An Ear 

to the 

Ground 

year we got together fo r 

the first time with David Eckles, 

of Carlton Promotions , 

and Dayton tvlatlick, publisher o f 

Tobacco Reporter . The reason for 

our meeting was to discuss a pro - 

position put to us by representatives 

of the international tobacco 

business . 

The industry expressed interest 

in an international exposition tha t 

would be staged once every fou r 

years, at the most, whether in Europe, 

Asia or America, and where 

their wishes regarding locatio n 

would always be taken into consideration 

. 

It was obvious at the time tha t 

certain false impressions would 

have to be eliminated when the project 

was first announced to ensur e 

that our concept would be full y 

understood . 

A basic principle of the concep t 

was, and remains, that we lend a 

ready ear to all the sug gestions an d 

requests coming from our partners 

in the tobacco industry . 

These ideas are taken very seriously 

and are discussed at lengt h 

during the regular meetings that w e 

hold. 

We have received enormous support 

for the new exposition an d 

congress concept from all our 

readers . 

® 3/92 


Over the last couple of month s 

no fewer than 75 companies fro m 

all corners of the world hav e 

reserved space at the 1994 exposition 

in Vienna. Stand bookings al - 

ready occupy more than 65 per cen t 

of the floor-space in the new, larger 

exhibition halls reserved for the 

event by the Wiener Hessen Gesellschaft 

. 

This has not only given us grea t 

encouragement, it has also given u s 

proof that the idea behind the Premier 

Exposition & Congress has 

been accepted absolutely by the international 

tobacco trade and industry 

. 

In the course of mane a conversation 

regarding the event, our attention 

has been drawn to the fact tha t 

misunderstandings could arise 

from the word TABEX . We wer e 

told that if we altered the nam e 

slightly we would put everyone' s 

mind at ease . 

Nothing is easier than that . TA B 

obviously stands for the industry 

and EX for the Exposition. To 

make the distinction clear between 

the event and companies within th e 

industry, we have added the P an d 

O of Exposition to the name to create 

TABEXPO . 

TABEXPO 94 is a clear express - 

ion of our concept and stands fo r 

your business connection .

The money will be used to modernis e 

the company's plants and increase to -

of BAT, expects the investment t o 

produce a S70 million increase in lea f 

exports on 1991's 5270 million and fo r 

ci garette exports to reach S50 millio n 

from S 10 million just five years ago . 

Souza Cruz recently started exporting 

cigarettes to eastern Europe and i s 

currently negotiating with Russia .

Hungarian Tobacco Journal Celebrate s 

Centenary in Debrece n 

The publishers of the Hungarian Tobacco 

Journal at the Tobacco Researc h 

Quality Development Institute in Debrecen 

used the occasion of the journal's 

100th birthday to bring together 

friends . colleagues and business contacts 

from eastern and western Europe . 

A two-day celebration programme i n 

Debrecen, from 7 to S May, was hel d 

with a view to promoti n g tobacco trad e 

possibilities in Europe, and especiall y 

amongst eastern European countries . 

Celebrations commenced at th e 

town's Deri Museum, where welcoming 

speeches were held by Mr Kar l 

Hahn of Austria Tabak . Dr Borsos, 

Editor-in-Chief of the Hungarian Tobacco 

Journal and Mr Sandor Elek . De - 

puty State Secretary of the Hun garia n 

Ministry of Agriculture . A tour of a 

special tobacco exhibition followed . 

Marty of the exhibits had been lent to 

the Deri Museum by Austria Tabak an d 

documented the historical ties of th e 

two countries Dr Herbert Rupp . Director 

of the Vienna museum was presen t 

to answer any questions . 

Speakers at an afternoon meeting a t

Romano .. Russian Consul in Debrecen. 

and Gydrgy Gilyan, Deput y 

State Secretary at the Hungarian Min - 

® 3/92 


istry of International Economic Affairs 

. 

Mr Gilyan explained that Hungary 

was eager to promote trade in Europe, 

and especially with eastern Europea n 

countries . He told guests that trade i n 

Hungary had been liberalised completely 

with imports no lon ger linked to 

licences . However, imports of leaf tobacco 

and tobacco products are as ye t 

regulated by a quota system . The quotas 

are rising and according to Mr Gilyan, 

will be abolished in two years . 

The Ministry of International Economic 

Affairs handles various trad e 

funds . All foreign companies operatin g 

in Hungary can make use of the fund s 

from the Foreign Investors Fund . I t 

supports would-be investors involve d 

in manufacturing, telecommunication s 

and road construction . Joint-venture s 

are also eligible for funds that must b e 

repaid within five years . 

The Russian Consul, Mr Yuri Romanov, 

noted that there was a hug e 

market East of Hungary to which i t 

should also turn for trade. He cornmented 

that many western European s 

and Americans were tradin g with Russia, 

but few Hungarians . 

On the second day of celebrations , 

aftera tourof the Tobacco Institute and 

the Debrecen: cigarette factory, whic h 

has been perchased by the German cig 

arette company Reemtsma . a podiu m 

discussion on the future of the Hungarian 

tobacco industry was held, once 

again at the Deri Museum . 

Panel members were Mr Jerse f 

Thuma . Deputy State Secretary for th e 

Ministry of Finance, Mrs Szilvia Gas - 

par. Senior Clerk responsible for tobacco 

matte:, at the Hun g arian Ministry 

of Agricclture, Dr Borsos and D r 

Borbely, both of the Tobacco Institute , 

and as panel chairman, Mr Hans-Ger d 

Koenen . Editor-in-Chief of Tobacc o 

Journal International . 

Mr Thuma informed those present 

that the tobacco industry in Hungary 

was one of the most stable industries i n 

the country . The government collected 

approximate) 20 billion forints in ta x 

from tobacco, making it a very import - 

ant source of income for the state cof-

fens. He said that one of Hungary's 

most pressing tasks, however, was t o 

eliminate tax evasion . It is estimated 

that six billion cigarettes are sold il . 

legally per year in Hungary. This is 2 5 

per cent of total sales and represents 

hu ge losses for the got ernment . Th e 

Ministry of Finance wishes to intro - 

duce tax stamps for tobacco products . 

A bone of contention between th e 

government and the tobacco manufacturers 

is the general ban on advertising. 

In the course of the discussion, a representative 

of Philip Morris commented 

that without advertising, th e 

producers had no way of introducing 

new products onto the market an d 

hoped that the government would b e 

prepared to discuss the matter with th e 

industry before taking any final decisions 

on a new late . 

Celebrations were concluded with a 

farewell dinner and ended an event tha t 

was proof that one could indeed mi x 

business with pleasure . (BH )

Troubled Times 

Having won the battle to force open th e 

South Korean and Thailand cigarett e 

markets . American tobacco companies 

are increasingly targeting Taiwan . 

Since cigarette imports into Taiwa n 

were legalised in 1987 sales of foreig n 

made cigarettes now have about 15 pe r 

cent of the market, plus an unquantifi- 

able additional amount serviced b y 

smuggled cigarettes . 

The Taiwan Tobacco & Wine Monopoly 

Bureau (TTWMB) controls th e 

tobacco trade in Taiwan, and is concerned 

not only with the increased sales 

of imported cigarettes, but what it has 

described as a general increase in the 

number of smokers and deleterious effect 

on people's health. 

Whilst the TTWMB is not permitted

allowed more freedom. 

Recent proposals by Taiwan' s 

Health Department which are strongl y 

supported by the Monopoly and th e 

local anti-smoking John Tung Founda - 

tion, would ban all advertising and pro - 

motion of cigarettes, and introduc e 

much more stringent anti-smokin g 

legislation . 

A delegation from Taiwan recently i n 

the US as pan of a Trade Missio n 

pressed for revision of the 1956 agreement 

allowing sales of foreign cigarettes, 

and according to a reliable report . 

made additional proposals, which included 

measures to ban advertising an d 

promotion, a ban on ci garette sale s 

through vending machines, disclosure 

of chemical additives in tobacco pro - 

ducts, a ban on smokeless tobacco, and 

introduction of an aggressive public 

education health programme in Tai - 

wan . 

These proposals when made publi c 

in the US received immediate suppor t 

from the American Medical Association, 

the American Public health Association, 

and the American Lung Association 

. 

A representative of these groups sai d 

at a press conference in Washingto n 

"US Trade Representative Carl Hills i s 

trying to interfere with Taiwan's plan 

for controlling tobacco use and the U S 

administration is going against previous 

commitments not to challenge tobacco 

regulations aimed at protectin g 

public health. The proposed law woul d 

apply equally to imported and domes - 

tic cigarettes sold in Taiwan, thus the 

law was not an unfair trade restriction . " 

The Monopoly itself is also under 

attack in Taiwan for a similar healt h 

reason ; one of its most popular brand s 

is called Long Life, which the anti - 

smoking lobby calls the "height of cyni - 

cism" . 

Tobacco production in Taiwan has 

been almost static for the last decade ; 

the average area under the crop i s 

stated in a recent official report of th e 

Agricultural Department, as 8500 h a 

and average annual leaf production a s 

22 000 tonnes . 

Leaf imports reached 22000 tonnes 

in 1989 but have since declined t o 

15000 tonnes : exports averaged 400 0 

tonnes in the last three years . Cigarett e 

imports averaged 5500 million pieces 

in the last four years, with exports 

stated as rising steeply from 20 millio n 

pieces in 1988 to an estimated 70 mil - 

lion pieces in 1991 . (AP )

As far back as 1902, E.A. Hail was alread y 

known around the United States as one of the 

country 's hest judges of tobacco . 

But for an ambitious young man like Hail , 

that just wasn't enough . 

o with a gleam in his eye and a suitcase full 

of the country's finest tobacco by his side, he set sail 

for Europe . 

And there, by foot or by train, byboat o r 

whatever it took, he made his way across the conti- 

nent, showing off his precious leaf to whoever would 

listen, whoever would give him the time ofday.

Today, the company 

started by Ma Hail and his 

financial partner still ha s 

the same reputation for 

great judgement made wit h 

European companies 90 years 

ago . And we still trade in the worlds finest tobacco . 

The only difference is that today we kno w 

more . We know what blend pleases what customer ,

UNITED STATE S 

Warning Lables 

Brown & Williamson Tobacco Corporation 

has announced that it will appl y 

US warning notices on cigarette pack s 

manufactured for sale in internationa l 

markets where the products are currently 

unlabelled . 

Most countries already require warnings 

on cigarettes and nearly all o f 

Brown & \Villiamson's international 

brands are purchased in those countries 

. 

The decision to apply the US Surgeon 

General's warnings is based o n 

the consideration that national warning 

notice requirements have spread perva - 

sively, and public officials in majo r 

countries are advocating universa l 

pack notices . It is now expected that 

ci g arette pucks cam earnings . 

Brown & Williamson stated that i t

Resilient Tobacco Trade i n 

Zimbabwe 

by Barbara Horne 

In March I99_2 , just before the tobacco auction floors opened in Harare, 

two questions were in the air regarding the future of Zimbabwe leaf . 

The first was whether the Land Acquisition Bill would affect 

commercial tobacco cultivation and second was whether the drough t 

would seriously affect the season's results . Zimbabwe's answer to bot h 

questions is that the tobacco trade is resilient and forceful enough t o 

overcome any real difficulties and dispel worries about any perceive d 

problems . 

The drought affected some areas 

very badly in Zimbabwe, but lat e 

rains at the end of March gav e 

the dryland crop a great boost . A silver 

lining to the drought was the lack of 

trouble with pests and diseases . Comparisons 

with the unhappy year of 193 7 

were tatulls misplaced and final cro p 

estimates before the auctions opene d 

stood at 150 .7 million kg . an increase o f 

5 per cent over the 1991 result. 

The first auction :ale was held on 3 1 

March and by the seek endin g 15 April 

Y- 

1992 10903 176 m had been sold averaging 

USS 1 .6353 per kg . 

In a move to curb currency speculation 

. auctions are being conducted i n 

L'S dollars for the first time in 1992 . 

