you're over-thinking this....i've asked the question of christian eiroa (caribe)...he feels that there would not be a gouge in prices....there would be so much to sort out on behalf of cubans who live here and owned property,etc,etc,etc......what could you expect after things get sorted out??........the use of cuban tobacco's in dom,nic,and honduran cigars.......and most likely the use of their tobacco's in cuban cigars......and some sort of a mini-boom.

lew rothman (jr) is said to own enough cuban cigars,warehoused in europe,to supply many consumers for a long time....

remember...most/many of the leading cuban cigar makers and tobacco growers have been gone from cuba for 45 or so years.....
