I think you hit the nail on the head in so many ways. 1st - Marketers will tell you that the 'limited/restricted' availability of a product will help drive sales. If the embargo end, there will be an influx of smokers trying these once restricted cigars. But I imagine most will stick with the smokes they already enjoy after the fascination has worn off. I would also agree with the basic economics if the embargo ends. Prices as you said will 'skyrocket'. Will manufacturers try to compensate for the demand by producing more cigars than they have in the last 50 years. What will that do to quality? Can they support the influx of consumers? If the embargo ends, I don't think it'll be as soon as some would like. And if it does I will not be apart of the immediate frenzy. Too many other high quality sticks that I enjoy or still need to.
