What's 50% of Corporacion Habanos, S.A. Worth Today, 10 Years later ....?
From Bloomberg News 10 Years Ago .... Altadis to Buy 50% of Cuba's Corporacion Habanos for $500 Mln |
Madrid, Dec. 9 (Bloomberg) -- Altadis SA, the world's biggest cigar maker, said it would spend $500 million to buy 50 percent of Corporacion Habanos, makers of some of Cuba's best- known cigars, including Cohiba and Montecristo. Altadis, to be formed by the merger of Spain's and France's biggest tobacco companies, said the price of the purchase could be revised after it reviews the company's financial situation. Corporacion Habanos was created in 1994 to regroup and sell the major Cuban cigar brands. Tabacalera SA bought France's Seita SA to former Western Europe's third-largest cigarette company and exploit their dominant position in cigars. The combined company already controls about 25 percent of the world's market for cigars. The new company is expected to begin trading in both France and Spain tomorrow.

TORPEDO v. IMPACT TORPEDO
Wow! Drew Estate Voluntarily Surrenders 5 year old Registration for "LA VIEJA HABANA"
Nat Sherman Tobacconist Lindsay Heller ... in her own words ...
Although I obeyed the law in waiting until I was eighteen years old, I had always had this desire to smoke cigars after witnessing my grandfather enjoy them throughout my entire young life. Like many people I help everyday, at first I knew relatively little about tobacco outside of some historical and geographic facts, but as is the custom with me, if I enjoy something I always have to try and learn as much as possible about it.
I was a consumer and student for nearly six years learning, trying, and asking questions before I made the leap from customer (and apprentice of sorts) to becoming an actual tobacconist. I am now
From hosting events, classes, and even personally tailored in-store appointments, I love watching cigar smokers get excited about the perfect stick. Despite all of the anti-smoking hysteria and rather unjust laws, I enjoy being part of a company that provides those wishing to enjoy tobacco an oasis in the middle of an urban jungle. I have been so fortunate to become friends with many of the names/brands we all know, and each time we chat we pass our musings onto you.
I keep looking to the future and all I see is a lifetime of great memories with equally great cigars. As for what’s next for

Smoke Magazine and www.solocigars.com Get the Gas Face
I've asked this question before .... why advertise goods that are not legally available in the US? The end is near? Is Smoke Magazine, http://www.solocigars.com and/or Habanos (or others) preparing the US consumer for the imminent arrival of real Cubans?
In any event, Smoke Magazine and http://www.solocigars.com get the Gas Face for the most blatant snub at the US Government's Embargo against Cuban goods. Whether you believe the Embargo is a good idea or not, it's currently the law.
By the way, the model is out of control hot. She also appears on www.solocigars.com. However, she is clearly not Cuban (either of the island or in exile). I just know these things. (picture to follow).

Hottest Women in Cigar Industry: Annia Vazquez and Chistrian Forcade of Forcade Cigars
Annia Vazquezand her sister Chistrian Forcade provided Cigarlaw.com with this great write up about the history of Forcade Cigars:
Our roots with tobacco expand from five generations back when our great-grandfather, Thomas Novales, migrated from
Our great-grandfather continued the tradition to his seven children. The tobacco agriculture was part of growing up for our grandmother, Bienvenida Elena Novales, and her brothers and sisters. The four boys were in charge of maintaining the fields and the three girls would handle making of each tobacco with perfection. The Forcade family was a French family that also migrated to
As time passed, both having their own descendants, Bienvenida gave birth to Araceli Gonzalez, our mother, and Manolo had his son, Manolo Forcade Jr. Their children fell in love during their adolescence and together were able to continue the company that their ancestors had created, assuring the maintenance of the quality and freshness of a fine cigar.
The company is named after the Forcade family in memory of Manolo Forcade whom died at sea trying to pursue the dream of continuing the tradition in
Forcade Cigars produces "GIRALDA" brand cigars made by Don Pepin Garcia in Nicaragua under the Garcia Family Tabacalera.
Hottest Women in Cigar Industry: Amber Lee of Famous Smoke Shop
This selection for "Hottest Women in the Cigar Industry goes to:
Amber Lee, Advertising Assistant for Famous Smoke Shop in
This is definitely one of the hardest working women in the cigar industry. Through her online efforts in the world of Twitter, Facebook, and most likely other online communities, the world has been introduced to Famous Smoke Shop. And for those already familiar with Famous Smoke Shop, she provides a friendly and knowledgeable face to the company.
In her own words, Amber describes her job as working in the “marketing department of the world's best cigar retailer - Famous Smoke Shop! I'm basically the marketing team's dominatrix, meaning that I crack the whip to make sure that our writers and designers accomplish everything on their plates. They act like they don't like it, but I know they do. LOL”
Cigar Law learned about Amber through here ubiquitous Twitter and Facebook updates where she keeps us up to date on her local traffic, cigars that she is currently smoking, and music she enjoys. Her efforts are a perfect example how companies are now using the power of social networking to put a friendly face on their products and services and building goodwill in a non-traditional way.
Amber is not simply a person in the marketing department that is touting her company’s product and services, but rather is someone that actually enjoys the products she is marketing. In her own words, “I've been smoking cigars for a few years. I started out with mild and flavored cigars, but now prefer traditional, medium to full-bodied smokes. Some of my favorites are Famous Private Selection Nicaraguan Corojo, Rocky Patel Vintage '92, and pretty much anything by Don Pepin Garcia.”
Here’s a shout out to Amber Lee of Famous Smoke Shop, a wired/Internet savvy, cigar smoking, smart and friendly face for the cigar industry.

