"COURT OF APPEALS ALLOWS GENERAL CIGAR
TO CONTINUE SELLING COHIBA
WHILE IT APPEALS LOWER COURT RULING


NEW YORK, June 23, 2004-General Cigar announced today that the Second Circuit Court of Appeals had granted its request for a stay pending appeal of a lower court's May 26th ruling against General Cigar in the COHIBA trademark dispute with Cubatabaco.

The stay means that General Cigar will be permitted to continue marketing and selling COHIBA cigars while the appeal is pending.

"We are obviously pleased with the Second Circuit's decision," said Edgar Cullman Jr., president and chief executive officer of General Cigar. He noted further, "Stays are not usual in trademark cases, so this does give us encouragement."

General Cigar received its first registration of the COHIBA trademark in the United States in 1981, and obtained an updated registration in 1995. The company has been selling its COHIBA cigar in the United States for over two decades. The COHIBA line of cigars is handcrafted in the Dominican Republic and is a favorite among cigar connoisseurs.

Cubatabaco filed its lawsuit against General Cigar in 1997, claiming rights to the COHIBA name in the United States under U.S. law and international treaties, although Cubatabaco had failed to take any legal action against General Cigar for nearly 20 years."