Aserage price expectations were highe r 

before auctions commenced but no - 

body expected prices to reach the soaring 

levels of 1991 . However, a high 

local inflation rate means that the cur - 

rent aserage per kg more than 7 per cen t 

down on 1991 in Zimbabwe dolla r 

terms and approximately 47 per cen t 

14 3/92 ffn 


down in US dollar terms . A compariso n 

with 1991 is misleading in that it' wa s. a n 

unusual season, with merchants cornpeting 

for market share and currenc y 

speculation pushing prices for even th e 

lowest quality leaf up to totally unrealistic 

levels . In 1992 things are hack t o 

reasonable regions where quality dictates 

the price. 

Local Money Marke t 

Deteriorated 

Yet another difference to 1991 is the 

situation on the local money market . 

Interests rates stood at 15 per cent i n 

1991 and now stand at 30 per cent, so 

leaf merchants are anxious to keep lea f 

prices at a reasonable level in order t o 

compensate for the higher preshipmen t 

borrowin g costs . The merchants alsorecommended 

extensive prefinancin g 

to their clients . 

Leaf on offer during the couple o f 

weeks was mainly of lemon lower reapings 

from irrigated crops . Much of th e 

leaf was better in quality than anticipated 

and quality will improve eve n 

more as sales advance and the leaf tha t 

has profited from the late rains reache s 

the market. 

Costs to growers have escalated ove r 

the last twelve months, by an approximate 

30 per cent, which will reduc e 

margins . However, cultivation of flue - 

cured tobacco is still a very profitable , 

somethin g which can not be said fo r 

such crops as maize or cotton . 

Land Acquisitio n 

Bill 

Of course, farmers and merchants alik e 

regard the season as a not particularly 

brilliant one, but seasons come and go 

and Zimbabwe remains one of the mai n 

sources in the world of high-quality fla - 

vourful leaf. This year there will b e 

more filler material around, but there 

are plenty of customers for this kind o f 

tobacco . 

The second question mark over Zimbabwe 

is the Land Acquisition Bill , 

which is the cause of much discussio n 

and anxiety . Dr Mugabe has given hi s 

word that no productive land will be 

allotted for resettlement . It is difficul t 

CO assess how much this promise i s 

worth, though one would assume that 

the government knows which side its 

bread is buttered, with the tobacco in -

Cultivation of flue-cured tobacco remains very profitable in Zimbabwe. Photo : BH 

dustry in Zimbabwe earning more than 

1 .4 billion Zimbabwe dollars in export s 

in 1991, or an approximate 25 per cen t 

of the country's foreign exchange . 

It is seen by the trade and industry as 

a political move by the Mugabe regim e 

to appease those clamouring for socia l 

equality . The fact that commercial farmers 

support not only workers but 

whole families, who live in the accomo - 

dation provided on the farms, seems t o 

carry little weight . 

Neighbouring Zambia has seen the 

Land Act as an opportunity to lure experienced 

tobacco farmers away fro m 

Zimbabwe by offering them cheap lan d 

and few restrictions regarding the 

movement of foreign currency . Zim - 

babwe nationals are permitted to tak e 

out only very mea g re sums of foreig n 

currency annually. In addition, the 

soils and climate in Zambia are excellently 

suited to tobacco cultivation . 

Nevertheless, a sudden mass exodus of 

farmers is not expected . What ma y 

occur is a gradual move of the younger 

generation when the time comes fo r 

them to take over. Instead of staying o n 

the family farm in Zimbabwe, som e 

could decide to start farming in Zambia 

; however, this is mere speculation . 

As things stand farmers and trade ar e 

making plans for the next season . hoping 

for more clement weather and common-sense 

politics . a

A Mistake With 

Far-reaching Consequence s 

by Ernst G'uges jun . 

When Christopher Columbus set sail 500 :.ears ago to find a new se a 

route to India, at the time meaning China and the legendary Japan . he 

could in no way foresee his discovery of a new continent and of a new 

pleasure for Europeans in the form of tobacco. Until his death , 

Columbus remained convinced that he had arrived in India . During hi s 

search forgold and other treasures, he encountered natives who wer e 

inhaling the smoke of a weed . This weed . tobacco, proved a true 

gotdmine over the centuries for finance ministers around the world . 

C olumbus 

sailed for more than 6 0 

days in his quest to find a ne w 

sea passage to India. The unusual 

length of the voyage throug h 

completely unknown waters cause d 

growing unrest among the crews of th e 

vessels Santa Maria Pinta and Nina . A s 

a result, the following entries are foun d 

in Columbus's ship log book : 

Tuesday 9th October : He (Columbus) 

sailed north-west and covered five 

miles . The whole night they heard bird s 

flying past . (Columbus always entered 

somewhat lower mileages than those 

actually covered in order not to creat e 

further panic amongst the crew) . 

Wednesday 10th October : In the entire 

2_4 hours they covered 59 miles . At 

this point the men could no longer hol d 

out. They complained about the lon g 

voyage but the admiral encourage d 

them as much as he could and kindle d 

in them the hope of advantages whic h 

they could expect. 

Thursday 11th October : The crew o f 

the Pinta caught sight of a reed and a 

stick and fished both of them out of th e 

water. As a result of this encouragin g 

sign they breathed a sigh of relief. At 

2a .m . they spied land : they were abou t 

two miles from the shore . They waited 

until the Friday when they reached a 

small island of the Bahamas which wa s 

called Guanahani in the language of 

the Indians . Columbus now believed 

that he had reached the goal of hi s 

dream to have actually discovered a 

new route to India . 

in order to understand why Colum- 

bus had set out on such an adventurou s 

voya g e of discovery it is necessary t o 

take a brief' glance back to the the n 

political and economic situation in Europe 

. The conquest of Constantinopl e 

(Istanbul) by the Turks in 1453 seale d 

the end of the Bysantine Empire . As a 

result . trading by the Northern Italia n 

principal cities with the East came 

under the control of the Ottomans. The 

blockade of the North African an d 

Meditarranean trade routes to th e 

Orient by the Ottomans caused the Portuguese 

to circumvent the trade barriers 

by means of creating new shipping 

routes around Africa . 

In 1488 Banelomeu Dias with tw o 

carat cis reached the southern tip of Africa 

. This discovery now confirmed tha t 

the sea route to India via the Cape wa s 

open . Trade with the Orient had com e 

to a standstill and it was here that rar e 

spices more than anything else were 

sou g ht after. The prospect of acquirin g 

the legendary gold treasures an d 

precious stone deposits in China created 

g reat excitement throughout Europe 

. not least owing to the lack of gol d 

reserves in western countries compare d 

with the industrially superior Orient . 

Nevertheless, the newly discovered se a 

route to India was long and dangerous . 

't\ e now come to the story of Christopher 

Columbus. He was born i n 

Genoa in 1451 . His father was a respected 

member of the Cloth-worker s 

Guild . Columbus junior learned to 

write Latin and was taught mathematics 

. In accordance with Genoese tradi - 

lB 3/92 


tiun, he went to sea at the age of 14 an d 

during the following years he receive d 

his basic training in seamanship . I n 

about 1475 he sealed in Lisbon . At tha t 

time Portu gal was regarded as th e 

centre of voyages of discovery. In th e 

city of Villa do Infante there was a 

school for the study of navigation, cartography 

and geography as well as a n 

observatory . It was here that future se a 

captains and navigators were traine d 

and all new discoveries were carefull y 

entered in the nautical charts . Columbus 

soon obtained a general picture i n 

Portugal of the latest position concerning 

discoveries . 

During this time the thought ripene d 

in Columbus that the Orient should b e 

sought in the West. The spherical shape 

of the earth was considered to be a fac t 

by geographers and navigators. How - 

ever, the proportions of the continent s 

of Asia and Europe were incorrect o n 

the globe as the goegraphers were of the 

mistaken opinion that .Asia took up hal f 

the surface and that consequently it wa s 

not far from Europe in a westerly direction. 

Later on, Columbus sailed forth 

under this false assumption and th e 

voyage would have ended in tragedy i f 

the New World had not been precisely 

where he had assumed to find the wes t 

coast of India . 

In 1484 Columbus was granted a personal 

audience with King Dom Joao t o 

whom he presented the plan of seekin g 

India in the West. However, the Kin g 

was not particularly enthusiastic abou t 

this plan . Nevertheless, Portugal ha d 

secured the route to India exclusively 

via the southern Cape of Africa . Moreov 

es, a board of learned men appointe d 

by the King rejected the plan . 

It was therefore hardly surprising 

that subsequently Columbus would b e 

more successful in Spain with his project 

. Spain had more need than Portugal 

to seek a trade route to India west - 

wards. 

In any case. Columbus went to Spai n 

in 1475 with his son because, as told b y 

the contemporary chronicler Las 

Casas, he feared that the Portugues e 

King would throw him into prison an d 

might send an expedition to India with - 

out him . Whilst the Ottomans were successfully 

ouating the Europeans fro m 

the east of their empire, the Reconques t 

of Spain, that is to say the liberatio n 

from the Moors, was nearing its conclusion 

at the end of the 15th century . Th e 

Reconquest had lasted 700 years and i t 

undoubtedly left its mark on the 

country . Durin g the Renaissance. customs 

established by the Vandal ; an d 

Goths remained valid in the north o f 

the peninsula and Moorish custom s 

still predominated in the south . Th e 

long period of the Reconquest was reflected 

in the national character . ex - 

pressing itself in such forms as kni gh t 

errantry, defiance of death, trust in God 

and warlike initiative. 

In Spain too Columbus undauntedl y 

continued to beat the drum on behalf o f 

his daring project . Whilst so doing h e 

shrewdly spread the idea that the voya 

g e would have a Christian missionary 

character with more emphasis than i n 

Portugal . As a result he gained the sup - 

port of a large number of religious advocates 

. On the strength of this th e 

Queen's father confessor, Hernand o 

Talavcra, succeeded in arranging for 

him to be g ranted an audience with th e 

royal couple . The Spanish royal court 

also set up a commission of learne d 

men to study the plan of seeking a west - 

ern passage to India. 

However, they came to the conclusion 

that the Columbus project was impracticable 

. The royal couple refraine d 

from issuing a jud gement and sai d 

neither yes nor no to the plan . Columbus, 

who was still unshakenably convinced 

of the soundness of his idea, was 

almost on the point of leaving Spain i n 

order to submit his expedition plan to 

Kin g Charles VIII of France . However , 

it did not come to this . 

At that decisive moment Columbus 

considered it worth while to obtain th e 

support of high dignitaries of th e 

Church by stressing the missionar y 

character of his voyage . The Queen' s 

father confessor once again put in a 

word on behalf of Columbus and arranged 

a fresh audience at the court . I t 

was a propitious period and in 149 2 

Granada, the last bastion of the Moor s 

in Spain, capitulated . On 3 A u gust 149 2 

Columbus finally sailed from the small 

Spanish port of Palos, in the directio n 

of India, a country he was never to see . 

In spite of all the pretence that he wa s 

motivated by missionary zeal, what 

Columbus really desired from "India " 

was gold and more gold . This is prove d 

by his entries in the ship's lo g book : 

"He (Columbus) sailed to an island . . . 

called Babeque where it is said that th e 

people pick up gold from the beach a t 

night by torchlight and then ... by constant 

hammering make rods out of its . " 

In addition to the beautiful landscape 

reminiscent of Paradise . as re - 

corded by Columbus in Ms log book s o 

descriptively and brii!iactly, "India " 

also appeared to be a Garden of Ede n 

for precious metals And the natives . 

whom Columbus called "Indios", thu s 

maintaining and magn :f.ing his error . 

were described by him as friendly an d 

warm-hearted people who, wheneve r 

he asked them about gold, readily gav e 

him information and held out the prospect 

of fantastic hoards of gold . A s 

friendly people they knew precisel y 

what Columbus wished to hear. Th e 

description of the native inhabitants a s 

extremely peace-loving and innocen t 

was subsequently said to hate tempte d 

a host of adventurers, desperados an d 

common scoundrels to sail to the New 

World as they thought that no seriou s 

difficulties would be met in robbin g 

these people of their treasures . 

