If they were upscale entertainment people and had home humidors, they might still be smoking Havana cigars that they obtained before the embargo Kennedy put into place in February of 1963.

One of the upscale domestic brands in the 1960s (as well as before and to this day) was Arturo Fuente, who ramped back up production in West Tampa following implementation of the embargo. Certainly Fuente cigars would not be out of place in your scenario.

Padron also started in Miami in 1964, but they were mostly regional until after 1967.

Not much, but it's a start.
