Owns Cohiba will explode if trade restrictions ever dropped with Cuba. Enclosure movement happening in developing world like in Europe during Industrial revolution / and America during Guilded and Progressive eras. Millions moving to cities, increasing incomes, growing middle classes. 50% of men smoke in China similiar numbers in most of developing world. Fastest growest segment of smokers in China are young women between 18-early twenties, hook them young. Peasants will drop crappy domestic smokes and puff away on good ole American and British tobacco products. The money trains that are MO / ITY / BTI will keep chugging along at steady clip.
