Article on Habanos

Good day Mates,

I was forwarded a link on some interesting news reported by the Economist and it speks of the product we all adore as well as changes to the Habanos SA company.

Good reading and food for thought...

Cheers

The article is a good read.

I don't understand how "greater autonomy" (i.e., pseudo privatization) will decrease the cigars' flow to the black market. The employees still have the same incentives to smuggle exports. It really sounds like they're just trading one watchdog for another.