On Tuesday, 6 November, Columbu s 

discovered a completeh different kin d 

of treasure to which, however, he scare - 

cly attached any importance . He wrot e 

in his diary : "On the way the two Christians 

met many people walking throug h 

the villages, men and women, carryin g 

glowing pieces of wood and leaves wit h 

which they conducted the customary 

smoking habits . " 

Bishop Las Casa, in his "General Description 

of India" described the incident 

in greater detail : "The genera l 

smoking operations are carried ou t 

with dry leaves which are inserted into a 

specific equally dry leaf in the style of a 

fire-cracker which boys make up at 

Whitson . 

When it is ignited at the side, peopl e 

suck or quaff or draw on the smoke a t 

the other end by inhaling it . By such 

means they soothe their limbs an d 

become almost intoxicated but they sa y 

that they do not feel any fatigue . 

They themselves call these fire-crackers 

"tabacos ". I became acquainte d 

with Spaniards on the island o f 

Espanola . 

They were accustomed to using thes e 

"tabacos" and if they were criticised o n 

this account and told that it was a vic e 

they replied that it was beyond thei r 

power to cease this practice . I do no t 

know what use or taste they found i n 

it. Well, as far as taste is concerned, a s 

everybody knows this has always bee n 

open to argument . The use of tobacco , 

on the other hand became evident during 

the following centuries . Tobacco , 

the brown gold, has proved a neverending 

source of tat rcsertue . ■

Tobacco Passions an d 

Fashions from the Mayan s 

to the Europeans 

by Barbara Hom e 

The history of tobacco begins in 1492 for Europeans, but the plant wa s 

grown in present-day Mexico more than 4000 years ago by the Maya n 

Indians. They burned the leaves in their temples where they pai d 

homage to fire, which they believed to be a god . The knowledge of 

tobacco-growing passed via the Mayans to the Incas and the Aztecs , 

and to the Arawak Indians who settled in the West Indies, wher e 

Columbus eventually landed . 

The oldest European form of th e 

word tobacco is "tabaco". The 

Spanish adopted this word from 

the language of the Arawak Indians o f 

Haiti and Cuba. It denoted the cylindrical 

form of the tobacco rolls that th e 

Arawak's smoked, but it eventuall y 

came to mean the contents . 

The word cigar, like cigarette . i s 

derived from the Mayan word Ci q 

meaning combustible (its root ci or cii 

means pleasantly scented or tastin g 

good) and the Mayans are the firs t 

people known to have smoked cigars . 

The practice spread from Mexico to the 

other indigenous peoples of Central 

America. Demetrio Pcla was the firs t 

European to learn how to make cigars . 

He was taught in 1541, so he notes, by a 

Cuban Indian chief called Panduca, 

who had befriended him . Pela subsequently 

began to manufacture cigars o n 

Cuba, whence the practice spread t o 

Spain . 

Large scale production of cigars 

started in 1720 at the Royal Tobacco 

factory in Seville . 

The colonialisation that followed th e 

discovery of the New World and th e 

foundation of trading houses, such as 

the Spanish Casa de Contratacion de 

las Indias in Seville, in the first half o f 

the sixteenth century, meant that tobacco 

spread to Europe through firs t 

Spain and then Portugal. 

The first tobacco seeds were taken 

Pipe smoking was made fashionable in 

England by Sir Halter Raleigh . 

back to Spain as a curiosity withou t 

thought for possible uses . It was a 

Frenchman, called Jean Nicot de Ville - 

main, ambassador to the Portugues e 

Court, who in 1560 sent "tabac" to hi s 

queen, Cathrine de Medici, in Paris . H e 

sent her tobacco seeds and tobacco 

leaves in pulverised form for healin g 

purposes . The Queen gave her son th e 

powder, the future King Charles IX, t o 

be taken as snuff as a cure for migranes. 

Jean Nicot was the first person to 

identify a certain healing quality in th e 

tobacco plant . As early as 1590 th e 

plant was named "nicotiana" in recognition 

of his ser vices .

Tobacco Passions . . . 

So snuff was one of the initial form s 

of tobacco consumed in Europe, first a s 

a medicine and then for the mere plea - 

sure of it . It became a fashion for cen - 

turies amongst the high societies an d 

was enjoyed by ladies and gentlemen 

alike . 

In 1556 a French monk returned 

from Brazil and commenced cultivation 

of tobacco in France . Tobacco was 

soon grown as a decorative plant at al l 

the European courts. 

The introduction of tobacco to Europe, 

therefore. was as a medicine and 

as an ornamental plant . It was onl y 

available to the general public in apothecaries 

. 

In 1564 the English navigator Si r 

John Hawkins and his crew introduce d 

smoking to England after their retur n 

from North America . From England , 

tobacco reached Holland and Belgium . 

Germany became acquainted with the 

plant via Switzerland where a tobacc o 

plant is said to have been grown in the 

botanical gardens of Berne . 

The different routes by which tobacco 

reached various European coun - 

tries decided which form of consumption 

became popular first . 

In the southern part of the continen t 

nasal snuff was the first tobacco pro - 

duct to be consumed : in the northern 

countries pipe smoking became know n 

first . 

Pipe smokin g had a great tradition 

22 


among the Red Indian tribes o f 

America . The pipes varied greatly fro m 

tribe to tribe and were made of clay , 

wood . marble or jasper . The most important 

pipes for all the tribes werethose 

of war and peace . The war•pip e 

was shaped like a tomahawk : th e 

peace-pipe (Calumet) was heavily dec - 

orated and a heirloom of the tribe . 

Ralph Lane, the Governor of Virginia , 

LSA was the first man to smoke i n 

Great Britain in 1556 and it was Si r 

Walter Raleigh who made pipe smoking 

fashionable and socially acceptabl e 

in Elizabethan England . 

Smoking Originally 

Called Drinking 

What is now called smoking was generally 

described as drinking until the mi d 

seventeenth century. It is said that th e 

expression originated in the custom o f 

inhaling smoke and then allowing it t o 

escape through the nose . 

Students took the pipe-smokin g 

habit across the Channel to Holland 

arrd from there to Germany . 

In 1615 the commercial cultivation o f 

tobacco began in Europe in the town o f 

Amersfoort in Holland for the production 

of pipe tobacco. The Dutch tobacco 

farmers were pioneers and trail - 

blazers for the spread of tobacco culture 

in Europe . It was also the Dutc h 

tobacco agents and manufacturers who 

played leading roles in the tobacc o 

trade and industry for many centuries . 

Cigar smoking did not become fashion - 

able in England until the beginning o f 

the nineteenth century after the Peninsual 

War from 1808 to 1314. Soldier s 

returning from the war brou g ht cigar s 

back to England . By the middle of the 

century a flourishing manufacturing in - 

dustry had developed . During the 3 0 

Years War and the Napoleonic Wars 

cigar smoking spread around the whol e 

of Europe . 

When tobacco consumption becam e 

popular in Europe, the ceremony involved 

reflected to some extent th e 

spirit of the times . Life ran at a muc h 

more leisurely pace in former centuries , 

which also meant one had more time to 

enjoy a quiet smoke . The pipe dominated 

in the seventeenth and eighteent h 

centuries . One needed and still need s 

time and requisites to prepare a pipe . A t 

the beginning of the nineteenth century 

the cigar grew in popularity, needin g 

less preparation.

In the middle of the Nineteenth Century 

the cigarette became popular. I t 

needs the same time to light as a cigar , 

but is quicker to smoke . 

The first cigarettes in Europe were 

probably smoked in Spain in the 1760s 

and the Royal Tobacco Factory wa s 

producing them by I733 .They achieved 

a certain popularity in France, Germany, 

Turkey and other Europea n 

countries, but it was not until the orien - 

tal cigarette from Turkey and Russi a 

reached Europe during the Crimea n 

War that cigarette smoking really 

caught on . 

Before the cigarette appeared on th e 

scene, smoking remained a male habi t 

carried out indoors (often because i t 

was forbidden to smoke in public) . 

The cigarette changed all this , 

women took up the habit and it was n o 

longer unfashionable to smoke in public 

places . The final breakthrough i n 

popularity occurred after the First 

World War, and World War Two wa s 

responsible for the spread of the Ameri - 

can-blend cigarette in western Europe . 

Fashion now dictates that tobacco con - 

sumption is "out" in many Europea n 

countries, but Fashions come and go . 

For 4000 years, at least, tobacco ha s 

played a part in the culture of th e L l 

human race . For 500 years Europe ha s 

enjoyed the pleasures of tobacco i n c 

various forms and it is impossible to 

imagine a world without it. ■

The Columbus Legacy to a 

Tax-Hungry World 

by :Michael F. Barford 

If the world's tax collectors have a patron saint . he should h e 

Christopher Columbus . Nobody ever did more over the last riv e 

centuries to fill the coffers ofnational governments . Yet the explorer's 

role was innocent . He simply introduced to Europe the golden leaf tha t 

became the vehicle of taxation. Years later, fiscal mandarins round i n 

tobacco a means of extracting money from smokers. So briskly have 

smoking and, later. tobacco taxation developed since 1492 that worl d 

tobacco tax is now more than USS 140000 million a year and rising . 

hen the Italian biographe r 

Gianni Granzotto described 

tobacco as "perhaps the New 

world's greatest gift to the old" in hi s 

definitive life of Columbus, he had in 

mind the pleasure of smoking, not th e 

wealth that tobacco has since generated 

. Wealth arises from commercial 

exploitation of resources such as crops , 

and exploitation implies trade . 

Although nicotiana tabacum and nicatiana 

rusrica were being cultivated i n 

northern Brazil, Central America an d 

the Caribbean by American Indians be - 

fore Columbus sailed the Atlantic, i t 

was for the delight and rituals of the 

communities that grew it ; evidence of 

anything that could be called trade i s 

scant. Trade had to await the arrival i n 

Europe of samples of dried leaf and , 

more important, knowledge of the howto 

of smoking, first observ ed in Cuba b y 

Luis de Torres . 

Trade — the movement of commodities 

in bulk from one place to an - 

other — started when tobacco and 

smoking advanced from being a botanical 

and anthropological curiosity to be - 

coming an accepted luxury in Spai n 

and Portugal during the first half of th e 

16th Century, thereafter spreading 

widely around the known world over a 

short time-span . By 1590, if not earlier, 

the first Customs duties were impose d 

on tobacco and within a few years the 

notion of excise taxing tobacco became 

established, at least in Europe . wher e 

the concept of state tobacco monopolies 

also took root . 

Although the first official criticism o f 

smoking followed soon after, most notoriously 

in Britain, Turkey and Russia , 

the systematic use of taxation to admonish 

smokers had to wait 350 years , 

until the 19705, to become familiar i n 

much of the world . By that time, no t 

only had cigarette smoking — largely a 

20th Century phenomenon — becom e 

virtually universal, but the sheer quantity 

of tobacco consumed meant rich 

revenue yields for governments, what - 

ever their motives for taxing smoking. 

And as tax levels have risen, the ta x 

base itself has soared : world consumption 

of tobacco has almost double d 

since 1960 . 

The tax money that tobacco generates 

world-wide is so huge that it strains 

imagination . I estimate that in 1992 th e 

world total will be just over USS 140000 

million . The 1992 figure seems to b e 

around 3 per cent of all the tax revenue 

of all the world's governments combined. 

Indeed, the projecte d 

USS 140000 million is greater than th e 

gross national product of all but th e 

world's 20 richest countries . And fo r 

many governments, of which Chin a 

and Brazil are striking examples, tobacco 

tax is the largest single source o f 

national revenue. A rough averagin g o f 

the world's tax impacts suggests tha t 

tax accounts for between 55 per cen t 

and 60 per cent of that smokers ever - 

where pay for tobacco products, actua l 

rates ranging between 86 per cent i n 

Denmark and very little in poor Thir d 

World countries .

