Default Re: Ten Reasons to Lift the Cuba Embargo

First, I agree with Dave as to what will happen to pricing when the embargo does end. Our government will jump on that tax source fast and hard, and cigar prices will rise dramatically. Supply and demand will also drive prices.

Secondly, I agree with Carlos that the Castros most likely see an end to the embargo as a threat to their power. But, their domination is in its twilight. Time goes on, and they won't.

Lastly, and sadly, I think the embargo will end for the wrong reason. We've been involved in the Middle East since the end of WWII for one reason. I suspect we'll end the embargo and reengage with Cuba for the same reason.
