The Viñales Valley, Cuba, is one of the world's most famous cigar tobacco growing regions. Donald Trump tightens sanctions.

The Viñales Valley, Cuba, is one of the world-famous cigar tobacco growing regions.

Measures currently under consideration include a complete ban on tourism and restrictions on educational travel (although American citizens are not allowed to travel to Cuba for tourism anyway, travel for educational or humanitarian purposes was previously permitted).

The memorandum also aims to combat a network of companies allegedly controlled by the Cuban military and in violation of US sanctions. The US Secretary of State has been instructed to identify those entities that directly or indirectly conduct financial transactions in the interests of the Cuban military or intelligence services.

This initiative represents a further step backwards compared to Barack Obama and Joe Biden's open-door policy. For Cuban Foreign Minister Bruno Rodríguez, this is „a criminal act and a violation of the human rights of an entire nation“ and represents „the greatest obstacle to our development“.

What do you think about this? Should the USA tighten up its Cuba policy - or is this a step back in time?

I'm the person behind Zigarren.Zone, who prefer to savour smoke rather than wave it away. When I'm not writing, I'm producing video clips and documentaries about cigars, people and everything in between. My goal? To give you an experience that's more engaging than any push message - with real stories, honest opinions and no PR puffery. I believe in authenticity, good tobacco and the fact that a cigar often says more than a thousand PowerPoint slides (but PowerPoint is already out of fashion anyway). So if you like reading what others are afraid to say - welcome to my world. We don't just smoke here. This is a place to savour. HAPPY CIGAR SMOKE!