Tobacco tax needs definition . Countries 

with centrally-planned economics 

and some in the process of emerging 

from Communism do not identify as 

tax the profits that state-owned tobacco 

monopolies pay to the government . I n 

practical effect, the distinction is se - 

mantic . The profit amounts to tax, sinc e 

it is included in what smokers pay fo r 

tobacco products and the money goe s

CONTRABAND IN WCRLD 

CIGARETTE TRAD E 

(1991 estimates, 

In 1991, almost27per centof total International 

trade in cigarettes was apparently 

contraband, 

26 


ter being called tax and the rest being 

profits remitted by Bulgartabac — further 

tax in all but name . 

Generally speaking, the only way in 

which tobacco taxes change is up - 

wards : cuts are rare, though not entirel y 

unknown where a previous increase i s 

recognised to have been hasty and foolish. 

In Third World cases that come to 

mind, the signal that a rise was stupi d 

came, not from protesting smokers no r 

the bad consciences of rulers, but fro m 

awareness that smuggling was increasing 

briskly. In future, there may b e 

some advanced-country backtrackin g 

(or at least restraint) as the extent t o 

which the freest form of free trade, contraband, 

is felt to hit national revenues . 

Contraband has been booming world - 

wide since 1933 and particularly sinc e 

the start of the present decade- Exact 

data are of course elusive in this mist y 

area, but I estimate that more than a 

quarter of the cigarettes traded internationally 

in 1991 were smuggled int o 

destination countries, after making ful l 

allowance for duty-free and simila r 

trade in special tax circumstances. 

The tendency for tobacco taxes i n 

developed countries to rise towards levels 

where about three-quarters of retail 

prices is tax makes contrabandiers ' 

effort . investment and risk eminentl y 

worth while in some of the world's most 

sophisticated countries . Taxes need not 

be so high to make smuggling attractiv e 

— as can be seen in such familiar area s 

as the Arabian Gulf and nearby states , 

the Caribbean, South American countries 

bordering the River Plate, Wes t 

Africa and various parts of Pacific Asia . 

I can foresee continued increase in contraband 

in circumstances where duty - 

evasion is not the dominant motive . 

Simply getting attractive cigarettes of 

known quality into territories whos e 

domestic production and /or norma l 

import trade and internal distributio n 

are dislocated — parts of the Common - 

wealth of Independent States, Romania 

and Iraq are examples — is a 

potential profitable challenge t o 

smuggling enterprise . 

I even wonder whether the EC's in - 

tended ban on cigarettes with more 

than 12mg of tar may encourage th e 

unofficial inflow of more robust pro - 

ducts if it comes into effect on the du e 

date of 31 December 1997 . By that tim e 

some countries with traditions of fuller - 

flavour smoking may be on the point of 

joining the Community.

bacco taxation" It will he ever mor e 

oppressive, whichever of the two mai n 

scenarios is prefe-ed . Under the first , 

world tobacco consumption (at presen t 

still rising ) will eventually peak, possibly 

in the early days of the next millenium 

and thereafter subside gently : finance 

ministers will keep pushing taxe s 

up until the reality of the law of diminishing 

returns induces them to stop . 

Under the second scenario (plausible 

if the world grows impatient of government 

nannying and anti-smokers' nagging), 

consumption will continue to rise 

with the increase of world population , 

of smoking by women, of urbanisatio n 

and other positis e influences, while th e 

advent of new and fashionabl e 

"causes" for governments to pursue 

(such as taxing ener gy consumption ) 

will deflect interest away from taxin g 

tobacco . 

For the more ingenious finance min - 

isters in advanced countries, there ma y 

also be something new to tax . Pharmaceutical 

industries see fortunes to be 

made out of products such as nicotin e 

chewing gum, tablets, skin patches tha t 

slowly release nicotine into the body 

and like preparations conceived to 

lighten nicotine withdrawal symptoms . 

Nicotine appears to be the key ingredient 

of most of these products . Whil e 

they may be intended to help smoker s 

to quit their habit, they might be a wa y 

for smokers to continue to get the nicotine 

they are accustomed to, without the 

"tar" in ci g arettes . Should they becom e

will has e to consider whethe r 

to tax these products as they tax tobacco

Automatic cigarette production in the 1910s . 

The Quest for Speed 

by Hans-Dietrich Klopfer 

The shredded tobacco leaves rolled in maize leaves smoked by th e 

natives of the New World now have little to do with today' s 

sophisticated cigarettes, except that the most important ingredient i s 

tobacco . Christopher Columbus would probably not recognize th e 

modern cigarette for what it is, but he would be impressed by th e 

engineering ingenuity that has brought automatic manufacture so far . 

n the second half of the 19th century 

experiments were undertake n 

I to produce cigarettes automatically 

. Prior to this cigarettes were produced 

on a large scale by hand. Th e 

famous Seville tobacco factory during 

® 3/92 


the 18th century turned out great quantities 

of cigarettes, hand made by ro w 

upon row of female employees . The 

first cigarette factory in France was established 

in 1824 and also produce d 

hand-made cigarettes, and the first in -

The Quest . . . 

dustrial compan y to make h. ;d•mad e 

cigarettes in Germany was ripened i n 

Dresden in 1362 . Austria fo lloaed i n 

1870 in Hainbur_ . 

A woman could complete four or liv e 

cigarettes a minute, but this '.vas onl y 

achieved by the most nimble . 

The first cigarette machine to attract 

international attention was develope d 

by the inventor Susini, owner of th e 

Honradez cigarette factory in Havana . 

His machine caused a sensation amon g 

visitors to the Paris Exhibition of 1367 . 

The Susini machine produced 60 cigarettes 

a minute . On the basis of a girl 

making three cigarettes a minute, sh e 

needed 20 minutes to product the sam e 

number . 

In 1876 the first attempts at producing 

cigarettes by machine in German y 

were carried out in Dresden by Ott o 

Bergstr5sse. These experiments centred 

around making cigarettes from continuous 

tobacco rod, but came to nothing 

because of the low output of th e 

machines . How'e%er. Bergstrasser coun - 

tinued to experiment and in 1380 

patented his cigarette machine for making 

a continuous tobacco rod . The cigarettes 

were cut to their correct le n g th b y 

hand . In the same year, the French engineer 

Anatole Edouard Decoufl introduced 

his first ci g arette fillin g ma - 

chine, the Decoufle N3, which had a n 

output of 20 cigarettes a minute . A conveyor 

belt carryin g tobacco loaded b y 

hand fed this machine. 

On the other side of the Atlantic , 

James Bonsack of Virginia patented a 

cigarette machine in 1881 that produced 

120000 cigarettes a day . 

The tobacco was fed into the machine 

from a hopper equipped with rollers 

and the cigarette rod was divide d 

into pre-determined lengths by ma - 

chine . 

Bonsack set up the first cigarette rod - 

making machine in Allen & G ;nter's i n 

the US in 1381 and in 1887 all the com - 

pany's factories had been equippe d 

with this model, albeit with certain improvements 

. 

The company some misgivings abou t 

machine-made cigarettes . Firstly . because 

a certain resistance was expecte d 

from consumers used to hard-rolle d 

products and secondly because a larg e 

number of women were made redundant 

. 

However, pro gress of automati c 

manufacture was not to be halted . 

30 


In :383 the Bonsack machine was set 

up for the first time in England, in the 

Wills Company. In the years that followed 

the machine was modified and 

reached an output of 300 cigarettes a 

minute. 

At the 4th Tobacco Trade Exhibitio n 

held in London in 1897 an America n 

called Bernhard Baron displayed a cigarette 

maker capable of making 4S0 

cigarettes a minute . 

A cigarette filling machine called th e 

Gallia was introduced by Decoufle in 

1908 . An innovation of this machin e 

was the automatic feed of tobacco fro m 

a hopper . Its job was to feed cut tobacco 

to the filling machine, a task previously 

carried out manually . 

Universelle of Dresden introduced 

its first operational cigarette rod machine 

in 1910, the Excelsior III B , 

which had an output of 250 cigarettes 

per minute . By 1921 the efficiency o f 

the machine had increased to 1000 

cpm . 

In 1914 Decoufle were able to put o n 

sale an improved version of the 190 8 

Gallia. At the same time the compan y 

brought out their first rod-making ma - 

chine, the UD 5, which had a maximu m 

rate of 500 cigarettes per minute . 

Du Brul of Cincinnati, US matche d 

this speed in 1919 with the 4 CC cigarette 

machine . 

The Susini machine - 1878. 

The Excelsior Ra p id from Lniyerselle 

of Dresden achieved speeds o f 

1 100 cpm in 192 : and by 1930 it was 

running at 1300 . 

Molins Machine Company of Lon - 

don, which was founded in 1912 introduced 

its first cigarette maker to th e 

industry in 1926 . This was the Mark I, a 

machine that ran at 1000 cpm. Th e 

Mark 5 came onto the market in 193 0 

with an output of over I000 cpm an d 

served the cigaret e industry until 1953. 

Decoufle introduced the Velo x 

maker in 19_6 . This was an improve d 

version of the 1911 L'D5 . The .Arenco 

Company took a majority share in Decoutle 

in 1928 and in 1934 the compan y 

brought out the LOV. which ran at 120 0 

cpm. and in 1934 the LOB was introduced 

. which ran at 1 500 cpm . 

In 1929 the owner of Universelle . 

Johann Carl Muller . took over production 

of the Triumph cigarette maker i n 

Dresden, with an output of 1 200 cpm, 

from the local United Cigarette Machinery 

Company . Around 1930, the 

Dresden-based Progress Company , 

which had developed a cigarette make r 

with an output of between 1800 to 2 00 0 

cpm . was taken over by Universelle . It 

was only possible to achieve such ahig h 

output on the machine because it onl y 

produced round cigarettes, i .e . without 

gold, cork or straw tip s 

In 1935 Walter Molins built the Mark 

6, which also produced more than 1 000 

cpm . 

After the Second World War Uniyerselle 

became a state-ow ned company i n 

the Soviet-occupied zone of German y 

and was eventually named VEB Tabakund 

lndustriemaschinen, Dresden . Th e 

technical director of the old Universelle, 

Kurt A . Utter. moved to Ham • 

burg and founded the Hauni-Werk e 

KSrber 8 Co . KG . In 1949 Haun i 

brought out the Excelsior Rapid KDC , 

a maker with an output of 1350 cpm . 

Four years later there followed th e 

Super Rapid KDZ. a high-speed ma - 

chine with an output of 1400 cpm , 

which was gradualiy increased to 1 75 0 

by 1965 . 

Molins brou g ht out a new dark 6 i n 

1953 . Unlike the previous Mark 6 o f 

1935, it made 1350 cpm. As early as 

1950, Molins were incorporating a filte r 

device in their Mark 5 and Mark 6 machines 

. These were the first steps to - 

wards improvements in design. 

The Decoufle LOD model was introduced 

in 1955 and ran at 1 500 cpm .

The Quest . . . 

the conventional principle of the rod - 

machine. Design improvements wer e 

made and innovations included photo - 

electric cigarette counters, automati c 

cigarette wei ghing units. cigarette catchers 

with twin turrets and tobacco rod 

monitors . All these improvements con - 

tributed to the increase in output . 

During this period, with speeds of 

2500 cpm being achieved, it was becoming 

increasingly impossible for th e 

workers to fill the cigarette trays b y 

hand . In 1950 Molines addressed thi s 

problem and designed various tray fillers 

. 