OFFICE ACTION
TO AVOID ABANDONMENT, THE OFFICE MUST RECEIVE A PROPER RESPONSE TO THIS OFFICE ACTION WITHIN 6 MONTHS OF THE ISSUE/MAILING DATE.
ISSUE/MAILING DATE: 8/21/2008
This Office action is in response to applicant’s communication filed on August 10, 2008.
Applicant seeks to register the designation “Habanos” as a certification mark used to indicate the geographical origin of cigars. The word “habano” (the plural being “habanos”) is translated as “Havanan, Havana, of Havana.” See: Larousse, Gran Diccionario English-Spanish Spanish-English Dictionary, XVII & 362 (1944) and The American Heritage Spanish Dictionary, 277 (2nd ed, 2001)(copies enclosed). “Habanos” also means “something from Havana”. See: Reference.com (on-line encyclopedia)(copy enclosed). Further, “Habano” is defined as a Havana cigar or Cuban cigar. See: the above definitions as well as the on-line guide by CigarAdvisor (copy enclosed).
Certification Statement
A certification mark for a geographical location is used to certify that certain goods originate in the particular geographical region identified by the mark. Community of Roquefort v. William Faehndrich, Inc., 133 USPQ 633 (2nd Cir, 1962), and TMEP § 1306.02. In the present situation the designation “Habanos” indicates that cigars branded with applicant’s designation have their origin in the Province or City of Havana, Cuba, for Havana refers to both a Cuban province and city located therein. See: The Columbia Gazetteer of the World Online (2005)(copy enclosed). The certification statement, however, is defective because it indicates that the certification mark indicates that cigars identified with applicant’s designation have their geographical origin in Cuba and are made from Cuban grown tobacco. Correspondingly, the certification statement must be amended to indicate the geographical location from which the goods originate, and that is Havana.
Geographical Misdescription
Applicant bases this service mark application, in part, upon a Cuban trademark registration that indicates the designation “Habanos” identifies cigars grown in the country of Cuba using tobacco produced in Cuba. However, the mark for which registration is sought is “Habanos”, a geographical region in Cuba that does not identify the entire country. Because the mark sought to be registered indicates that cigars originate in a particular geographical region (that is, the Province of Havana), and the Cuban trademark registration upon which the application is based, in part, indicates that the designation “Habanos” identifies cigars grown in all parts of Cuba, the mark geographically misdescribes the goods. Correspondingly, the following is instituted:
Registration is refused because the applied-for mark consists of or includes geographically deceptive and primarily geographically deceptively misdescriptive matter in relation to the identified goods and/or services. Trademark Act Sections 2(a) and 2(e)(3), 15 U.S.C. §1052(a), (e)(3); see In re Les Halles De Paris J.V., 334 F.3d 1371, 67 USPQ2d 1539 (Fed. Cir. 2003); In re Cal. Innovations Inc., 329 F.3d 1334, 66 USPQ2d 1853 (Fed. Cir. 2003), In re Budge Mfg. Co., 857 F.2d 773, 8 USPQ2d 1259 (Fed. Cir. 1988); TMEP §§1210, 1210.01(b)-(c).
A mark is geographically deceptive and primarily geographically deceptively misdescriptive if the following is shown:
(1) The primary significance of the mark is a generally known geographic place or location;
(2) The goods for which applicant seeks registration do not originate in the geographic place identified in the mark;
(3) Purchasers would be likely to make a goods-place association; that is, purchasers would be likely to believe that the goods originate in the geographic place identified in the mark; and
(4) The misrepresentation regarding the geographic origin of the goods is material to the purchaser’s decision to buy the goods or use the services in question.
