Imperial Brands PLC (QX) (IMBBY)

IMBBY Imperial will still be subject to the lawsuit, despite the sale.

“The statute of limitations goes back two years prior to the cessation of trafficking,” said Nick Gutiérrez. “They can still sue Imperial either way.” https://www.cubastandard.com/imperial-brands-cigar-sale-to-be-completed-by-end-of-this-month/

Helms-Burton exposure

In August 2020, the heirs of Cuban cigar entrepreneur Ramón Rodríguez Gutiérrez, who owned and operated the Partagás factory building in Havana, filed suit in federal court in Miami, accusing Imperial of profiting from confiscated property. The plaintiffs are asking the district court for unspecified damages.

A plaintiff’s lawyer argues that the Chinese buyers will be liable under Title III of he Helms-Burton law, which punishes “trafficking” of property confiscated by the Cuban state after the revolution.

“Imperial Brands and Instant Alliance have entered into a commercial arrangement for the sale of Habanos that uses or otherwise benefits from confiscated property,” said Evan Stroman, a Miami attorney who represents the heirs to the extinct Banco Nuñez in their Title III case against French bank Société Générale SCGLY. “Both Imperial Brands and Instant Alliance are in violation of Title III and Title IV.”

Under Title IV, the U.S. Secretary of State can deny entry visas to officials from both companies.

Davidoff provides a high-quality, inexpensive cigar for the low-budget cigar smoker...the "3x3" is an excellent mild cigar with a naturla leaf wrapper.

In short, Davidoff provides a high-quality product for all pocketbooks.

Since its acquisition of the Camacho cigar manufacturer in 2008, the Oettinger Davidoff Group has improved the quality and consistency of the Camacho cigar line. Their QC continues to lead the pack.

I called this more than six months ago. Despite peaks and valleys during that time period it as not fallen back to it's mid $50 range when I made my prediction. This company is doing something right.
