I honestly think if anything the NC companies will fight lifting the embargo. They would have a lot to lose if Cubans are legal here because the NC market overseas is not good and if they lose footing here even temporarily it will hurt them.

I think this was also the case for the FDA ban I have a few well trusted friends that have told me the larger NC companies helped push it. They were afraid they were going to lose market share to boutiques like what happened in the micro brew business with larger beer companies.

Another factor that needs weighed out is the supply and demand. If the CC market opens to the American economy, expect prices to be ridiculous. Average Americans who don't put the work into getting cc's will buy them for the novelty causing a shortage until the fad wears off. Cuba has a hard enough time keeping up with demand they have know if you even want to call current production "keeping up"

The cheap bast**d in me says
"if you can turn me onto a good $4 cigar that takes 6 hrs to smoke I'M IN" That's pregame, the game, post game and part of next mornings traffic report