In re Les Halles De Paris J.V., 334 F.3d 1371, 1373, 67 USPQ2d 1539, 1541 (Fed. Cir. 2003); In re Cal. Innovations Inc., 329 F.3d 1334, 1341, 66 USPQ2d 1853, 1859 (Fed. Cir. 2003); TMEP §1210.01(b)-(c).
Descriptiveness
Applicant seeks to register the designation “Habanos” for a certification mark for cigars. As was noted above, the word “Habanos” is variously defined. It is defined as “Havanan” or “of Havana” or “something from Havana”. “Habanos” is also defined as a Havana cigar or a cigar, in general. Further, applicant’s service mark registration, upon which this application is based, indicates that the cigars certified are produced over the entire country of Cuba using Cuban cigar tobacco. This evidence shows that the cigars covered by the service mark application are not exclusively produced in the Province of Havana and the designation “Habanos” is used as the generic name for cigars. Correspondingly, “Habanos” primarily signifies a type of cigar made either in Cuba or outside Cuba, without regard to the regional origin identified by the name, rather than a mark of certification. Since “Habanos” is a descriptive name of a particular type of cigar and does not identify a geographical location from which particular cigars originate, the refusal to register because “Habanos” does not act as a certification mark is maintained. Trademark Act § 2(e)(1). See: In re Cooperativa Produttori Latte E Fontina Valle D’Acosta, 230 USPQ 131 (TTAB, 1986), and Tea Board of India v. Republic of Tea Inc., 80 USPQ2d 1881 (TTAB, 2006).
Cuban Registration
Applicant submitted August 10, 2008, a certification signed by the General Director of the Cuban Office of Industrial Property indicating that as of January 27, 2003, the owner of the Cuban service mark registration upon which this application is based had relocated and that the registration was in full effect at that time. It is noted that the term of a Cuban trademark registration, which is ten years, commences on the filing date of the application, once the underlying mark is registered, and may be renewed for successive 10 year periods. See: Trademarks Throughout The World, § 39.20 (2008)(copy enclosed). Applicant’s service mark in Cuba was registered December 4, 1967. Correspondingly, with the proper renewals, the registration would have expired December 4, 2007. Although the General Director’s statement that the registration was in effect on January 27, 2003, was correct, the statement has little bearing upon the renewal of the registration.
It appears that the foreign registration on which this application is based, in part, expired on December 4, 2007. The foreign registration must be in force at the time the United States issues a registration based on that foreign registration. In re Societe D’Exploitation de la Marque Le Fouquet’s, 67 USPQ2d 1784 (TTAB 2003).
Therefore, applicant must submit a certificate of renewal or other certification from the intellectual property office of the foreign country, or a copy of the foreign registration that shows that the foreign registration has been renewed and will be in force at the time the registration issues in the United States. 37 C.F.R. §2.34(a)(3)(iii); TMEP §1004.01(a).

Xikar, Inc. Files Motion for Summary Judgment in Corporacion Habanos v. Xikar, Inc.
Pending before the United States Patent and Trademark Office's Trademark Trial and Appeal Board.
Xikar recently filed its Motion for Summary Judgment in this matter. Full brief to be posted here shortly. In short, Xikar, like so many before them argues, among other things, that Havana and Habano are generic for cigars. I tend to agree whole heartedly. In fact, Corporacion Habanos and its related entities have been extremely aggressive lately in attempting to enforce "HABANOS" and "HAVANA" as a geographic indication of origin. Looks like Obama fever has spread and they are trying to pave the way for a United States market for Cuban cigars and related products.
