[Leica] IMG: Cuban Cigar

[Jean-Michel Mertz]

I love that photo ... ! It reminds of an incident we had with the US Border Police more than 10 years ago when we went through the checks at Columbus Airport on our way back to France after our daughter's wedding - the one who lives in Savannah, GA. I had a handful of Cuban cigars in my suitcase, which they discovered. The officers'reaction was, at that time, adapted to the political context: in a second, we were surrounded by a dozen policemen, dogs, etc. They searched our luggage thoroughy - that's an understatement - and I had to destroy the cigars, of course. We missed our flight. I was allowed to keep the box ... I am very happy the US-Cuba Relationship gets a bit less tense - I guess this is why your son could enjoy this Cuban cigar his dad had bought when you last visited the island. Félicitations for your Grandson!
