Imperial to sell premium cigar business in shift to vaping
Justin George Varghese, Sangameswaran S 3 Min Read (Reuters) - British tobacco group Imperial Brands said it would sell its global premium cigar business as part of plans to divest assets worth 2 billion pounds ($2.61 billion) by May 2020 to cut debt and invest in vaping products and other growth areas.

This is a huge deal, especially with all the FDA crap going on here in the United States.

No, but like vodka you can flavor it with anything and the amateur teens will buy the crap out of it.
And don't insult my intelligence telling me that vodka flavors are targeting adults. They're becoming Baskin-Robbins with that many flavors. It's like Camel cigarettes in the 80s. Joe Camel's nose and chin was a penis and balls. And if you don't believe that, look it up.

So Imperial which bought Altadis and JR and owns what 50% of the Habano industry gets out. I wonder if they will piece it out or if they will sell it as a big chunk.
Maybe if we do a gofundme....
