Interesting article here about the US/Cuba relations and cigars. I was not aware that Congress is heavily involved in what happens next.

With relations thawing between the United States and Cuba, a lot of cigar aficionados are likely wondering what’s in store for the U.S. cigar industry once things become more normalized.
President Obama is steadfast when it comes to improving our relationship with Cuba and just last month the U.S. announced new rules to further lessen restrictions with Cuba including allowing certain U.S. companies to establish offices in Cuba, and expanding banking and Internet activities. However, while there has been an easing of tensions and loosening of economic restrictions, it’s important to point out that the long-running embargo is still in place, and many restrictions can only be removed by legislation through Congress.
