Perhaps you did not see them... Perhaps no one read them but me...! Funny how that works! -LOL I need not rationalize my comments to anyone except one that administrates the site. Yet, a previous comment made mention of a socialist in the white house, presumably about Bernie Sanders (an assumption) and I found error in it. Progressive/socialist leanings have been present in the USA for 100 years. Progressive/socialist positions are, in my opinion not about party or country. You see, I don't just pick on Cuba! As one that draws flack for 'disparaging' Cuba, I thought that I might set the record straight, that Cuban tyranny is not my only hot button, but rather political tyranny regardless of State, mine included. This comment was in fact a means by which I attempt to level the playing field. I understand that my intent was not completely obvious. You may know that my position is one of a general dislike for socialism. I don't hold my country above others in that it is immune to 'my' criticism. I recognize that as a potential infraction of the rules. I therefore recognize your concern. While my statement may in fact be an infraction, it was deeper than USA politics, it was a statement about how I view things. The comment therefore was not designed to be a US political comment... but a general political comment where I clarified to some that I am not anti-Cuban, a statement levied on me many times on this site. You can find many partisan US political comments on this site, and if you are keeping tabs and doing followup on infractions, can you include those in your report as well please! If someone is going to keep tabs, it would be nice to know that it is not done in a partisan fashion... As a matter of fact, it would be nice if you would make an equally rude comment on this thread. Now that it has been brought to your attention, I look forward to seeing your application of the rules 'accounting by Jeanff' applied impartially!!! Oh, I made mention that US marriage laws were originally racist in intent on a recent thread, a clear violation...! You should include that in your US political comments report as well I think. As I think of more, I will try to remember to PM them to you... That is all that I really have to say on the matter. Cheers! -Ray Lol! One thin skinned pig for sure ?
clutch5150 Posted October 6, 2017 Posted October 6, 2017 No conspiracy type here, just my humble assertion but I cannot think of a better way to get as most Americans/Govy streamlined as Raul steps down next year and they have their election or appointments from the Cuban Representatives that represent their districts. IF this was the intention among other ways, it's a smart way to do it...

It's also been reported that confirmed reservations had been cancelled to accommodate higher paying customers. People around the globe do the "five star" thing - more power to 'em. Others work and save up to take a vacation and might rightly expect to get what they pay for. Either way, one can have a nice place to lay their head at night and still have a "cultural" experience. On the other hand the fiends who rent beautiful houses, complete with pool, chef, and maid service - where they hold numerous parties - those are the true let 'em eat cakers.....

Dizziness, fatigue and headaches, , .. and all this time I thought it was the late nights, uncountable bottles of rum and long legged hookers that was the cause of my problems. Now I'm looking forward to my next trip. I'll just take some ear plugs. Quote
LLC Posted October 7, 2017 Posted October 7, 2017 As a true lover of Habanos I enjoy my trips to the island, you know why, because I go down there with low expectations and the notion to go with the flow, what ever happens, happens......that's why each of my trips have been so memorable IMHO real Cuban cigar lovers should make the journey down to the island at some point in their lives to see everything from start to finish on what makes the cigars the best in the world and the people involved...kind of like people interested in Architecture goto Europe, wine lovers flock to Italy/France, etc. If you are worrried about dragging your family and friends, staying in a high end resort/hotel then maybe you are missing the big picture of what Cuba is really about I will bet ANYONE here that takes a trip to Cuba with an open mind will leave a changed person and have a different perspective about cigars, the Cuban people and their own lives....no doubt in my mind Do I really want to hang around people more worried about accommodations than realizing what Cuba is all about...... BartVery well said. I am used to traveling in style but I chance my mindset when I go to Cuba an each and every of my many trips has been very enjoyable; even when there are some issues that inevitably come up.
