CA: Fifteen million cigars are bundles with non-brand names.
DiMeola: Don't say they're non-branded.
CA: OK.
DiMeola: The business has evolved into bundles that are generic, branded bundles and private-label bundles.
CA: Generic, which is non-branded, branded and private label. Describe a private-label brand to me.

DiMeola: The Republica Dominicana. That's available at cigar stores across America. Matacan. Riata.
CA: Where are they made?
