Habanos s.a Moves.

[El Presidente]

Quietly behind the scenes Habanos s.a has been buying back from distributors 50% or thereabouts of it's overseas Habanos licences. Every few months it appears another one falls to the persuasive Habanos s.a line.

I can see a period of greater contol which isn't particularly a bad thing given how fast and loose some distributors have been.

Can't say too much ;-)

WOW...

Definitely a good thing in my opinion but @bout 50% of it's licenses sounds like alot!!!

I better make sure my local ice cream man still has his...

Interesting. Greater control might also mean reduced supply, driving demand, and therefore prices, higher. Time will tell.

The South African distribution is changing at the end of the year. The previous distibutor was hopeless, no support, nothing. Not even a drink for all the South Africans at the Festival this year! Hopefully somebody passionate will take over. One can only wonder what is going on behind the scenes.
