So if they become legal to import and buy, regardless of price. Won't they lose their value once people can try them and find that they're no better than a cigar made in Honduras or Miami? I can see an initial high price that falls rapidly after a year or so.

sugarcane,cigars and rum are the big exports for cuba. i beleive cigars prices will be about the same due to taxes imo. however we should get a REAL cigar and a better smoke. the real money is going to be made on tourism and gaming.

We have been trading with China for how many years now, and they still think communism is better because of how they are coming to power. It's like the Borg from Star Trek. They are more "powerful" as a single entity than they are as individuals, so they think

Meh sorta. Yes the government still artificially values their currency. But they have learned some of our habits and business practices.

I think it's the forbidden fruit thing, kind of like parabolan used to be.
