Just as the european wine industry experienced stress and growing pains as united states wine producers gained international accolades, the Cuban cigar industry must face market facts that they are now not the world leader in cigar production and cigar quality. In fact, the lifting of the Embargo ( whatever that implies ) won’t, can not return Cuba to its glory days. The cigar industry has taken root and gained force in many of the states discussed above, and there is not any indication that they may go into bankruptcy if the embargo is lifted. They’re gaining notoriety and accolades for manufacturing quality products that the U. S. cigar backer has grown to accept and love.
