Prohibited and Restricted Items

Merchandise from Embargoed Countries
Generally, you may not bring in any goods from the following (if not followed by an asterisk or where specified that the embargo only applies to diamonds): Cuba, Iran*, Iraq*, Serbia and Montenegro*, North Korea*, Burma (Myanmar), Angola, Liberia and Sierra Leone (diamonds only) and Sudan. The Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) of the U.S. Department of Treasury enforces this ban.

I found an even clearer answer. See the info below the heading "Transactions Involving Cuban-Origin Goods in Third Countries":

http://www.treas.gov/offices/enforcement/ofac/programs/cuba/ccigar2.pdf

In other words, you cannot purchase Cuban rum in Canada or Mexico and bring it back to the US.
