Among cigar smokers Cuban cigars are always abuzz.  However, legalized Cuban cigars aren’t as close as you might think.  Though there are many out there that suspect the embargo could be lifted in 2010, you can bet that there are other things that will have to happen before coveted Cubans are going to be legal in the USA.

Since the new administration has taken over, Barack Obama has discussed lifting the Cuban embargo and Cuban cigar lovers have salivated at the chance to get all the Cubans they can at reasonable prices.  It’s not likely, unfortunately, that this can happen overnight.  It is going to have to happen in stages and to quote Rush Limbaugh –“…you have no clue what is ahead of us as cigar smokers. What will happen is that the domestic manufacturers, defined by those who are in the Dominican and in Honduras, Nicaragua, Cameroon, all of the places where elements of cigars are grown, and all the places where they’re assembled, these people have in many cases marketed the brands of the Cuban cigars you’re talking about Hoyo De Monterrey, Punch, Simon Bolivar, all of these great Cuban brands have been marketed by other owners in the United States, and they are going to go to the Commerce Department, and they’re going to say we have made these brands popular, we have invested in the product and in the brand in this country, and they’re gonna ask the Commerce Department to ban the import of competing brand-name cigars from Cuba.”

Though it’s likely that we’re going to have to wait a while for Cuba cigars to be legal in the US I think that once Cubans are legal there will be a huge surge of cigar smokers and cigar smoking.  Much like the storm of online poker websites and poker players hit once Texas Hold’em became popular the cigar world will see the biggest cigar boom it has ever seen if Cuban cigars are legalized in the US.

There are also other economic factors that come into play when you’re talking about legalizing the most coveted cigars on the planet.  The economies of Honduras, The Dominican Republic, and Nicaragua will be severely affected once legal Cuban cigars are available to the masses. But, as I stated before, these economies will eventually come back to life stronger than ever once everyone realizes that Cuban cigars aren’t really that much different than the cigars produced in the above mentioned countries.  Not to mention that once Cuba has to produce cigars for Americans its production will be so overdone that the likelihood of the quality control diminishing is quite strong.

So, if you’re crossing your fingers for 2010 to be the year that you’re able to get all the Cuban cigars you want without having to sneak them in – keep dreaming!  We’ve got a long way before stocking up on Cubans will be legal in the US!

Wonderful coffee and earthy flavors with just the *slightest* touch of sweet- spice. I’d say on a scale of 1 to 10 for COMPLEXITY, this is a 11! Personal opinion is that the mural (oh, 4 and a quarter, maybe 4 and a half inch by 42 or 44 rg) is the tastiest, fullest flavor (not body, which I’d call medium or maybe med-to-full… maybe…) of the line, with a long-lasting/ full finish that makes you want to eat the smoke somehow — close second is the FFF (Full Fathom 5), a box- pressed robusto grande (5.5 x 55rg), which burns slower and more deliberate, producing slower flavor changes from foot to head in a far cooler smoke. Complex is an understatement… take the RP vintage 92 and smush it (not literally!) with the smooth and cool cocoa/ coffee of a CAO Brazilia Gol!, then lastly add a VERY mild sweet- spice typical of the Puros Indios lines = yum! Ignore the mexican in the filler – it doesn’t muck it up, really, and the nic “zing” with the brazillian wrapper makes it just…wowzers! Sorry for the super- long review, and I hope it helps more than it confuzzles. – ZugbugPete

CAO VR features a dark Brazilian Arapiraca maduro wrapper that is harmoniously balanced with Mexican and Nicaraguan long fillers. This cigar boasts notes of leather, pepper and a subtle sweetness on the palate. All sizes in the line are round with the exception of the Full Fathom Five which comes box-pressed. CLICK HERE TO ORDER
