Well, into the dry box they go.

Depends which "buyout" you're talking about Clay.
CAO hasn't been CAO since late 2006 or early 2007, or even earlier if you count the way they tied themselves to Torano. Since then, they've been passed from one parent company to another through accusations and mergers - this latest one with General Cigar & Swedish Match merging marks number three or four depending on how you chose to count them, although this latest one seems to have resulted in the biggest and most noticeable shakeup for the organization, sometimes causing the mistaken impression that the company was just recently sold.
