If the Cuban embargo were to end -

I recently asked this same question on here, and to a few people outside of the board. The answer I got was that if Castro dies, his brother would probably take control. The people in Cuba have said that Castro's brother is even worse than Castro himself, so if this is true the embargo could stay alive for years to come I would assume.

The above statement assumes some degree of sense on the behalf of the government (whichever one is in power at the time in the USA). Also, remember that the industry will have a lot of input as well.

I think if the embargo was lifted, the USA would completely dominate the Cuban cigar industry and non-cubans would take a hit.

Also from a quality standpoint, if the embargo was lifted Cubans (of the human kind) could come to America legally, So I imagine the Cuban population would take a pretty big hit and alot of those would be people who work on the farms and at the factories.

Isnt Castro's brother almost as old as he is?
