Notification of a drop in Tobacco Tax

[El Presidente]

 

.....about 100 years ago 

 

 

 

"By the Trade Agreement concluded between the Government of Her Majesty and the Republic of Cuba, customs duties on Cuban tobacco have been reduced from 48 pesos per pound to 25 pesos per pound, and now the sale of 'Havana' tobacco is within reach of all fortunes."

"The packaging of tobaccos, cigars, and cut tobaccos presented or offered as 'Habanos' that are not protected by this seal of guarantee are not legitimate from Havana."

"SMOKE HAVANA TOBACCO"

Think what was happening in the world then that they were talking about this and making near 50% reduction in taxes. They say history repeats itself.  😆

I love this statement:

"now the sale of 'Havana' tobacco is within reach of all fortunes"

You utter bast*rd. I thought there was going to be some sort of weak £ reprieve.
