Obama is pushing to lower restrictions on Cuban-Americans traveling to Cuba while maintaining restrictions on non- Cuban-Americans- while inherently unfair but I think we're all aware of obama's lack of cohesive thought processes' it does hold that perhaps one day all americans will be treated equally and non-Cuban-Americans will be free to travel there as well- would you go to sample the limestone tufa pulling in a region that is considerably closer than the now troubled thailand? I hear cuba is also a great place to get cuban food.

Is Thailand troubled? Elodie was just there climbing a few weeks ago. What's up? I'd love to go to Cuba--all the Europeans vacation there already. They have probably sent all of the good limestone routes by now.

Opening Cuba to trade will destroy their cigars. They simply don't have the land to produce as many cigars as there will be demand for. Consequently, quality will go to hell, and you'll pay more than twice as much for a bad cigar. The embargo is the best thing to happen to their cigars. That being said, it's really not hard to order real Cubans on the 'net if you know where to go.

Aside from that, Cuba is pretty much a shit hole. What tourist wants to see a bunch of 60 year old cars, crumbling buildings, poor people, etc?

You misunderstand how supply and demand works. If there is increased demand on a finite supply, quality stays the same and the price goes up. So, save your pennies if you want to buy them.
