Sunday, February 28, 2010 HAVANA: Hundreds of wealthy merchants and cigar aficionados from all parts of the world gathered in Havana this week to bid high stakes for humidors full of premium cigars. Cuba's annual Habanos festival ended on Friday night with an auction of ornate humidors of cedar and mahogany stacked with hand-rolled stogies that raised 800,000 euros ($1.09 million dollars). Habanos S.A. executives this month said cigar sales fell 8 percent to $360 million in 2009, so they have created the Julieta, a smaller, milder version of the Romeo y Julieta cigar, aimed specifically at female smokers. Women now make up only 5 to 10 percent of customers for Habanos. But even with the creation of the Julieta, Garcia said Habanos has only modest hopes for 2010 sales, due largely to a weak economy in Spain, the biggest market for Cuban cigars.

I read the News about Maoists threatening. But, you know, the Congress, UML amd Maoists are equal. They are all culprits agents of Indian RAW. The fight like the cats and dogs.
Now, Nepalese people are suffering from the lawlessness, theft, robbery and killing, these are the by-product of Maoists YCL. Nepalese people have been seen so many criminals and anarchists enjoying impunity. A person does not feel safe to travel. Crime, corruption and scarcity of goods, political and social malpractices are increasing day by day. The government led by Maoists and their own workers are involving in violations.
I think, Maoist are going to establish anarchism in Nepal. The Maoists including PM Parchanda don't support the court decisions and they are going to destroy the sovereign-identity of Nepal army. Actually, they are not Communist. They are going to establish feudalism.
Maoist 'Prachanda' s videotape is telling that the Maoists' participation in the democratic process is a sham. The Maoists have been open their long-term goals to establish anarchism in Nepal. Actually, the causes of the crisis in Nepal are that the UN could not remain neutral. The UNMIN listens only to the Maoist rebels and the corrupt leaders of the so-called big party totally disregarded the aspiration of majority of the Nepalese people. By hatching such conspiracy Ian Martin, special representative of the UNMIN and others like him are working to push Nepal into a bloodier civil war and conflict by keeping even the UN headquarters under shadow. From the very beginning, UNMIN has been demoralizing Nepal Army and supporting Maoist and its rebel by allowing them to keep the weapons with them in the cantonment and let them start the youth force (YCL), who can be the law and order itself as they used to do during their revolution. Nowhere in the world, would a country be able to protect its sovereignty by making the national army weak and powerless?
So, I have decided that the Maoists, UML, Congress leaders are corrupt s & antinationalist. I hope they should be punished and there must be reinstated the monarchy in Nepal.
Thank you.
