About the Book
is
an all-American story about truth, justice, and… every American’s
right to smoke a Cuban. Cigar, that is… not kill one. is
a political satire that evokes the right to have the right to have a hundred
Cubans. And to puff them too! It’s a narrative non-fiction
saga about a trek through America’s legal jurisprudence system that leads
the reader to the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth behind the
humor door with the federal court case called, U.S. vs. 100 Cuban Cigars… and
reminds one of another Catch-22 fable. It’s also a tale about abuse. About
how much money the government will spend; how many agents used; and, how much
time wasted with preventing the common citizen from smoking a fine Cuban stoogie. Finally,
it’s an anecdote about the myth behind ‘THE (Cuban) embargo.’ Why
there is one; who really wants it or is against it; and, why it will remain long
after Castro departs his perch.

to life!
What They Say
" is
a great American saga about how a couple of Cuban cigars led to one
man's struggle against the U.S. government...and how that man's view
of America almost went up in smoke. Highly informative and very entertaining!
A must read for civil liberty advocates."
---Brian O'Connell, feature writer for Cigar Magazine and an Amazon.com Top 100 Author
"There are a lot of people who feel it is crazy that cigars of this nature cannot come into America and be used for pleasure. That is what this is all about."
---Stephen Patrizio, Philadelphia lawyer
