    Why were the 70s such a tacky decade?

    So they could pretend the leader's girlfriend was part of the band.

    When do Cuban cigars become legally available in the US?

    You might also want to look into how the American interests came by their Cuban properties, then tell me who robbed or swindled who.

    What's for Dinner?

    I'm a little bit worried about mothers who worry about their children not eating. Believe me, if they are hungry they will eat. If they are not hungry they will be picky and that is the worrisome part. A lot of weight problems in later life come from being encouraged to eat more than we need...

    Vintage Pipe holder

    I would pay that if I still smoked. It's a nice piece. Probably 1930s. Is there a glass jar or metal container inside? If it is not complete that would reduce the value.

    When do Cuban cigars become legally available in the US?

    You take me too literally. I know Cuba and North Korea would still exist with or without Communism. I am saying the US embargo is one of the things that keeps their Communist governments in power. Things that would otherwise be intolerable and impossible, can go on as long as you have a foreign...

    When do Cuban cigars become legally available in the US?

    Cuba became The Land That Time Forgot thanks to the US embargo. There is no way the Castro regime could have survived without it. Every other Communist government collapsed except North Korea and Cuba, the only ones supported by a US embargo.

    Skills For "Living The Era"

    Do you remember when Maxwell House coffee was first made it came in sealed bags? Their slogan was "The Date Is On The Bag" ,possibly the first example of a Best Before date. Later they packaged their coffee in sealed cans but they never used the slogan "The Date Is On The Can". Wonder why.

    Walking around in a fedora...

    When everybody wore hats, everybody felt like that. Now you know the secret to Humphrey Bogart's charisma. Maybe not but there is a lot in what you say.

    When do Cuban cigars become legally available in the US?

    The whole point of the July 26 movement was to get rid of the tyrants, crooks, grafters, and exploiters and restore democracy and justice.

    When do Cuban cigars become legally available in the US?

    You are wrong about the Communists too. In 1959, the top men in Soviet politics were in their fifties and sixties, aging veterans of the Russian revolution. Castro's revolution made them feel young again. Their politics had turned into a dreary round of bureaucracy, suddenly these young men in...

    When do Cuban cigars become legally available in the US?

    Are you kidding? Castro tried to embrace the US. Only after he got the cold shoulder did he turn to the Soviets. It was several years later that he declared himself a Marxist. To the big business heels and gamblers anyone who interfered with their profits was a commie. If Castro could have...

    When do Cuban cigars become legally available in the US?

    "I believe that there is no country in the world including any and all the countries under colonial domination, where economic colonization, humiliation and exploitation were worse than in Cuba, in part owing to my country’s policies during the Batista regime. I approved the proclamation which...

    When do Cuban cigars become legally available in the US?

    What if Eisenhower had recognized the Castro government in 1959? Do you think it possible the political situation would have got back to normal within a reasonable period of time? Could Castro have afforded to alienate the US? Would he not have pursued a different policy if he was aligned with...

    When do Cuban cigars become legally available in the US?

    That was not the first thing. Castro did not turn to the Soviet Union until it was obvious the US was not going to recognize his government. There was a period of 4 or 5 months when the whole business was hanging fire. During this time Castro visited Canada, which did recognize his government...

    I remember the jelly glasses and even peanut butter came in glasses for a little while. That was 50 years ago. Now I get spaghetti sauce in Mason jars and that is about it. You used to get glassware as a premium when you bought gas, last saw those in the mid 80s.

    The US and Cuba reached an agreement on Wednesday to restore diplomatic relations. The result of 18 months of negotiations with the help of the Vatican and Canada. http://www.reuters.com/article/2014/12/17/us-cuba-usa-gross-idUSKBN0JV1H520141217 The process is ongoing as they need the approval...
