CAO isn't merging.

Read the article.

Remember Swedish Match bought out Cigars International?

Now STG owns 51% of ALL of them...the Torano Factory in Esteli, the Torano/Oliva factory in Danli, Honduras, General Cigar and Cigars International.

The article says the deal does not include SM's mass market US business. Wouldn't that include CI, or does mass market refer to machine-made smokes and not hand-mades?