A revolutionary step in cigarette 

maki n g came from VEB Tabak in Dres - 

den in the form of the DK cigarette 

maker that could produce 1 500 plai n 

cigarettes per minute or 1 100 tippe d 

products. The advantages of the ma - 

chine lay in the new style of construction 

and operation and in the man y 

improvements made to individua l 

units. It used a vertical-column hopper 

with a new type of tobacco feed . A 

photocell controlled the even feed o f 

tobacco and automatic tobacco fee d 

became superfluous as one operative 

could supply ten machines with cut tobacco 

from chests . A large form whee l 

took the tobacco from the tobacc o 

trough located just above floor level t o 

shape it into a rod without pressing i t 

until it reached the garniture. A newly - 

developed tongue stripped the tobacc o 

rod from the form wheel . The engineers 

had dispensed with the hopper and th e 

tobacco conveyor belt. The tobacco ro d 

combined with the cigarette paper as i t 

was fed in and passed on to the garniture 

. All subsequent operations wer e 

performed in the conventional manner. 

As a result of the new method of pre - 

shaping the tobacco rod without pressing 

it, together with the even distribution 

of the tobacco in the vertical column 

hopper, it was possible to mak e 

cigarettes with a very good, even fill of 

tobacco . It was also possible to fee d 

cigarettes into an automatic weighin g 

unit periodically which checked an d 

lo g ged the weight of twenty cigarette s 

twice every minute . 

It was the idea of the French inventor, 

Francis Auguste Maurice Labbe o f 

Orleans to form the tobacco rod by suc - 

king tobacco onto the under side of a 

suction band which allowed air to pass 

through it . Dccoufle patented the invention 

in 19:4. The idea led to a new 

1988 — 10 000cpms. Photos: TJI.4rchhcs 

era in the construction of cigarette makers 

and made speed increases possibl e 

while maintaining cigarette quality . 

In 1957 Decoufle introduced the - 

LOF machine. The idea of using a 

trimming unit, a further invention of 

Labbe's from 1943 . was incorporate d 

into the design . The output of the ma - 

chine was 2000 cpm and was increased 

to 2 500 cpm . All machines since then 

have used this principle of tobacco suc - 

tion . Decoufle made its patents avail - 

able to competitors by means of licens - 

ing a greements . 

labbe moved to Molins where hi s 

idea was not only the basis for the Mark 

8 but all subsequent models . 

The Mark 8 was introduced in 195 8 

with an output of 1600 cpm ; by 197 1 

output was up to 3 000 . 

A new machine generation fro m 

Hauni-Werke was introduced in 195 9 

called the Garant . The Garant I produced 

1500 cpm . By 1968 the Garant 4 

was producing 4000 cpm . The only difference 

in operation between the Garant 

I and the Garant 4 was that whils t 

the pneumatically-fed cut tobacc o 

passed directly into the hopper of the 

Garant 1, on the Garant 4 a pre-distributor 

was interposed . 

Decoutle came onto the market wit h 

the LOG machine in 19"0 with an output 

of 4000 cpm . This was followed i n 

1976 by a complete ci g arette maker 

with plug assembler . the LIB, and the 

LUD tray filler . In 19"9 ARE\'C O 

withdrew their capital from Decoufle ; 

shares were subsequently taken up by 

Hauni . 

In 1971 Molins replaced the Mark 3 

by the Mark 9 which ran at 4000 cpm . 

Five years later in 1976 the Mark 9- 5 

was introduced with an output oil 000. 

By 1978 speeds of 6000 were bein g 

achieved with the Hauni PROTOS an d 

in 1982 the PROTOS was running a t 

7200 cpm . 

Molins bro u g ht the Mark 10 onto th e 

market in 1984 with speeds of 3 000 cp m 

and Hauni's PROTOS 8000 went int o 

series production in 1985 . 

9 000 cpm were produced by the Mo - 

lins Mark 10 in 1936 . 

In 1988 the pace was set for the 1990s 

with the PROTOS 100, which reache d 

the magic 10000 cpm . 

Speed has always fascinated engineers 

and machines running at 12000 

cpm are now undergoing trials ; speed s 

of 15000 cpm are no longer a pip e 

dream . 

The road was long and hard front th e 

inventor Susini's first cigarette ma - 

chine, producing 60 cigarettes a minut e 

in 1867 . Creative genius and intensiv e 

research and development were required 

to build cigarette machines 

which, in terms of precision . perfection 

and maximum efficiency, represen t 

masterpieces of modem technology . 

Much was made possible by Labbe 's 

idea to form the tobacco rod by suction . 

In addition, modern transmission tech - 

nology and electronics have contributed 

to the high speeds . >s

German Cigarette 

Manufacturer s 

Profit From Reunification 

by Folker Kling 

In 1991 German cigarette manufacturers produced 201 .6 billio n 

cigarettes, 13 .3 per cent more than in 1990 . Excise stamps for a quantity 

of 146 .7 billion cigarettes were procured for domestic sales, the retai l 

value of which was 31 .1 billion DM. Exports rose by 60 .9 per cent t o 

86.9 billion cigarettes . Imports in 1991 totalled 9 .4 billion pieces (a rise 

of 4.1 per cent) . 

I n 

1991 the German cigarette secto r 

enjoyed a buoyant phase o f 

growth . In the western part of Germany 

manufacturers of proprietary 

brands supplied 120 .046 billion cigarettes 

to the trade . Compared with 199 0 

1114 .896 billion) this represents an in - 

crease of 4 .5 per cent or 5 .15 billio n 

pieces . 

However, with regard to thes e 

figures, it must be borne in mind tha t 

they refer to deliveries effected on th e 

basis of invoicing. This means that th e 

cigarettes were delivered to wholesalers 

and chain-stores and sold in the eastern 

part of Germany but invoiced to th e 

west German head offices of these trading 

companies and booked under wes t 

German deliveries . At a rough estimate , 

this could represent a difference o f 

about 3 .5 billion cigarettes . 

Sales of proprietary brands in east 

Germany were correspondingly low a t 

a figure of 19 .420 billion pieces . 

Direct comparative figures for 1990 

are not available for this market as i t 

was only about mid-1990, when the former 

East German factories were take n 

over by West German concerns, that i t 

was possible for exact sales figures to 

be calculated. On the whole, however, 

there is a wide gulf in the new Federa l 

states between the sales of proprietary 

brands in 1991 and the less than 3 0 

billion annual cigarette consumptio n 

prior to reunification . 

In this connection. the high volume 

® 3192 


of contraband, particularly from Poland 

and Czechoslovakia, estimated at 

between 4 and 6 billion cigarettes . 

gained considerable ground . 

In addition, there occurred a substantial 

drop in stocks in east Germa n 

trading concerns after it was ascertained 

that stocks in 1990 had bee n 

allowed to rise too steeply . 

Sales of proprietary brands of ci g arettes 

in the whole of Germany during 

1991 amounted to a total of 139.466 

billion pieces . In addition there wer e 

5 .954 billion private label cigarettes i n 

western Germany (1990 — 6.504 billion, 

i . e. a drop of 8 .5 per cent) an d 

only about 135 million private label cigarettes 

in the new Federal states 

where, as a result of competition wit h 

the low-price east German brands an d 

contraband cigarettes, suppliers obviously 

did not wish to come in with 

their own brands . 

Consequently, total sales of factory - 

made cigarettes delivered to the German 

trade in 1991 were 145 .535 billio n 

pieces . 

If to this is added a volume of abou t 

15 billion roll-your-own cigarette s 

(sales of fine-cut 14900 tonnes) as wel l 

as 8 .6 billion cigarettes which entere d 

the country within the framework o f 

small-scale border traffic and contra - 

band from abroad, the overall Germa n 

cigarette market amounted to over 16 9 

billion pieces . 

All things considered, there is no

REPORT S 

German Cigarette . . . 

doubt that the German cigarette market, 

especially the west German part . 

displayed a healthy increase in 1991 . 

However, one should not conclude 

From this that the existing consume r 

groups have switched to smoking i n 

greater numbers . On the contrary, the 

rise is due, as before, in particular to the 

large number of immigrant forei g ners 

and asylum-seekers an increase o f 

350000) as well as refugees (an increas e 

of 220000) who, in view of their ag e 

structure, and their consumer buying 

habits, contributed to a stronger demand 

for cigarettes . 

With regard to the way in which consumption 

is split up among the different 

price ranges, the trend of the previous 

year was maintained . In west 

Germany there was no change in th e 

demand for cigarettes in the uppe r 

price range at a level of 56 per cent . 

Demand in the popular price range fell 

slightly to just under a 28 per cent shar e 

of the market whilst the lower price 

ranges experienced a distinct rise to al - 

most 16 per cent . The price range for de 

luxe products re gistered a market share 

of just under one per cent . Within the 

individual price ran g es it is possible t o 

observe an ever-growing expansion i n 

the scale of prices. 

Completely different was the situation 

on the eastern German market 

where in 1991 the higher popular price 

range had a share of only 15 per cen t 

and the standard popular price range 

12 per cent . On the other hand, the 

older east German brands and othe r 

low-price brands specially offered fo r 

sale on this market had a share of 73 pe r 

cent. 

In Germany as a whole the picture i s 

as follows : 50 per cent of sales are in the 

higher popular price range, 26 per cen t 

u1 the standard price range and 24 pe r 

cent in the lower price ranges . 

The trend in favour of lighter cigarettes 

underlines the continued rise in the 

market share of filter cigarettes. In the 

case of proprietary brands in west Germany 

the market share in 1991 wa s 

94 .11 per cent (previous year : 93 .56). I n 

Germany as a whole, taking privat e 

label cigarettes into account, the market 

share was 95 .2 per cent . 

Light cigarettes continued to be o n 

the advance in 1991, the nicotine con - 

tent being up to 0 .8 mg and tar conten t 

up to 10 mg . In the case of proprietary 

brands, the market share of light ciga -

German Cigarette . . . 

:cues in west Germany was 21 .84 pe r 

cent. This a g ain showed a distinct increasecompared 

with the previous yea r 

(20 .99 per cent). 

Within the sector of light cigarettes , 

the ultra-li ghts have now achieved a 

significant role. These include cigaret - 

tes with a maximum of 0 .4 mg nicotine 

and 4 mg of tar. During 1991 in Germany 

as a whole ultra-lights had a mar - 

ket share of : .06 per cent (5 .72 per cen t 

in the west and 0 .30 per cent in the east) . 

Despite the high level of wages in th e 

Federal Republic of Germany, there i s 

no doubt that it is an exceedingly favourable 

production area for the cigarette 

industry . not only in respect of th e 

home market but also, to an increasin g 

extent, for European and extra-European 

export markets . With a prolifi c 

quantity of 201 .596 billion cigarettes 

(provisional figures of the Federal Statistical 

Office), the industry succeede d 

for the first time in eclipsing the 200 

billion mark . Compared with the previous 

year (177 .86 : billion), this constitutes 

a rise of 13.3 per cent . In addition 

to the increased volume on the do - 

mestic market there was also a rise i n 

exports, particularly to Eastern Europe, 

Italy . France and the Middl e 

East . 

Cigarette exports rose to ap e xceptional 

level in 1991 . They went through 

the roof by over 60 .9 per cent to 56 .92 8 

billion pieces at a value of 1 .828 billion 

Scc- aCcece•ai :vaa~ .t(DL7-5-1948,•11235' 

FONOATA 1L 23 GIUGNO 1901 

DM (a rise of 28 .5 per cent) . These hig h 

growth rates were due to two reasons : a 

higher level of exports to the "traditional 

-' importing countries, Franc e 

and Italy, on the one hand, and to eastern 

Europe, and the Middle East o n 

the other hand . 

During 1991 imports of cigarettes di d 

not rise quite so dramatically as es - 

ports. In terms of quantity, imports in - 

creased by 4.1 per cent to 9 .369 billio n 

pieces . In terms of value the rise was 1 . 6 

per cent to 206.8 million DM. The leading 

supplier was, as before, the Nether - 

lands, which shipped 2 .938 billion cigarettes 

(a rise of 3 .1 per cent) at a value of 

45 .3 million DM (a rise of 7 .4 per cent) . 

Belgium and Luxemburg followed almost 

equally with 2 .811 billion pieces ( a 

drop of 0.8 per cent) and a value of 51 . 2 

million DM (a drop of 18 .7 per cent) . 

