I'm amazed by the 33% travel retail sales. I'm assuming this is mainly duty free stores, but are there other outlets?

People obviously enjoy smaller ring gauged smokes so why delete all the skinny's??

How did the Trinidad Robusto T do? I still can't beleive they'd delete that cigar ... not with the Robusto vitola being a best-seller and the fact that the margin on Trinidad must be near that of Cohiba.
