When this happens prepare for Habanos to turn to the awfully bad or awfully expensive side. Everyone will want "Cuban Cigars" and I am afraid that Cuba can not support the demands of the US and you will see the quality diminish.

I hear you and totally understand where you are coming from as any others with this same fear/thought.
Me? I don't care what happens to the quality of cigars. If not Cubans, there will be other awesome ones to be had. At one time, the US was a market for them and they were still the best in the world. Could there be an initial decline in quality? Of course. Could it be long term? Will have to be seen.
In the interim, while cigars go south quality wise, my mom can see her brother who she has not seen in 43 years. Same with wife and her dad. We can go now but we don't want to risk going as a Cuban citizen. We want to go as Americans.
So, while I totally see your viewpoint, when human lives are in question and long lost loved ones are caught in the middle, it is truly tough for me personally to worry or care less what happens to the quality of cigars.
This Cuban thinks the day is near and long overdue.