However, the greatest joy derive d 

from the flourishing German ci g arett e 

market in 1991 must have been that o f 

the German exchequer . The revenu e 

obtained from tobacco duty increase d 

by 15.8 per cent corresponding to a 

total of 18 .825 billion DM . However, a 

considerable proportion of the increas e 

was due to the fact that the tobacco 

duty revenue from the new Federa l 

states in 1991 was fully integrated int o 

this figure whereas in the previous yea r 

this was the case only in the fourth 

quarter . Moreover, during 1991 th e 

price rises in October also resulted in a 

marked increase in the exchequer's in - 

come . 

As a result of the n o o.v complete inte - 

gration of the East German market wit h 

its predominantly low - p rice brands, th e 

average tax burden on a cigarette ros e 

minimally from 12 .5$ to 1 2_ .36 pfennigs . 

Likewise the average selling price of a 

cigarette remained almost constant, th e 

rise bring very slight from 21 .17 to 21 .2 1 

pfennig . 

Philip Morris, still the marke t 

leaders, were able, on the growing Ger - 

man ci garette market, not only distinctly 

to increase their deliveries bu t 

also to expand their share of the marke t 

still further. In the old Federal states 

(West Germany, they achieved sales o f 

41 .597 billion cigarettes, i . e. an in - 

crease of 3 .498 billion or 92 per cen t 

more than in 1990 . As a result of thi s 

renewed aceleration of their rate o f 

growth, with a market share of 32.99 pe r 

cent they exceeded their previous year's 

level by 1 .62 percentage points . And as 

in 1990, it was Marlboro Li g hts whic h 

made the biggest contribution to this 

improvement . 

However, the market's number two , 

the Reerntsma group . also had even' 

reason to be satisfied . It was thanks i n 

particular to the situation in western 

Germany that Reemtsma were able t o 

increase sales by 4.7 per cent to 29 .389 

billion cigarettes . The concern's marke t 

share in the west rose again by 0.2 1 

percentage points to 23 .73 per cent .

a higher level of salts totalling 2590 3 

billion cigarettes . Nevertheless. as a result 

of the increased growth of the market 

as a whole, their share of the market 

fell slightly by 0.55 percenta ge points t o 

20 .56 per cent . 

Weaknesses of the company's fla g - 

ship Lord Extra were responsible i n 

particular for the fact that on the west - 

ern German market in 1991 Marti n 

Brinkmann AG sustained a drop i n 

sales of l percent to 11 .252 billion cigarettes 

. Their share of the market fell by 

0 .43 percentage points to 92 per cent . 

R. J. Reynolds Tobacco Gmb H 

slightly increased their deliveries i n 

western Germany by I per cent t o 

I0.00S billion cigarettes. However, 

their share of the market fell by 0.1 7 

percenta g e points to 5 .10 per cent . 

Smaller manufacturers and the sup - 

pliers of private label ci g arettes 

together achieved sales of - .351 billio n 

pieces . 7 .1 per cent fewer than in th e 

previous year. The cheaper private 

label cigarettes alone sustained a drop 

in sales of 550 million pieces to 5 .95 4 

billion (a decrease of 8 .5 per cent) . As a 

result, in 1991 their share of the market 

was 4 .73 per cent (a drop of 0 .63 percentage 

points), distinctly below the 5 

per cent mark . One of the reasons fo r 

this could be the breakneck growth i n 

sales of the comparatively new sector of 

smoking tobacco represented by the socalled 

tobacco rolls which found favour 

in particular with price-consciou s 

consumers . 

If one studies the whole of the German 

market, the rapid progress of 

Philip Morris GmhH is seen to be eve n 

more dramatic . As a result of the precipitous 

increase in sales . particularly 

of the f6 brand, the company reached a 

share of 34 .6 of the entire market . 

Reemtsma, with a market share of 23 .4 

per cent in the new states, did not quit e 

attain the level of its share of the west 

German market. B .A .T.'s share in th e 

eastern states was 19 .3 per cent . Brinkmann, 

thanks to its east German brand i 

Golden American, secured a share of Allred N. Hertz Flavors Gmb H 

9.7 per cent, Reynolds 7 .S per cent an d 

other manufacturers to gether with private 

label cigarettes gained a share o f 

4.5 per cent . 

During 1991, on the whole, only 14 i 

new brands were introduced on th e 

German market . Four of these brands 

emanated from the big suppliers of pro - 

prietary brands of cigarettes, five were 

private label brands and live came from 

smaller suppliers of proprietary 

brands. ■

Prospects for the Spanis h 

Tobacco Econom y 

by Dr Walter Frielingsdorf 

Analysts ofvarious institutions expect the number of smokers in Spai n 

to rise by the middle of the 1990s . It is considered that . as a result, there 

will also be an increase in cigarette consumption. even if only slight . 

Due to tax and price rises anticipated . turnover of tobacco products tti-ii l 

probably increase by a disproportionally lar g e extent . Prospects for th e 

national tobacco concern Tabacalera are considered favourable but a 

sli g ht drop in cigarette consumption in the second half of the decade i s 

expected . 

I n 

1992 sales of ci garettes in Spai n 

rose by 3 .1 per cent to 4223 millio n 

packets compared with 1990 . Ligh t 

cigarettes increased by 8.7 per cent t o 

2503 packs, whilst dark cigarettes fel l 

by 4 .2 per cent to 1 720 million packs . 

On the other hand, cigars in 1991 re - 

corded a drop of 0 .5 per cent to 725 . 5 

million pieces . 

In 1980 sales of cigarettes stood a t 

3500 million packs and by 1991 they 

had reached 4223 million, this in spit e 

of the anti-tobacco campai g n whic h 

had started in the meantime . It is als o 

worthy of note that the considerabl e 

rise in the sale of light cigarettes. 

together%ith the further decline in dar k 

brands, was a contributory factor to th e 

increase in cigarette consumption i n 

terms of value . 

According to data published by th e 

National Statistical Institute of Spain , 

the number of Spanish smokers over 1 5 

during the period from 1980 to 199 0 

increased from 1 1 170000 to 11678 01)0 . 

As there was a slight drop in the numbe r 

of male smokers, this indicates that 

there has been a considerable overal l 

rise in the number of female smokers . 

:whereas in 1978 the proportion of female 

smokers was about 21 percent, fo r 

1990 it has been put at 31 per cent . 

In the February 1992 issue of " Actualidad 

Tabaquera", the journal of th e 

Spanish tobacco industry, an articl e 

was published entitled "El negocio de l 

tabaco crecera hasta 1995" (The tobacco 

business will grow until 1995) . 

This article dealt with the prospects for 

the Spanish tobacco economy, it base d 

its findin g s on data published by Tabacalera 

S .A ., the National Statistical Institute 

and in particular on a study con - 

ducted by the company "Asesore s 

Bursatiles" (Stock Exchange Consultants). 

It assumed that in Spain the numbe r 

of smokers would gross to 12 009 000 b y 

1996. Accordin g to estimates b y 

Asesores Bursatiles . in the first half of 

the present decade Tabacalera's turnover 

would increase in quantity by 0. 2 

per cent (note : this is an unlikely low 

level of growth over a period of fir e 

years, particularly in view of the fact 

that in 1991 alone the increase had bee n 

3 .1 per cent) . The article also stated tha t 

prices (net of tax) would rise by 2 .6 per 

cent and that there would be an averag e 

price rise of 2 .2 per cent as a result of 

dark cigarettes being superseded by 

li ght which were two or three time s 

dearer . 

The experts also estimated that between 

1991 and 1996 tobacco goods turnover 

would increase by an average of 5 

per cent. They base their calculation s 

on the further rise in the number o f 

female smokers, the stricter control fo r 

tobacco smuggling and the fact tha t 

prices had increased to a greater exten t 

than taxes, thus compensating for th e 

adverse effects of the anti-smokin g 

campaigns . tax increases and the restrictions 

on advertising . 

Nevertheless. re g ardin g the secon d 

half of the decade, "Asesores 

Bursatiles-' expect a decline in tobacco ►

Prospects for . . . 

consumption of 0 .8 per cent a year, basing 

their calculations on a prospectiv e 

drop in the number of potential smokers 

from 12 008 000 to 11519000 . 

Asesores Bursatiles" do not foresee an y 

dangers for the future of Tabacaler a 

which might ensue as a result of price 

increase due to the adjustment of taxe s 

to the European single market, a re - 

structuring of the tobacco monopol y 

and/or agreements and productio n 

licences with multi-national concerns . 

Experts who are members of"Inverban" 

securities and stock exchang e 

concern (Sociedad de Valores y Bolsa ) 

predict favourable prospects for Tabacalera 

. However, they believe that thi s 

monopoly institution will record a 

lower growth rate in turnover durin g 

the coming years as far as tobacco pro - 

ducts are concerned . One reason for 

this is seen by them in the planned advertising 

ban by the EC . On the othe r 

hand, Tabacalera's revenue is expected 

to increase as a result of the rise i n 

special taxes . 

The economic and financial journal 

"Cinco Dias" commented that Tabacalera 

was one of those market performers 

who surprised Spaniards an d 

foreigners by its upward movements .

Issue of EC Packaging 

Waste Directive Imminent 

by Dr Eric Johnson 

The third draft ache EC Packaging Waste Directive was completed i n 

March 1992 . It is the final version submitted by the Commission to th e 

European Parliament and the Council of Ministers . These groups wil l 

evaluate the Directive and make their own comments . The fina l 

Directive is expected to be issued in June or July 1992 wit h 

implementation set for mid-1997 and mid-2002 . 

The year 1991 will go down in history 

as the year in which attitudes 

to used packaging in th e 

EC changed premanently. No longer 

can a company involved in the production 

or use of packaging think In term s 

of the customer buying a product an d 

throwing the packagin g away. Th e 

agenda is clearly set that used packaging 

must be re-used and that the prim e 

responsibility for the re-use lies with 

the supplier of the goods. 

Governmental and consumer pressures 

against the perception of growin g 

mountains of used packaging increased 

in Northern Europe towards the end o f 

the 1980s . In Germany . Dr Klau s 

Tbpfer, the Minister of the Environment, 

was able to capitalise on thes e 

pressures by introducing a new regulation 

covering the disposal of used pack - 

aging . The regulation basically require s 

that all used packaging should be re - 

turned to source. 

The first category defined by th e 

regulation is the packaging used for 

transport of goods from supplier to customer 

. This part of the law, which cam e 

into force on I December 1991, applies 

essentially to industrial packaging . Th e 

supplier of the goods is obliged to receive 

back the packaging. or to mak e 

some other acceptable arrangement for 

its re-use . 

Taking Mobil Plastics as an example, 

in the case of' the packa ging used t o 

supply films, many customers re-us e 

elements of the packaging themselves, 

or pool systems such as Europallets ar e 

employed . Otherwise, for those customers 

specifically requesting it, Mobil 

takes back specific re-usable element s 

of their packaging, such as end plates 

and top boards . The generic materials 

used, such as stretch film and carto n 

board, enter the group collectio n 

schemes provided by the industrie s 

producing the materials . 

Mobil has been instrumental in th e 

creation of an independent company t o 

organise the recovery of stretch film i n 

Germany. The F.A .F was founded i n 

October 1991 by 24 companies involve d 

in the stretch film industry and covers 

98 per cent of the film removed from 

pallets in Germany . This company wil l 

organise the recycling of stretch fil m 

separated from German waste recuperation 

. 

The second category of the Germa n 

regulation is overwrapping for presentation, 

security or collation . This category 

covers supplementary wrap - 

pings not normally in direct contact 

with the product . The regulation re - 

quires this type of packaging to b e 

removed at the point of sale, unless th e 

customer opts to take it home . In fact, 

the majority of packaging in this category 

will probably be taken home an d 

will then be treated as sale packaging . 

This section of the regulation came into 

force on 1 April 1992 . 

