As part of a historic deal that aims to normalize relations between the U.S. and Cuba — which includes a possible lifting of a U.S. trade embargo, the establishment of embassies, and the easing of a travel ban — comes a perk for American tourists with a taste for the good life: Cuban cigars. From The Hill:
