The U.S. government ended its restriction on cigars, a tobacco product made in Cuba.The U.S. did the same for the alcohol called rum.
美国政府解除了对雪茄,一种古巴香烟的禁令。同时还解除了对朗姆酒的限制。

Both are two well-known products from Cuba.They had been banned in the U.S. for almost 50 years.American travelers who purchased Cuban-made products were not permitted to bring them into the U.S.
这两样都是古巴著名的产品。在美国被禁长达50多年。美国游客不允许将购买的这两样古巴产品带入国内。

That changed in 2014, when the government agreed to let travelers return home with cigars and rum valued at $100 or less.

The new rules go into effect on Monday.American tourists returning home will be permitted to bring up to 100 cigars and several bottles of rum.
新政策将于周一生效。美国游客可以在回国时最多携带100支雪茄和几瓶朗姆酒。

The magazine Cigar Aficionado included two Cuban cigars in its top-10 list for 2015.Some Cuban cigars cost as much as $20 each.
