Article Abstract:
Consumption of luxury cigars in the US and the US is up. Demand for cigar is increasing in the US as a result of stiff anti-smoking measures and promotional campaigns of the Cigar Aficionado magazine, which include political activities and conferences of cigar smokers. The most popular cigars at the moment are the seven-and-a-half-inch double coronas, the seven-inch Churchills and similar types. British cigar aficionados have an edge over their American counterparts because they have free access to Havana cigars, considered to be the best around the world. Because of the US trade embargo of Cuban goods, the country can import only those cigars coming from the Dominican Republic and Honduras. A problem facing cigar retailers is the shortage of outer wrapper leaves. However, things are looking bright again as the recent wrapper-leaf harvest has been good.

Short, sweet and relaxing
Article Abstract:
Weekend breaks are more advisable for busy career people than extended holiday vacations. Catering to these professionals who have limited spare time in their hands, several travel agencies offer tour packages that save both time and effort for the traveler. For example, packages such as Rainbow Holidays, Forte and Superbreak Mini-Holidays all offer quick jaunts to the Lake District with accomodation extending for only three nights at most. The said packages also provide trips to London. Center Parcs, on the other hand, offers short vacations in Sherwood Forest and Elveden, Suffolk. Trips to European countries are also being offered. Time Off, Paris Travel Service and Thomson all offer accomodations in Paris while other agencies offer package tours for other cities. A survey on the recreation habits of accountants is discussed.
