Travel from US to Havana in 2020
About to book a trip for me and 4 others from the US to Havana in January of 2020. Just checking in to get some recent reports of how the visa and customs/immigration process was. In addition, we are planning on using an Air BnB, so any experience with that would be nice as well. Im also a big fan of cigars and would like to bring back a few boxes. I believe there is just a limit to number of sticks and/or value, right?

Everything is as it's been since commercial flights began in September of 2017. No problem leaving or coming back to US. For OFAC, use the Support for the Cuban People reason for travel. The airline sells you the Cuban visa and takes care of your health insurance.
Why not use one of the 100% Cuban casa particular sites, rather than an American one? Try CubaJunky. You can look at photos and reviews, get contact info to book and pay on arrival.
Be sure to buy your cigars at an official store, like the Partagas store right behind the Capitolio, not on the street.
Have a fun trip.
