If the Cuban embargo were to end -

[Bubba -NJ]

Just a general question out of curiosity . All opinions are welcome . If the Cuban embargo were to end , what do you think would happen to the non-cuban cigar market ?

[Jonsey5484]

I really don't think that anything would happen. If Cubans were made legal, they would not be as popular. There definatly would be an increase in buying of cuban cigars, but, people would still buy the other brands. But you don't have to worry about the Cuban embargo ending any time in the near future.

nothing

I agree with BPP, nothing.

I think there would be a slight decline in sales of non cuban cigars for a brief period, then it would even back out. From what I'v read the cuban cigar market in general is starting to decline because of quality. Younger generations are starting to take over factories and the passion that was once there in the fore generations has started to fade away and there more intested in the money aspect.

working in the smoke shop, you'd get some numb nut no brain atleast once a week asking for cubans. I'd point to pinars. Personally, I think the big deal about cuban cigars is that they are illegal. If they weren't, they'd just be cigars. There's only a few habanos I've gone nuts and they aren't even the big popular brands. San Cristobals are still the best habano, atleast I think so.

oooh, but what if Cuban leaf was made available to the great cigar makers in the Domincan, Honduras, etc.? Oh, the cigars they could make!
