i just saw this and thought I'd pass it along....

We are pleased to announce that the Supreme Court has denied Cubatabaco’s
petition for review in the dispute over ownership of the COHIBA® trademark in
the United States.
The Supreme Court’s ruling affirms what we believed all along: That Cubatabaco
has no standing in challenging our ownership of the COHIBA® mark in the
United States.
Now that the Supreme Court has confirmed that we are the only legitimate
owner of the COHIBA® brand in the United States, we will enhance our
ongoing nationwide initiatives against manufacturers, distributors and retailers
of counterfeit COHIBA® cigars.
To this end, we are currently working on an update to our website. It is one that
will allow consumers to provide us with information about alleged counterfeiters.
Please look for this new feature on your next visit to cigarworld.com.
We would like to take this opportunity to thank those who have been loyal to
the COHIBA® brand during this process. We appreciate your support and look
forward to bringing you exciting new offerings from COHIBA® in the near future.
Sincerely,
Daniel Núñez
President and Chief Operating Officer
