The capitalist bootlicker without an iota of original thought, like their capitalist dada.

🤣🤣🤣

You know I jest.

    In the sense that no person of taste WANTS to drink American beer, and so can choose to act accordingly - yes, you’re free. Free in the political sense, and free from stained well water.

    Yeah? What do you recommend specifically? I might have to grab a bottle soon when I'm in Canada (assuming they import it).

    I've been pretty happy with Appleton Estate, Plantation 3-Star, and Wrey & Nephew. But if there's better... yum.

    Depends where in Canada you’re heading, but you should be able to find Havana Club everywhere. But if you can find Santiago de Cuba and/or Legendario, go for those too.

    Legendario is sometimes available in eastern Canada, but it's not on the west coast that I've been able to find. Specifically my friend has brought me 3 bottles from Nova Scotia this year, but not sure if they still sell it given the state of things in Cuba right now

    I remember when I was a kid, I would hear on tv about Cuban cigars being illegal in the Untied States. I assumed they had marijuana or something in them. Then, in highschool, I got to laugh at the Untied States when I learned in world history that the Untied States is just so petty it banned everything made in Cuba