The final and probably most significant 

category of the regulation is th e 

packaging of the product itself. The 

basic demand is that the empty packs 

should be returned to source after use . 

coming into effect progressively from I 

January 1993 . Collection is carried out 

by the Dual System, a privately organised 

collection and separation sett- ►

Five hundred years ago, Christopher Columbus 

went looking for the world's finest spices . 

What he discovered, instead; was America–the 

land of the world's finest tobaccos . 

Since the frontier of the New World were opened, 

people in many- lands have discovered the supero r 

~T~ 

taste. flavor and arorna of American fluettaed 

tobacco. In fact, this uniquely satisfying tobacco is a 

pr:me ingredient of best-selling cigarettes in countries 

everywhere .

vice from homes and containers fo r 

used household packaging . It is organised 

by an idependent compan y 

called Duales System Deutschlan d 

(DSD) and is financed by a system o f 

Green Points on consumer goods ' 

packaging (see TJI 4/91). DSD is responsible 

for the organisation and implementation 

of collection and separation 

but not recycling . This is the responsiblility 

of the packaging producers. 

The administration of the whol e 

Green Points scheme is complicated . 

bureaucratic and very expensive . 

As with most pioneering systems , 

there are many areas where the Germa n 

scheme is less than perfect . The very 

high costs are causing much debate i n 

Germany with the different sectors 

squabblin g user the allocation of cost s 

and funds . The non-allowance of energy 

recovery is a serious defect of the 

regulation whch is already leading t o 

the generation of large quantities ofmixed, 

contaminated low-grade scrap . 

Since stringent time and quantity limits 

are established,there is little flexibilit y 

in the system to allow it to operate mor e 

smoothly . In addition, there is no obligation 

on the consumer to participate . 

It is clearly very difficult for industry 

and commerce to meet tar g ets for materials 

which they do not possess and 

for which the processor has no obligation 

. 

Overall, however, the German regulation 

is a major step forward. I n 

refined form, it has already become th e 

model for other countries and for th e 

European Commission. Whilst ther e 

can be little doubt that a period of pilo t 

studies followed by reconsideration be - 

fore expansion would have been very 

useful, this does not appear to be th e 

thinking in Germany, which is intent o n 

blazing a trail in this area. 

Conscious of the developments i n 

Germany, early in 1991 the French 

Minister of the Environment, Brice Lalonde, 

asked a committee from industr y 

and from French local government t o 

propose a scheme for the recuperatio n 

of used packaging for France . Th e 

French plan, unveiled in July 1992, i s 

similar to the German scheme in broa d 

principle . but with a number of import - 

ant differences . The prime concept o f 

"re-valorization" is put forward , 

meaning the re-use of resources i n 

packaging by the best possible means - 

both economically and environmen -

tally. France then foresees ener g y recovery 

as having a major role to play i n 

the recovery of used packagin g , especially 

plastics and papers . The othe r 

main differences are : the points will b e 

blue, all waste handling (including separation) 

will remain a public authorit y 

responsiblity, clean incineration wil l 

provide the basic cost to be borne by 

public authorities, revalorisation of 

per cent by the year 2000 . 

The French plan is currently passin g 

through the legislative process and wil l 

become law in 1992 . Overall, it is very 

much more realistic than the rigid German 

regulation and is being supporte d 

by industry and several of the EC mem - 

ber state governments as a more suit - 

able model for Europe. 

The Dutch government and Dutc h 

industry and commerce have signed a 

covenant or voluntary agreemen t 

whereby all packaging waste will he 

eliminated from landfilting or incineration 

without energy recvovery by th e 

year 2000 . 

It is planned to achieve 60 per cen t 

material recycling of used packagin g 

and 40 per cent energy recover. 

together with a reduction in overal l 

usage of packaging by IO per cent . Pilo( 

schemes have been initiated in Bread a 

and Lemsterland to run for two years . 

These schemes will generate the basi c 

data on which a realistic plan can b e 

developed for the rest of the country . 

An orange point is now being discussed 

. 

Because of the perceived need to ac t 

and because of the disharmonisatio n 

created by individual country laws, th e 

European Commission (DG XI ) 

worked during most of 1991 on a draf t 

Directive to deal with packa g ing waste . 

Again, the principle of the Directive i s 

the recovery of used packaging . Th e 

third and probably final draft Directs'- - 

was issued in March 1992 . It foresees s 9 

per cent material recycling within 6i?

Member States requested to submit 

plans to meet criteria of harmonisatio n 

— primary, secondary and tertiary i n 

an industrial, commercial, and domestic 

context . A maximum of 30 per cen t 

energy recovery is allowed within these 

limits . A standstill on used packagin g 

waste produced is required and Member 

States are requested to submit plan s 

to meet the criteria of harmonisation . 

The future is clearly delineated, th e 

progressive recovery and re-use of used 

packaging across the whole of Europe . 

In Germany the first steps along th e 

learning curve have already been taken . 

For the moment there is probably 

undue focus on material recycling . Experience 

and the correct eco-balanc e 

analyses will lead eventually to the 

right combination of refilling, recyclin 

g . composting and energy recovery . 

Moses to eliminate extra layers o f 

packaging are expected where they are 

unnecessary as are moves to more easily 

recycled structures . Waste minimisation 

will feature at all levels . 

In all of this activity one should no t 

lase sight of the reasons for packaging 

— protection and presentation, no r 

should one follow blindly the dictate s 

of fashion . Today material recycling is 

still considered almost a white hope fo r 

the future, but there are many circumstances 

where it is neither economicall y 

nor errironmentally favourable. f

A Tobacco Republic i n 

Latin America 

by Dr Alphonse Max 

Since the beginning of 1992 the number of Latin American republic s 

has increased from 36 to 37 . The new hypothetical republic is called th e 

"Republica del Tabaco" (Tobacco Republic) . It was inaugurated in th e 

Argentinian tourist centre of San Carlos de Bariloche at the foot of th e 

Southern Andes during a conference in November 1991 of 

representatives of the entire Latin American tobacco industry . 

T he 

establishment of the Tobacc o 

Republic, whose capital is Sa n 

Carlos de Bariloche, and whic h 

has its own flag with a tobacco leaf a s 

emblem, was of course not an act under 

constitutional law, as in the case of th e 

voluntary dissolution of the Sovie t 

Union . It is a publicity gimmick whic h 

is intended in a very clever and effectiv e 

manner to draw public attention to the 

serious problems of this Latin American 

branch of industry . 

Latin America is more of a geographically 

cultural concept than a political 

reality with which the world public 

is engrossed to a particularly intensive 

degree in this year which marks th e 

500th anniversary of the discovery o f 

this region by Columbus . 

Uncertain Independenc e 

For Many 

These days the Organisation of American 

States (OAS) is the official representative 

body of Latin America . Th e 

core of this area consists of the ten 

traditional countries of South Americ a 

which liberated themselves from th e 

Spanish and Portuguese motherland s 

at the beginning of the last century . 

Then there are the 25 smaller states , 

most of which are situated on islands i n 

the Caribbean . The majority were no t 

decolonised until after the Secon d 

World \Var, achieving a kind of independence 

which even today, for th e 

most part, remains questionable. Othe r 

countries belonging to OAS are Mexico 

in the north of tie American continent 

as well as the United States and, recently, 

also Canada . 

The Pan American Union wa s 

founded in 1910 and in 1943 it becam e 

the secretariat of the OAS . The practical 

insignificance of this organisatio n 

must be attributed to its top-heavines s 

owing to the membership of the Unite d 

States as the leading power with its political 

and economic strength. None o f 

the other member states had any wish t o 

become unpopular with its citizens by 

being labelled a "lackey of Yankee imperialism", 

according to the catch - 

phrase which was current during th e 

period of the Cold War. It was prefer - 

able to draw attention to the practica l 

inability of the OAS to take any action 

in the political and economic sphere . 

Only in this way is it possible to find a n 

explanation for the communist despotic 

repression in Cuba over the pas t 

30 years, which is still in existence an d 

has thus outlived its Russian founders . 

A Common Market 

Of the South 

The obvious inability of the OAS t o 

take any action led to the emergence o f 

various other regional organisations i n 

Latin America . A start was made, with 

panty considerable success, by th e 

countries of Central America . Plans ar e 

now afoot to create the so-called bod y 

known as MERCOSUR (the Commo n 

market of the south, comprising Argentina 

. Brazil, Paraguay and Uruguay) . 

And now there is also a Tobacco Republic.

Tobacco a Great 

Employe r 

The forty economic and publicity experts 

of the Latin American tobacco 

industry had got together in Argentina's 

delightful alpine resort in orde r 

to prepare some amazing statistics fo r 

their imaginary Tobacco Republic . 

The population of their test-tube re - 

public totals 8 .1 million people . Ther e 

is no unemployment as these 8 .1 million 

are those Latin Americans who , 

directly or indirectly, earn their livin g 

from the tobacco industry in their region 

. 

The area in which they live and cultivate 

their crops is only 4730 square 

kilometres. They raise a gross nationa l 

product of 12 389 million dollars, whic h 

is more than that of Uruguay and Paraguay 

together. They pay annual taxe s 

amounting to 6773 million dollars and 

export goods with a value of 970 mil - 

lion dollars per annum, which is more 

than that for the whole of Paraguay . 

This tax yield of the Tobacco Republi c 

exceeds all the loans granted by th e 

World Bank and amounts to almos t 

four times the loans of the International 

Development Bank . It is also five times 

more than the entire 1991 budget of th e 

World Health Organisation, which 

gives the tobacco industry so much 

cause for concern . It is therefore no t 

surprising that the WHO was the subject 

of attack at the Bariloche conference.

The focus of attention at the conference 

was the address given by the 

president of the Argentine Chamber o f 

the Tobacco Industry (CIT), Dr Jorge 

Vives, who is also the head of one of the 

leading companies of the Argentine tobacco 

industry, Massalin Particulare s 

S .A . He devoted his basic remarks t o 

the economic and social importance of 

the tobacco sector in Latin Americ a 

based on figures from 1990 :91 . Thi s 

utilises only 0 .32 per cent of the cultiv - 

able area in the region (474000 hectares) 

. Nevertheless, it contributes 5 . 3 

per cent of the total state revenue and 

10 per cent of the trade surpluses . Dr 

Vises concluded his address by pointing 

out that the conference had taken 

place within the framework of a hypothetical 

state, in other words a youn g 

Tobacco Republic . in order to draw attention 

to the size and economic importance 

of the culticc anon and process - 

ing of tobacco for Lena America .

A New Era for Brazilian 

Cigarette Manufacturers 

br Rut• Crescent i 

After twenty-seven years of strict government control, ci garette price s 

were liberated recently by Brazil's Ministry of Economics. Prices ha d 

been kept artificially low in Brazil, almost making tobacco manufactur e 

an unprofitable business . Prior to this measure being implemented . 

retail prices had already been increased to a more acceptable level . Thi s 

latest move, however, means a return to profitable activity . 

T he 

liberation of cigarette prices , 

an old goal of the Brazilian 

manufacturers, was granted i n 

March 1992 by the Brazilian government 

. For the last 27 years prices ha d 

remained under control because of the 

important contribution of ci g arette taxation 

to the Brazilian tax budget. I n 

fact, cigarettes made up 18 .1 per cent of 

the total amount of Brazil's Industrialized 

Products Tax (I P1) collected in 

1991 . For a matter of comparison , 

beverages and cars contributed a join t 

17.7 per cent. 

B-azilian cigarette producers ar e 

now free to fix the prices of their pro - 

ducts . Their only obligations now are t o 

adsise government officials of any 

price increases three days before implementation 

and to maintain a moderate 

profit- raising policy . Manufacturers 

must now send retailers pric e 

lists with maximum prices that must not 

be exceeded . However, the retailer is 

allowed to lower prices if he wants to . 

The profit margin for retailers remain s 

at 11 .26 per cent . 

During the first three months of 199 2 

cigarette prices, still under governmen t 

control, rose by 52 .4 per cent, while i n 

1991 this rate had been 1019 .9 per cen t 

with an inflation rate of 453 .4 per cent . 

