Cuba after Castro

What do you think is going on in Cuba? Does it matter who takes the reins of the government over there? Some sources report that Castro will recover (eventually) and return to power. If he doesn't, will his brother Raul change things or will it be status quo?

Will the U.S. ever lift the embargo? What will the new Democratically controlled Congress do?

I also wonder what will happen when the embargo does end. Will the Fuentes, Padrons, and everyone else run back to produce cigars? They currently claim that Dominican, Honduran, and Nicaraguan tobacco is just as good as Cuban tobacco. Will their tune change when Cuban tobacco becomes available again?

There will undoubtedly be a spike in the price of Cuban cigars, but I believe it will be short lived and prices will return to normal shortly.

There are a lot of unanswered questions. I don't think much will change in the near future. I'm sure the experts will fill us with information though.
