It's very much a blockade in practice since it prevents the vast majority of companies of any country from trading with Cuba.
There are very few companies that would survive competition by sacrificing trade with the nearby US to trade with Cuba instead the way the "embargo" forces them to.
That's an embargo.
A blockade is military stopping traffic. "Effectively a blockade" is an embargo.
