When Fidel Castro seized American businesses in Cuba, the US broke off all diplomatic relations with Cuba. On October 19, 1960, the US imposed a trade embargo against Cuba on everything except food and medicine. On February 7, 1962, the embargo was extended to include all imports. The embargo still stands today.

What effect has embargo had since it's stablishment?

An embargo has the effect of prohibiting some activity, generally economic activity. The effect of an embargo is that goods and services are prevented from flowing across embargo lines even where there is a market for those goods. For example, there is an embargo preventing U.S. companies from exporting technology with military applications into terrorist-sponsoring countries. The effect is that businesses are prohibited from doing so. Similarly, there is a general trade embargo imposed by the U.S. on Cuba. As a result, goods from Cuba can not be imported into the U.S. The effect is that one can not legally sell Cuban cigars in America.
