So, insert theme to The Brady Bunch tv show here...

2005: Swedish Match finishes acquisition of General Cigar.
2007: Henri Wintermans, a subsidiary of Scandinavian Tobacco Group A/S (STG), acquires CAO & Torano.
2007: Swedish Match acquires Cigars International and associated holdings.
2010: Swedish Match merges with STG. STG retains controlling interest so company name remains Scandinavian Tobacco Group.
