This one time my dad was talking about Karl Marx and said he was “born in Russia”, and I corrected him that he was born in Germany. And then he got argumentative and started spouting out other facts about “Karl Marx”, like that he overthrew the Czar and lead the Red Army…

Suddenly I realized… “Dad, you’re thinking of Vladimir Lenin, not Marx.”

My dad realized I was correct and replied: “Well of course you would know that.”

      Gotta buy it abroad. I always cop a couple bottles when I visit LatAm, not just for ideological reasons either. Havana Club is a good rum in its own right, selección de maestros is probably one of the best deals out there at like $30 usd a bottle.

      It’s definitely not illegal to bring it into the US under your allotted customs quota for personal use
