Can you get the real Cohiba anywhere in the US or would that be against the trade embargo against Cuba?

No, you can't get the genuine Cohibas, but you can get cigars that were harvested in other countries (Nicaragua, Dominican Republic, etc) using Cuban seed.

I'm not convinced that cubans are any better than cigars from other countries, but I believe the embargo has definitely romanticized the value of getting a cuban cigar.
