He has announced he\u2019s reversing much of the Obama legacy vis-a-vis Cuba.<\/p>\n<p>He is going to double down on the Cuban embargo. He\u2019s going to reinstitute the travel ban. He just said that any change in American policy is gonna be dependent on the Cuban government, not the United States. So another aspect of the Obama legacy is being unraveled here today to wild applause down in Miami.<\/p>\n<p>I don\u2019t know what this means for Cuban cigars, which have become legal in a way.<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: So Trump has made it official. &#8220;I am canceling Obama\u2019s deal with Cuba.&#8221; Now, what I meant about cigars, part of Obama\u2019s new deal was that when you travel internationally, you can bring back Cuban cigars. I don\u2019t care what anybody tells you, there really isn\u2019t a limit. Now, some Customs office arbitrarily limit it to 100 cigars; others have none. You cannot sell them in America. You can\u2019t buy them, import them to sell them here, but if you buy them in Canada, Cuba, U.K., wherever, you can buy as many as you want and bring them back legally. I don\u2019t think that\u2019s gonna survive.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-237338 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/650-061617-Obama-Cuba.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"650\" height=\"312\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/650-061617-Obama-Cuba.jpg 650w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/650-061617-Obama-Cuba-300x144.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px\" \/>I\u2019m not able to listen to everything here, and I know Trump doesn\u2019t smoke or drink, so the cigar angle isn\u2019t gonna matter to him. Actually it might. You know, the domestic cigar industry is kind of like the protection of not having Cubans being allowed legally in the country. This is a major event down there. We\u2019ve lost satellite here because of the weather. There\u2019s a major boomer going on here, but because I have DirecTV Now, I\u2019m able to stream Fox News or the U.S. Open on one of my monitors here via Apple TV. I\u2019m watching this and everybody is decked out in suits and ties, huge audience behind Trump, and obviously in a very crowded hall down in Miami. Looks like it\u2019s now wrapping up.<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-217123\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Rush-Images-CIGAR-B.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\">RUSH: Okay, according to Mark Knoller at CBS News, Trump\u2019s changes on getting rid of Obama\u2019s Cuba policy will not change the fact that you can now bring in Cuban cigars and rum. That will remain. You travel outside the U.S., buy some Cuban cigars, say in London, Canada, wherever you get \u2019em, Beirut, you can bring \u2019em back.<\/p>\n<p>Now, call your local Customs, \u2019cause I\u2019ve found that every place has a different limit. Some have unlimited, some are limited to a hundred cigars. I don\u2019t think there\u2019s any limit at all, but you better find out what the local Customs office does at your airport when you come back. Same thing with rum. That will remain unchanged.<\/p>\n<p>So Trump has knocked it out of park as far as I\u2019m concerned. He\u2019s put the Cubans back where they belong, but left intact the ability to buy Cuban cigars legally and bring them back into the country. Cannot bring them back in to sell. This is not making Cuban cigars available at retail.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: So Trump has knocked it out of park as far as I&#039;m concerned.
