Operation Mongoose: Close but no exploding cigar

Saludos,

Greetings, history buffs. Some of Operation Mongoose's assassination tactics against Fidel Castro included exploding cigars & poisoning a box of his favorite cigars with botulinus toxin. When Castro learned of Operation Mongoose,  he held up this newspaper in a taunting fashion.

Until the next post, siempre fumando,
Habana Port
