The info I am getting from various sources say that this was more of a prevented coup. Some of the spanish language sources say that the people are behind this effort and that the president tried to use the military to take over and they instead sided with the courts and congress and tossed him out on his ass.
As for the cigars political changes asside it only matters if the companies think they or their employees are in danger. You could change governments all day long on a cigar company as long as you leave them alone and give em cheap labor. They already know the type of countries they are in and are used to these things.
