Here's what could happen to Cuban cigar prices

[canadianbeaver]

This article seems to be talking about Joe Shmo, not the audience that would understand what a hand rolled, date coded Cuban cigar would be. This is the niche market, like us, online and on dry land.

Lets assume that the flood gates will open within the next 2 years. Surely the supply and demand will see a shortage in tobacco? What are the chances Cuba will be importing tobacco leaves from its neighboring countries?

My favorite part is where the article cites (with a link) a VP of Nat Sherman cigars as an expert who says that Cuban cigars are over-rated. Conflict of interest much? http://www.businessinsider.com/cuban-cigars-are-overrated-2015-1

I don't think the goal will be for Habanos to take a huge market share. They don't have to. If they leave production about where it is,prices will rise enough to make this a very profitable time.

First and foremost I don't see the embargo getting lifted anytime soon. Why you say? Because I feel too many people are asking questions like "what does America gets out of the deal?" And I haven't really found a answer for that question...

Despite the potential supply issues and price spike I look forward to an end to the embargo. Cuban cigars have spoiled me, I go to my locals, browse the selection and get a feeling of meh usually and settle for something.

I'm not going to speculate too much, but I hope they don't put a punitive tariff on Cuban cigars, the under 50 cent a stick federal tariff is enough.
