IMHO:Too many people alive that know what happened in the revolution there for the embargo to just end.

When it does, I will probably not smoke any CC that I didn't have before the ending. For a few years, maybe ten, for the previously commented fakes/trash reasons.

There would need to be an effort put forward by the Cuban regime to negotiate with the US. Watch for signs of that. Castro, so far, has steadfastly refused.

I love chili.
And jambalaya.

Well, aren't you posh.



You have to make sure they aren't substituting fakes like Tofurkey.

So does this mean that we are going to start a "TC forum" for cigars from the other, other island? Will MRN write another book and include Pacific growing regions? Inquiring minds and all that, you know. :=:

Cuba should already have agreements on exclusive distributors for USA they’ll mandate higher wholesale pricing. They should rape the USA market while making a high margin. US Government will crack down on grey market cigars coming into USA like they have been with cigarette tax stamp evasion. Legal Cuban cigars will be the super expensive than when the embargo if you like Internet prices. Cigar will be stopped at the border like they are in Canada.

Be careful what you wish for…

As an aside. Within 10 years, expect all tobacco to cost at least 50-100% more than it is now with huge restrictions on where one can smoke.

If it does, think of all the great deals you'll be able to score on Tatuajes. :noon:noon

They already do. JR's (Altadis) will distribute over 80% of the Cuban cigars in the US. That deal was done about 4-5 years ago.

In midst of all the talk about prices going up and quality going down. If this does happen, do you think they will bring back some of the discontinued brands to keep up with demand? Also, think of the very wealthy companies that own farms and would love to buy farms in Cuba and start making their own lines in those countries. While it may be that the traditional brands may go up in cost, it would only take a handful of NC companies to start providing cuban wrapper, filler, etc to drive that cost back down.

So I guess that means that Pete Johnson could start a Havana Club. Nyuk nyuk nyuk...
