Title: Cuban Marabú Charcoal available in the USA
Post by: Smokin Papa Steve on January 26, 2017, 02:31:04 PM

A bit of history was made this week with an import from Cuba to the USA.  As this product is Charcoal it is of special interest to us.  It has already been sold out here in South Florida so if and when it is available again, I will try to get some.  Below an article about this.

I would really like to try this charcoal, and I live in South Florida.  Unfortunately, today I read an article that our Governor Rick Scott nixed all imports like this from Cuba to our ports.  I do not know if his decision will stand or not.  There still is a lot of political agenda between us and Cuba.
