Today is Friday, Feb. 17, the 48th day of 2017. There are 317 days left in the year.
Today's Highlight in History:
On Feb. 17, 1947, the Voice of America began broadcasting in Russian to the Soviet Union.
On this date:
In 1815, the United States and Britain exchanged the instruments of ratification for the Treaty of Ghent, ending the War of 1812.
In 1863, the International Red Cross was founded in Geneva.
In 1897, the forerunner of the National PTA, the National Congress of Mothers, convened its first meeting in Washington.
In 1913, the Armory Show, a landmark modern art exhibit, opened in New York City.
In 1925, the first issue of The New Yorker magazine (bearing the cover date of Feb. 21) was published.
In 1933, Newsweek magazine was first published under the title "News-Week."
In 1944, during World War II, U.S. forces invaded Eniwetok Atoll, encountering little initial resistance from Imperial Japanese troops. (The Americans secured the atoll less than a week later.)
In 1959, the United States launched Vanguard 2, a satellite which carried meteorological equipment.
In 1964, the Supreme Court, in Wesberry v. Sanders, ruled that congressional districts within each state had to be roughly equal in population.
In 1972, President Richard M. Nixon departed the White House with his wife, Pat, on a historic trip to China.
In 1986, Johnson & Johnson announced it would no longer sell over-the-counter medications in capsule form, following the death of a woman who had taken a cyanide-laced Tylenol capsule.
In 1996, world chess champion Garry Kasparov beat IBM supercomputer "Deep Blue," winning a six-game match in Philadelphia (however, Kasparov lost to Deep Blue in a rematch in 1997).

Ten years ago: Senate Republicans foiled a Democratic bid to repudiate President George W. Bush's deployment of 21,500 additional combat troops to Iraq. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice made a surprise visit to Baghdad. At Camp Pendleton, California, Marine Lance Cpl. Robert B. Pennington was sentenced to 8 years in military prison for his role in the kidnapping and killing of an Iraqi civilian (he was released early in Aug. 2007). Former French Cabinet minister Maurice Papon (pa-PAWN'), convicted of complicity in crimes against humanity for his role in deporting Jews during World War II, died near Paris at age 96.
Five years ago: Congress voted to extend a Social Security payroll tax cut for 160 million workers and to renew unemployment benefits for millions more. The New York Knicks saw their seven-game winning streak with team sensation Jeremy Lin come to an end as they lost to the New Orleans Hornets, 89-85.
One year ago: A three-way feud among the GOP's leading White House contenders escalated, with Ted Cruz daring Donald Trump to sue him for defamation and dismissing Marco Rubio's charges of dishonesty during a CNN forum just days before South Carolina's high-stakes primary. Travis Hittson, a former Navy crewman, was executed in Georgia for killing a fellow sailor, Conway Utterbeck. A jury in Los Angeles acquitted an Ohio man of stalking actress Gwyneth Paltro

Coming soon to a state near you:
A bill currently making its way through the Hawaii House of Representatives is seeking to close a loophole that 13 legislators see as allowing people–particularly minors–to circumvent the state’s current tobacco taxes and laws by purchasing such products online. H.B. 1495 seeks to “to correct a loophole in Hawaii law regarding age verification".

He posted on here a good while back and when folks hit him about the crappy Jams since he left he said it was out of his control so I hardly think he is running the operation.

The change seems good for them, driving prices up which is hard to believe that people are falling for that and just paying more. I shouldn't be surprised

Pretty sure he was the big boss. I recall his response about the jams being that he didn't run those anymore. I met him at CFest, seemed like a nice enough guy. He gave me a stick they were planning to roll out and wanted my thoughts. I eventually did and tossed it about half-way. It was lousy.

You may be correct, but I guess I was giving it some more credibility by not actually mentioning the CincoVegas brand... :o

We (LTG, Andy, Rocco) hung out with him at the Daniel Marshall event before CFest last year, really nice guy, I like him. We gave him a few cigars which he was hesitant to accept. He helped Andy out big time because the jackass forgot his tickets and was going to drive home to get them that night. Steve got in touch with the lady running the tickets and looked him up online and saved him a trip, good dude in my book

Dear CI Customers:
Cigars International would like to extend an apology to Sam Leccia. The verbiage contained within our January promotion - Sam Leccia Sub-Wholesale Selloff - was inaccurate. He is not exiting the cigar business. At Cigars International, we believe in being an industry leader - from customer service and product offerings, to copy contained within our promotions. In this instance, we fell short of those expectations. We apologize for this situation, and to all individuals affected.