"Cigarettes must have realistic pace s 

and not artificial ones, and that's wha t 

matters'', says Antonio Monteiro d e 

Castro Filho, President of Companhi a 

Souza Cruz . The company leads th e 

Brazilian market with ar. 82 per cen t 

share . He believes prices may keep o n 

rising ahead of Brazilian inflation rates. 

which is likely to cause a reduction in 

sales in the short term . Castro Filh o 

declared, however, that his compan y 

did not intend to raise prices sharply i n 

the first months after liberalization . 

Liberalization reaches the marke t 

leader, Souza Cruz, in a good business 

mood. Its holding company, Companhia 

Souza Cruz s.a ., expects very positive 

results in 1991 . Total invoices for 

1991 amounted to USS3 5 billion, wit h 

net profits of CSS 5=.8 million . This result 

means a virtual '. ictory for the company 

if compared with the USS 300000 

losses registered ire the first half of 1991 . 

Souza Cruz . a BAT affiliate, is not 

only the owner of the biggest cigarett e 

manufacturing plants in Brazil, but als o 

controls one of' the biggest fruit juic e 

factories of the country, Nlaguarv . an d 

a paper and pulp branch . Papei s 

ahy . Furthermore . it holds a 33 per cen t 

share of Aracruz Celulose and Plurimarca, 

which administrates the franchising 

of Souza Cruz cigarette brand s 

for use in other products . It also holds a 

share of Polo Petrochemical, which 

produces polyprop.:lcnc films for cigarette 

packaging . 

This diversification, however, does 

not mean that the company may b e 

changing towards other industrial an d 

commercial sectors . From now on . say s 

President Castro Filho, Souza Cruz wil l 

concentrate efforts on its main business 

. responsible for 75 per cent of th e 

group 's total turnover . the cigarette . 

The USS 100 million investment recently 

promised b'. B \T is larg ely justified 

by Souza Cruz's 27 per cent shar e 

of all BAT world-vs ide cigarette sales i n 

1991 . ■

Charging Attitudes on a 

Changing Market 

TJf Report 

Much has changed in the Turkish tobacco industry since the abolition 

of the monopoly in May 1991 . Both Tekel and Best .A .S., the mai n 

domestic producers, are now aiming at a bigger market share and are 

struggling against the growing competition ofimported cigarettes tha t 

have already gained the preference of one fifth of Turkish smokers . 

Nevertheless, tobacco manufacturing and marketing are still majo r 

generators of jobs in Turkey . 

A lthough 

the image of the Turkish 

tobacco consumer i$ that o f 

a strong smoker, plain cigaret- 

tes have been loosing large slices of th e 

country's hotly contested cigarette market 

recently . Production of plain cigarettes 

has dropped by 59 per cent sinc e 

1934 and consumption has falle n 

sharply from 7793 tonnes in 1954 t o 

3946 tonnes in 1990 . Tekel is the sol e 

producer of unfiltered cigarettes i n 

Turkey . 

Demand for filtered cigarettes is en - 

peered to make up 9 7 per cent of total 

ci g arettes sales in Turkey by 1994. Consumption 

has been climbing again after 

a fall in 1986, but the market share o f 

Turkish-made filter cigarettes has bee n 

decreasing every year since 1984 due t o 

grossing competition from foreig n 

breeds . These held a 20 percent marke t 

share in 1990, after holding a 2 _ per cen t 

share in 1984 . In 1990 . sales revenu e

Tobacco Crisis 

Russia is facing a crisis in the tobacc o 

industry because of the lack of raw materials. 

The supplies at the 24 tobacc o 

manufacturing plants will only last fo r 

another few weeks . 

The factories manufacture betwee n 

150 and 160 thousand million cigarette s 

annually : demand is twice present sup - 

ply. To work normally the plants re - 

quire a total of 250000 tonnes of tobacco 

but only 160000 tonnes are i n 

stock. The lack of foreign currenc y 

means Russia can only buy a furthe r 

35000 tonnes — 25000 from India an d 

10000 from Bulgaria. In addition, 

spares for foreign machinery that is 3 0 

or 40 years old are required. (DTZ)

TOBACCO INDUSTRY PROFIL E 

The tobacco trade and industry in China Is controlled by a 

state monopoly run by the China Natior .a. Tobacco Corpor - 

ation . China is the worlds leading prod-sr and consume r 

of leaf tobacco, with flue-cured prod_ :'. :an reaching 2 . 3 

million tonnes in 1991, an increase in production agains t 

1990 of 19 per cent . More than SO per der : of the leaf grow n 

is flue-cured Virginia. with most of the rest fairly evenl y 

divided between dark air- and sun•cLred and light air - 

cured : There is a small production of B .tr'cy and a type o f 

oriental . Flue-cured . unknown in Chin : in the early 1900 s 

is produced mainly in the South and E_st of the country. 

major producin g areas are Henan . Shandong . Anhui . Yunnan 

. Guizhon and Hunan . Lig ht sun-cored leaf is grots n 

over much of the country . particularly in Guangdong . Sichuan 

. Zhejiang and other central and c:r:h-eastern pray . 

inces . L• irk air-cured leaf is large and gnat n mainly in the 

Hubei . Jiangxi and Sichuan provinces. Dark sun-cured tobacco 

is used in China for cigars and pipe tobacco mixtures. 

Burley hid fairly recent development in China . Some quart 

. Henan and Sicl-._an provinces. Am - -crown 

in Hubei 

Malin ` g oal is grown in moderate quay : .t :es in Hubei an d 

Zhe1 al it Most of the leaf produced in Me country is used 

domestically, and makes China largely self-sufficient as fa r 

as leaf is concerned. The country's leaf exports increased to 

69.`;16 manes in 1991 from 33931 tonne ; in 1990. 

China is also the world's largest cigar- :'r : producer wit h 

1 .5535 trillion pieces manufactured in :)91 . The government 

has placed strict controls on ci :_•ate manufacture . 

Many factories have been closed down and productio n 

stopped of 200 low-guali ;r cigarette hr_rd ; . 146 manufao.

for health -eaeons . A major constraint on more filte r 

cigarette production is the shortage of fid'er material . This 

led to the establishing of a joint-venture tsit'r. a L S compan y 

to blild a plant for the domestic production of acetate toss . 

Cigarette smuggling is a major concern for manufacturers 

and the government : the black market trade is re -

On 29 June 1991 a new late on the Chinese Toh .icco 

Monopoly was ad:pted by the Session of the Standing Cumittee 

of the 7th National People ; Congress . It pros ides fo r 

the coordinated development of all sector of the Chines e 

tobacco industry with a highly centnilit,ed organi ;.itional 

structure. Le pisla :ion banning smoking in public places an d

TOBACCO INDUSTRY PROFIL E 

France grows significant quantities of dark air-cured . Bur. 

leg and Virginia tobaccos . The main production areas ar e 

Aquitaine/Dordogne (Bergerac. Sarlat . Lot-et-Garonne , 

Landes). Alsace (Bas-Rhin : Ebertheim . Obernai, Hochfelden). 

Midi-Pyrenees (Lot, Aveyron . Tarn . Gera), Rhene- 

Alpes (Isere, DrOn:e). Less significant growing regions are 

Poitou in the Loire Valley and the Depanernentdu Nord . I n 

1991 a total of 10560 hectares were under tobacco cultivation, 

producing 28769 tonnes of leaf . Of this total . 1855 2 

tonnes were dark tobaccos. 5523 :onnes were Virginia and 

4089 were Burley. 

An approximate 10000 farmers grow tobacco in France : 

they are all organised in one of 11 regional cooperative s 

belonging to the French Union of Tobacco Co-operatives . 

The Union co-ordinates sales of all tobaccos produced i n 

France . The Union is very unhappy about the general re . 

duction in leaf quotas within the EC . 

French leaf is either sold through a co-operative after a 

first drying by the farmer or throu g h the Union after manipulation 

at the green leaf processing plan ; of the Union a t 

Sarlat . 

A tobacco research institute is based in Bergerac . 

Approximately 60 per cent of all leaf produced is used b y 

Seita, the sole manufacturer of tobacco products in th e 

country . The remainin g 40 per cent are exported . 

Leaf production totalled 28 290 tonnes in 1990 . Exports 

were down 7 per cent from 1959 to 10773 tonnes. Th e 

leading leaf export markets were Germany . Belgium/Luxembourg 

and the l .S. A further slight decline in export s 

occurred in 1991 to 10 500. Leaf imports rose by 6 per cent 

from 1989 to ;990 to 31845 tonnes. Much of the rise i s 

attributed to larger purchases of flue-cured tobacco as consumers 

turn from dark cigarettes to American-blend 

brands. The 1991 import figures is approximately 3000 0 

tonnes . 

The only manufacturer of tobacco products in France . 

Seita . produces approximately 56000 million cigarettes annually 

. American-blend products account for about 15000 

million pieces . Growing consumption of American-blen d 

products . which new hase an approximate 64 per cent o f 

the market . is expected to increase substantially in the nex t 

few years, offsetting. a decline in the output of dark cigaret - 

tes .

been noted in the proportion of regular female smokers an d 

an equivaien : decrease in the proportion of male smokers. 

Per capita eensumptior stands at 1695 pieces annual : : 

From the sears 1975 to 1988 consumption droppeu b y 

almost 41) percent . maini ;, because of a decline in the con - 

sumption of dark cigarettes. Over the last three years. 

American-blend brands have been grousing in popularity 

and nosy account for 64 per sent of the market . 

'Consumers are not onlu smoking more American-blen d 

cigarettes . hut they are also turning to lighter . filter-tipped . 

blonde brands. Howeter . a domestic dark tobacco cigarett e 

brand still leads the market . 

Sales of pipe tobaccos in France totalled 4933 tonnes i n 

1990 . representing 5 per cent of overall consumption o f 

manufactured tobacco . A :etal of 69 brands are on offer . I n 

the same ;car fine-cut sales stood at 2290 tonnes . The tren d 

in favour of mild smoking products is also increasing in thi s 

sector and are especially p opular with younger smokers . 

After introducing a total ban on advertising . the Frenc h 

Health Minister. Claude Evin . pushed a law throu g h parliament 

against the abuse of tobacco in 1991 . but promul ration 

.s ill take time as loud protests are being voiced from al l 

sides . The law foresees a ban on smoking on all forms o f 

public transport. including domestic flights of Air France. 

in all public buildings and at all public events . Restaurant s 

will

be obliged to provide smoking and non-smoking sea : -

IN THE PIPELIN E 

Good Prospect s 

Domestic production supplies th e 

Mexican cigarette market . The industry 

is largely Mexican owned and produce s 

a plethora of local brands . International 

cigarettes are manufacture d 

under licensing a g reements which restrict 

sales to Mexico . The total market 

is estimated to stand at 50 billion cigarettes 

annually, a figure which has remained 

stable over the last eight years . 

Lack of growth is attributed to the diffi - 

cult economic situation of the 1980s . 

However, demand is now picking up. 

4/9 2 

_Changing Attitudes 

Much has changed in the Turkish tobacco 

industry since the abolition o f 

the Monopoly in May 1991 . Both Teke l 

and Best AS ., the main domestic pro - 

ducers, are now aiming at a bigger market 

share and are stru gg ling against th e 

growing competition from imported cigarettes, 

which hase already gained th e 

preference of one fifth of Turkish smokers, 

Nevertheless . tobacco manufacturing 

and marketing are still majo r 

generators of jobs in Turkey . 4/9 2 

Polish Marke t 

Turnover from cigarette sales is stagnating 

or even falling in Poland . Tw o 

reasons are given for the situation : mos t 

consumers do not hase much left o'e r 

once they have bought basic commodities 

and increasing numbers o f 

smuggled cigarettes are penetrating th e 

market . New, attractively-packed cigarettes 

are coming onto the Polish market 

constantly, but it is impossible t o 

say where they came from as the pack s 

have no indication of origin . 4/92
