Your Cohiba-filled dreams are about to come true. This past Tuesday, the Unites States and Cuba signed a deal that will restore commercial flights to the island, with the return of said flights coming by the fall.

Now, this doesn’t mean you still don’t have to provide a reason why you’re heading to the island before you land a ticket, but as we’ve seen, that’s about as easy getting a medical marijuana card in California. This fall, Varadero Beach and a bottle of rum will be calling.