Dear CI Customers:
Cigars International would like to extend an apology to Sam Leccia. The verbiage contained within our January promotion - Sam Leccia Sub-Wholesale Selloff - was inaccurate. He is not exiting the cigar business. At Cigars International, we believe in being an industry leader - from customer service and product offerings, to copy contained within our promotions. In this instance, we fell short of those expectations. We apologize for this situation, and to all individuals affected.
::)
At CigarBanter.com, we believe in being complete fuckups - from customer service and website/forum upgrade, to individual posts within our site. In every instance, we fall short of your expectations. We DON'T apologize for this situation, and we say GFY to all individuals affected.

With that, time to head to the airport. Have a good one all.
Later Carolina's Dave
And next weekend too!

Hold on to your butts, the banter is going Daveless.

they said he was getting out of the cigar business, he was not,
sounds like he just wanted to get off the CI merry go round!

Just got a case of wines from a concern called Naked Wines, there is a waiting list
and the one wine I tried so far was very good. My youngest brother owned a nice restaurant in Big Sky
Montana, and is very big on wines(When I brought Nadine to meet the family he opened a bottle of Cristalle,
and Opus One - btw do not mix them with pain medication for a root canal that didn't have the alcohol warning
on the bottle, night ended in Emergency room since I ended up speaking 3 languages, and had my hand moving of it's own accord!). anyway here is the link you pay $40 a month and it gets put into an account for you wine purchases from them.
Satisfaction guaranteed, you can quit any time, and you choose what wines they send you, when you want them.

What's in it for Albert Filippini? Sounds ingesting (that was supposed to be "interesting" but I thought the autocorrect was apropos) but I don't drink $40/month worth of wine. I do enjoy wine but I don't drink it that often. Been dieting for a month and haven't had any at all in that time.

I am new to this, but i think i get $40 in my account if someone joins from that link. They take $40 a month auto deduct, but they ship you wines when you want, not monthly. I think you can opt for a lower amount deduction or once every 3 months... So far, I don't see a downside, my brother was saying he was getting wines for around $12-15 a bottle
that could easily go for around $40. then again he is a wine aficionado, when my Youngest was out there to visit last year, he and his wife had opened a $300 bottle of wine, for dinner that night, told her she should taste it. the upside, As a wine angel (their term), they use our money to help fund winemakers, who sell small batches directly to them. So they cut out the middleman and you get a better wine at a cheaper price. Meanwhile the money is still yours to spend when and if you see fit, or you could ask for it all back. one nice thing, you occasionally get a free bottle of wine as a gift, that counts toward your case minimum. Got a nice letter from one f the winemakers, saying that since Naked wines buys all of his production, he spends more time with his family, and less on the road trying to market his wine. Saves him money, sells wines cheaper to us, same or better net income. The offer a $100 voucher to try them at regular(not angel) pricing. It's cheaper to wait, and get the wine once you have money in your account. I think they added $40 to my account cause I was on the wait list for so long (34,500) before me. took a few months. Wife drinks mostly white wines, so the case of wines was her Valentines Day gift (I was buying it anyway, just made sure there were at least 10 bottle of white - got it the day before, so no money spent on flowers or dinner!). If you are happy with lesser priced wines, or really fancy named wines, not for you.

hey guys, no skin off my nose, just passing along the info, you could go to their website directly and sign up if you want. I don't need the $40 bucks, my brother told me about it, over Christmas dinner, didn't give me a link. they have more than enough customers, and came up with the waiting list so us newcomers would not wipe them out of wines(it happened in the past!). more people responded to my first banter over there, including customer service, than over here most days. 8)

I got those cards too, they seem to pick your wines, kinda like a book of the month club. not for me. this just
seemed like a good deal, have only tried one of the 7 wines I bought. Will let you know how it turns out. If you guys
remember anything about my warden, she is always looking for ways to complain about anything I do. So far she likes the first wine. found a stogie group over there, not sure if they are active, will see if my post generate any interesting cigar info. So far just some guys talking about Cinco Vegas cigars and Hansotia's Hudson Bay. about 6 or 7 women in that group.

Hey Travellin Dave, any codes for Atlantic you are aware of? Thanks, in advance. All have a great day.
No, unfortunately, Atlantic rarely does codes. Just a couple times a year they do free or reduced shipping, that's about it.

