According to a distributor, this step was decided at a board meeting. What is behind the rumours? The co-owner and member of the Board of Directors, Louis-Charles Levy, now speaks exclusively to Zigarren.Zone.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"yoast-reading-time__wrapper\"><span class=\"yoast-reading-time__icon\"><svg aria-hidden=\"true\" focusable=\"false\" data-icon=\"clock\" width=\"20\" height=\"20\" fill=\"none\" stroke=\"currentColor\" style=\"display:inline-block;vertical-align:-0.1em\" role=\"img\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewbox=\"0 0 24 24\"><path stroke-linecap=\"round\" stroke-linejoin=\"round\" stroke-width=\"2\" d=\"M12 8v4l3 3m6-3a9 9 0 11-18 0 9 9 0 0118 0z\"><\/path><\/svg><\/span><span class=\"yoast-reading-time__spacer\" style=\"display:inline-block;width:1em\"><\/span><span class=\"yoast-reading-time__reading-time\">4<\/span><span class=\"yoast-reading-time__time-unit\"> minutes<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-yoast-seo-table-of-contents yoast-table-of-contents\"><h2>Table of contents<\/h2><ul><li><a href=\"#h-ruckblick-was-ist-passiert\" data-level=\"2\">Looking back: What happened?<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#h-ubernahmegeruchte-die-fakten\" data-level=\"2\">Takeover rumours: the facts<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#ressourcen-zum-thema\" data-level=\"2\">Resources on the topic<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#h-gemeinsam-diskutieren-uber-zigarrenbewertungen-zigarrenpreise-zigarrensammlungen-teile-deine-gedanken-und-meinungen-mit-der-community\" data-level=\"2\">Discuss together about cigar reviews, cigar prices, cigar collections: Share your thoughts and opinions with the community<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>I have communicated with Mr Levy. Mr Levy's statement is included in this article in the original French and in a German translation.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-ruckblick-was-ist-passiert\">Looking back: What happened?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In April 2024, it was announced that Habanos S.A., an organisation run by the Cuban government, was planning to change its export strategy. This organisation is responsible for exporting Cuban cigars worldwide. The new plans envisage significantly reducing deliveries to markets in which Habanos S.A. does not have full control over distribution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This strategic decision is part of a comprehensive reorganisation of Habanos S.A.'s distribution channels with the aim of gaining global control of the distribution networks. The importer in Switzerland, Intertabak AG, belongs to 50% Habanos S.A., 25% Villiger and 25% Levy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here are two articles at Zigarren.Zone:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.zigarren.zone\/de\/exklusivvertrag-gesichert-5th-avenue-uebernimmt-2024-vertrieb-von-habanos-zigarren-in-deutschland-oesterreich-und-polen\/\">Exclusive contract secured: 5TH Avenue 2024 with statement by Mr Levy on Intertabak AG<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.zigarren.zone\/de\/intertabak-ag-ringt-um-kubanische-zigarrenversorgung-in-der-schweiz\/\">Intertabak AG fights for Cuban cigar supply in Switzerland<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-ubernahmegeruchte-die-fakten\">Takeover rumours: the facts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The following is the German translation of the document I received from Mr Levy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">________<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201eThere are currently a number of rumours circulating that relate to Intertabak AG. The first would be a change in the shareholder structure. A quick look at the commercial register would be enough for anyone who is curious to make sure that this is not the case.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The shareholding is still the same.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I can confirm that nobody has approached me about a change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The second rumour says that deliveries for 2024 will fall by 40 %. There will be a decline in deliveries. The original production problems have not yet stabilised. This circulating figure corresponds to the reality of another distributor. Ours is lower.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The fact that all mixed distribution partners were officially informed of this decline is entirely in keeping with respect for relations between shareholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, this is not an indication of a possible reduction in delivery volumes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Switzerland was the third most valuable country in 2023 and the fifth most valuable country in terms of volume. This is testament to its maturity, solidity and the complete professionalism of the Intertabak AG team.\u201c<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">________<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Note: No shareholders and their shares are publicly visible in the extract from the commercial register.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">________<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here is the original French text:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"826\" src=\"https:\/\/www.zigarren.zone\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Louis-Charles-Levy-Statement-2024_2-1000x826.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-69957\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.zigarren.zone\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Louis-Charles-Levy-Statement-2024_2-1000x826.png 1000w, https:\/\/www.zigarren.zone\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Louis-Charles-Levy-Statement-2024_2-768x635.png 768w, https:\/\/www.zigarren.zone\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Louis-Charles-Levy-Statement-2024_2-15x12.png 15w, https:\/\/www.zigarren.zone\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Louis-Charles-Levy-Statement-2024_2-624x516.png 624w, https:\/\/www.zigarren.zone\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Louis-Charles-Levy-Statement-2024_2.png 1186w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Follow me \ud83d\udca8\ud83e\udd17<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>\ud83d\udc49 <\/strong><a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/v4silij\/\"><strong>Instagram @v4silij<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>\ud83d\udc49 <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/zigarrenzone\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>Instagram @zigarrenzone<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/www.zigarren.zone\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Follow-Me.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-69875\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.zigarren.zone\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Follow-Me.png 600w, https:\/\/www.zigarren.zone\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Follow-Me-18x12.png 18w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"ressourcen-zum-thema\">Resources on the topic<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/bl.chregister.ch\/cr-portal\/auszug\/auszug.xhtml?uid=CHE-106.048.276\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Extract from the commercial register of the canton of Basel-Landschaft: Intertabak AG:&nbsp;<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Article at Zigarren.Zone:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-wp-embed is-provider-zigarren-zone-zigarrenbewertungen-zigarren-kaufen-zigarrensammlungen wp-block-embed-zigarren-zone-zigarrenbewertungen-zigarren-kaufen-zigarrensammlungen\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"vtgOXH4gfO\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.zigarren.zone\/exklusivvertrag-gesichert-5th-avenue-uebernimmt-2024-vertrieb-von-habanos-zigarren-in-deutschland-oesterreich-und-polen\/\">Exclusive contract secured: 5TH Avenue to take over distribution of Habanos cigars in Germany, Austria and Poland in 2024<\/a><\/blockquote><iframe class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute;
