New leader for Cuba - new direction for Habanos?

The end of last week saw the transition of power in Cuba from one Castro to another. With the ailing Revolutionary Leader, Fidel Castro, stepping down, no longer in a position to run the country, Cuba's Parliament elected brother Raul on Sunday as Cuba's new President. The news was received with mixed emotions by Cubans all over the globe. Some, those who praise the Leader of the Revolution, saw him as the Father of a Nation, establishing the first Marxist-Leninist state in the Western hemisphere following the revolution of 1959 and standing up to it's larger neighbor, the US and bringing universal free healthcare and a much-admired education system, morned his passage. An equal number rejoiced at the news, seeing this as the moment when Cuban was finally rid of it's dictator, hoping for an immediate democratization of the country with an opening of markets to help revive an archaic economy, riddled by corruption. How this will effect Habanos S.A. and their world wide distribution of tobacco, it is to early to say, but changes no doubt there will be. Give us your thoughts on what effect this political change will have on Cuban cigars.
