Marvin R. Shanken
From the Print Edition:
James Woods, May/Jun 97
(continued from page 2)
Carrillo: We ended up with 2.2 million cigars.
CA: What percentage was La Gloria Cubana?
Carrillo: About 60 percent.
CA: And the next largest brand?
Carrillo: Second was El Rico Habano and third was La Hoja Selecta.
CA: So in 1997 you'll produce 1.2 million in Miami and how many in the Dominican Republic?
Carrillo: In the D.R., about six million.
CA: You will go to six million?
Carrillo: That's what we're shooting for. The only thing that might hold us back is lack of tobacco, which is a big problem now.
CA: I think people are interested to know, first of all, is there a designation on the cigar band that says whether it's from Miami or from the Dominican Republic?
