YEREVAN, OCTOBER 8, NOYAN TAPAN. Armenia has all prerequisites for
becoming a regional expo-center for exhibition and sale of cigars,
Garo Buldukian, the owner of Garo Habano Fine Cigars enterprise
operating in the city of Santiago (the Dominican Republic) expressed
this opinion during a talk with NT correspondent. He said that it will
be possible to develop this sector of economy only through import
and sale as there are no favorable climatic conditions for growing
raw material for cigars in Armenia.
According to G. Buldukian, Garo Habano Fine Cigars has 300 employees
and produces 0.5 million cigars a year. He added that it is envisaged
to increase production to 1 million cigars soon. The whole production
is exported to the US and Europe.
The Diasporan Armenian businessman noted that 4 types of cigars made by
their enterprise were presented to the Armenian consumer at the "High
Smoke 2007" international festival held in Yerevan in September. "Now
we are waiting for responses, and in case of the respective offer we
will cooperate with cigar importing and selling companies of Armenia,"
he said.
