Cigar aficionado U.S. trade embargo

[SOFLO88]

I see it playing out the same way most of you do, the market sky rockets, the quality goes down because it cant keep up with demand and then who knows. My other thought is, how bad would it effect the other major cigar manufactures whose largest marketshare is the US

Why? Nothing will change. You know that as well as I. It is merely a bill proposed by 3 senators.Truth is it will be shot down like a rabid dog.  I don't know why CA magazine has to publish this rubbish news that ends up going nowhere. Don't they have a fancy lifestyle to write about? Expensive yachts, cars , watches etc.

I think some people give the US a hard time because we’ve got this bizarre embargo going with Cuba, but not other communist countries like China and Vietnam. The thing is, the US seems to give a huge amount of attention to what the displaced immigrants in the US want. In my view, the embargo has been driven mostly by Cuban-Americans. Sure, one side or another might try to pander and virtue signal to the Cuban-Americans, but generally the embargo is not a top ten issue for non-Cubans.

I grew up with a lot of Vietnamese, and I can’t think of anyone who said, “hey, let’s form voting blocks and push to punish the communist regime there in Vietnam”. They just didn’t care all that much. I would hope they had somehow already become 100% American.

It was the same thing with my Chinese grandparents. They lost a lot of land in China—and I mean A LOT—but I’ve never heard them exhibit hard feelings toward China or Mao. It’s like they hadn’t even considered it, and these are people who hold incredible, ridiculous grudges against individuals. The subject has simply never come up and I don’t think they ever even think about it.

As to your first paragraph, Florida is our biggest swing state, with 29 electoral votes.  Since 1964, there has only been one time where the winner of the presidential election lost Florida.

Absolutely. And I know many older Cubans who choose who they vote for based on their policy towards Cuban relations.