If you find any please post. Those are hard to find if any.
Thanks BC, figured as much, but thought Travellin might have some insight
I think the VIP membership is the driving force for discounts over there, but you never know what a Dave will come up with.
Correct sir.

j/k, Flip... ;)
I missed a few things from earlier, and wondered if this was anything like the cards Famous sends out... I have about a dozen of them, but they all have the same promo code. So, really one's as good as a dozen. I never ended up using any as it turned out.
I got those cards too, they seem to pick your wines, kinda like a book of the month club. not for me. this just
seemed like a good deal, have only tried one of the 7 wines I bought. Will let you know how it turns out. If you guys
remember anything about my warden, she is always looking for ways to complain about anything I do. So far she likes the first wine. found a stogie group over there, not sure if they are active, will see if my post generate any interesting cigar info. So far just some guys talking about Cinco Vegas cigars and Hansotia's Hudson Bay. about 6 or 7 women in that group.
How long were you on the wait list?
at least about 7 weeks, but i got to use the site to look at the wines. I ended up making my own case up, since they were running low on the only Italian Gavi they had on the site, got four bottles of it. before you order a case, make sure you check "Naked Me" on the top menu bar, there were/are another 3 free bottles of wine I missed, that could have shipped with my first order. they will go into my next one. Maybe instead of "Naked Me", they should call that "your free stuff". Since no one is frequently home, and someone over 21 has to sign for the shipment, my next order will go to the new FedEx office in the old Electronic Expo building on route 17 North.

Correct sir.
The down side of VIP is that you don't get a uniform discount across the board and for all products. The current "sale" listed for the CAO Consigliere for example or items listed in the Sale, Close Out or Beat the Clock are the same for VIP and general public.

Yes if you really like any cigar at a price you can live with buy it.

That's great advice. Very often, you pay for what you get.

Good evening all. Was reading thru today's posts about CI and stever. Do we know which corporate entity ended up buying CI (making Gonz et al rich - I would assume)? I believe altadis bought jr cigars (which explains why lew rothman is no longer writing the catalogs).

I can't keep up. Too many aquisitions in this industry. I believe General Cigar is the mother company.

Swedish Match or whatever they're calling these days.

