Cheaper Cigars from Cuba ?

[Moon Dancer]

Cheaper Cuban cigars from tomorrow if you're off to Cuba I wonder what the UK importers will do with their extra 8%

8% cheaper holidays...???

Fantastic news on the prices in Cuba- roll on October !!!

Of course holidays and cigars in export markets won't be cheaper as I'm sure a price increase locally will balance it all out

Excellent news, wish I was off to Cuba!

I remember reading an interview in CA with Jemma Freeman (last year, I think) in which she said that H&F have over two-years' worth of stock, so I suspect any price changes which would affect new imports would only filiter through quite slowly. (Whereas changes to tax/excise would filter through quite quickly as the cigars come out of bond more or less as sold I would suspect). Then again, I'm not an expert in business cashflows, so I may be wrong...