From Halfwheel:
"There’s big news at the largest cigar company in the world. Scandinavian Tobacco Group (STG), who claims to be the largest manufacturer of cigars in the world and is the parent of General Cigar Co., Cigars International and others, is going public while its minority partner, the tobacco giant Swedish Match, is expected to begin the process of selling at least part of its stake in the business.It will mark a second chapter for Scandinavian Tobacco Group, which was formed in 2010 by Swedish Match and Skandinavisk Holding A/S, a company owned by two foundations: Augustinus Fonden and Det Obelske Familiefond.
Swedish Match merged its cigar and pipe business, including General Cigar Co. and Cigars International, with Skandinavisk Holding, a company that sold mass market cigars, roll-your-own tobacco, pipe tobacco and CAO. Skandinavisk Holding A/S assumed 51 percent ownership in the new Scandinavian Tobacco Group, while Swedish Match acquired 49 percent and around $30 million in cash to account for the difference in assets contributed.
The deal was finalized in October 2010, creating a company with over 9,000 employees and an estimated annual revenue around $1 billion, making it the world’s largest cigar company—including an estimated 30 percent of the U.S. market at the time, as well as the world’s largest seller of pipe tobacco. That deal included a “standstill agreement” that expires on Oct. 1, 2014, a restriction believed to prevent either party from modifying its position in the company.
Earlier this year, Swedish Match acknowledged the standstill agreement’s expiration and publicly disclosed it had retained an investment bank to “evaluate the options in terms of future ownership structure for the company”—in simple terms, it had begun to weigh the possibility of selling its stake.
Two separate moves will take place. One involves the buyout of the Swedish Match stake, who has refused to comment on the matter. It remains to be seen if Swedish Match will sell all of its stake, but multiple sources at STG briefed on the matter confirmed to halfwheel that the company is expected to, at the very least, reduce its ownership. According to one stock market expert, this could take place before the public offering, in order to better control the amount of shares listed and reduce risk for the newly-public ST Group.
The second will be the IPO, where STG will offer stock to the public. According to the Danish publication Børsen,who broke news of the planned public offering (http://borsen.dk/nyheder/avisen/artikel/11/90286/artikel.html#ixzz3AjQp39L8), JP Morgan has spent the last six months analyzing the company’s options and analysts anticipate a valuation of around 10 to 11 billion Danish Krones ($1.8-1.97 billion).
A public offering will not only serve as a way to generate capital for STG to buy Swedish Match out of its ownership, but also will give Scandinavian Tobacco Group added capital to expands its company through acquisition. One source told halfwheel that Q1 2015 is the expected date of the public offering. Nasdaq OMX Copenhagen will be the exchange according to Reuters.
Following the IPCPR convention and trade show last month, rumors emerged that General Cigar Co. (STG) was in “acquisition mode” (http://thecigarauthority.com/news-general-cigar-acquisition-mode/) in the premium cigar category. It’s unclear how aggressively the company will pursue these options, as the impending deeming regulations (http://halfwheel.com/fda) by the U.S. Food & Drug Administration would drastically alter the value of any cigar company.
ST Group has global ownership of the CAO, Macanudo, Foundry and Don Tomas brands, along with the rights to Cohiba, Partagas, La Gloria Cubana, Hoyo de Monterrey, Punch, Bolivar and Sancho Panza trademarks in the U.S. On the premium side, it operates the General Cigar Dominicana factory in the Dominican Republic, STG Estelí in Nicaragua and STG Danlí in Honduras.
Also of note is a restructuring of Cigars International and its distribution company Meier & Dutch, which owns hundreds of trademarks including Man O’War, 5 Vegas and the former XIKAR cigar brands including HC and Defiance.
As of Aug. 1, the retail and distribution operation is now at least four separate companies, a move that is expected to leverage some tax benefits, while also bringing the retailer closer to how its biggest competitor, JR Cigars/Santa Clara, is run. Products will now be purchased by Meier & Dutch, which in turn will sell the cigars and other items to its end consumer operations which include physical retail operations in Pennsylvania, four different online storefronts and a physical mail-in catalog.
“The long-rumored CI superstore project for Texas has been put on hold (until the) second half of 2015 once the offering is complete,” said a high-ranking official at another cigar manufacturer. The restructuring of the company’s business is said to create a situation in which Cigars International would be able to open up business in other states without putting its nexus in Pennsylvania, a state without a cigar tax, in jeopardy.
Despite the restructuring of Cigars International and the public offering of the larger ST Group, a sale of Cigars International is highly unlikely.
A spokesperson for ST Group did not return multiple requests for comment. According to the report from Børsen, Jørgen Tandrup, chairman of ST Group, indicated (http://borsen.dk/nyheder/avisen/artikel/11/90286/artikel.html#ixzz3AjgZESz0), “A listing of Scandinavian Tobacco Group is a good opportunity. Stock market looks good at the moment.” The publication also quoted (http://borsen.dk/nyheder/avisen/artikel/11/90295/artikel.html#ixzz3AjXT8h78) Claus Bagger, an executive at Skandinavisk Holding A/S, the 51 percent owner of STG, as stating, “If you ask whether Skandinavisk Holding has no plans to admit to listing STG, then the answer is no.”
ST Group’s reported revenue of $1.06 billion and manufacturing of 60 million hand-rolled cigars in 2013 compares to other large companies such as Oettinger Davidoff AG, who reported revenues of 5,925 MDKK ($1.09 billion) and 38.9 million cigars rolled per year.
In addition to premium cigars, the company produced 2.8 billion machine-made cigars in 2013. It also has a presence in the roll-your-own, pipe and smokeless tobacco segments.

Seems like everybody owns somebody now. Also saw where drew estates was bought out a couple of years ago (2014??) but that the company that bought it from him has hired him recently to run some/all of the brands. Gues DE wasn't the turnkey operation they thought it was gonna be.

I know it's more than you ever wanted know but it's all there in all it's corporate glory.

Jothnathan Drew was involved in a lot of the day-to-day operations and diffenently the creative genius behind the operation. Seems he was the one that made it tick.

No, it wasn't too much, CB. I appreciate it. Brings me up to the present. Also explains why PA is home to a lot of cigar retailers - no tax. Yeah, I also agree with Jonathan drew being what made the business tick. One creative sob.

good evening everyone. DPG CC and coffee. got a smoking room at the Quality Inn at Winter Park, Florida. (didn't know there were smoking rooms anymore).
-
Evening, Dean. You may have gotten one of the last smoking rooms in existence. Don't travel for work like I used to so don't know how easy it is to get one of late.
