El colectivo de trabajadores de la empresa de tabaco torcido El Laguito, en La Habana, ratificó el compromiso de producir este año dos millones de la emblemática marca Cohiba, a pesar de las dificultades, expresó a la prensa Oscar Rodríguez Carballeira, director general de la entidad.
Precisamente este jueves, el centro fue visitado por unos 650 aficionados, profesionales del ámbito del habano y prensa nacional e internacional que asisten a las celebraciones del aniversario 55 de Cohiba.
Rodríguez Carballeira significó que, para cumplir esa meta, la fábrica cuenta con su principal capital: un colectivo de 252 trabajadores, más del 70 % mujeres, que no escatima ningún esfuerzo y que, incluso, no dejó de producir ni en los dos últimos años de la pandemia de la COVID-19.
Además, las hojas con las que se elabora este puro provienen de las mejores vegas de San Juan y Martínez y de San Luis, en la zona de Vueltabajo, Pinar del Río, consideradas las productoras del mejor tabaco del planeta.
Recordó que siempre tienen en mente el honor de que la fábrica El Laguito haya sido creada en 1966, a partir de la iniciativa conjunta del Comandante en Jefe Fidel Castro Ruz y de la heroína del Llano y de la Sierra, Celia Sánchez Manduley.
Puntualizó que de laboriosas y expertas manos salen diariamente 9 000 tabacos torcidos de Cohiba, proceso en el que la calidad es primordial y para lo cual disponen de un sistema de gestión certificado.
A lo largo de estas cinco décadas y media, Cohiba, el puro más exclusivo de la compañía tabacalera Habanos S.A., ha tenido un crecimiento y progresión que hace que hoy día sea la marca más reconocida a nivel mundial.

Online prostitute services via the internet; foreign and resident women trafficked, forced and coerced by the sex industry; regular customers; pimps; online child traffickers ; corrupt lifeguards, computer technicians, and waiters at Disney theme parks; other collateral merchants were part of an alarming police find in early 2022.
More than a hundred people, including several Disney employees, were arrested in an undercover human trafficking operation in central Florida, which is neither an isolated or rare event nor exclusive to the tourist American state.
Human trafficking is a growing concern in Florida, a territory that ranks third in the US for the impact of this scourge, with serious effects, since it often victimizes children, according to an article in the regional newspaper Orlando Sentinel, titled The Dark Side of the Sunshine State.
A report by the French television station France 24 revealed that, in 2019, in the United States some 400,000 people were daily victims of human trafficking, and five years ago that figure was 60,000, which shows an uncontrolled boom. He adds that this problem attacks the country stealthily, and few victims dare to speak out. Official reports indicate that child prostitution in the US is a concern, as it is estimated that 100,000 minors are forced into prostitution in that country each year.

Under the title Espionaje Internacional: Objetivo Cuba (international espionage: target Cuba), the publication announced it had access to thousands of classified documents, in which it is evident how Cuban diplomats and officials, leftist political leaders, journalists and social leaders were spied on.
In declarations to Prensa Latina news agency, Raya-s Editor-in-Chief Edison Bolaño explained that, via confidential sources, he was able to gain access to more than a thousand files which reflect a whole espionage apparatus against Cuba and its diplomatic corps based in Colombia.
According to the magazine, information was adulterated in the computer of a guerrilla chief to blame Cuba for the violent protest in Colombia at the end of 2019 and during 2020 and 2021.
The investigation points out that the espionage operation was named objective Charlie and developed, mainly, during the government of Iván Duque.
It also warns of documents in English under the name Secret/Rel to USA, Colombia that “come from U.S. intelligence agents.” This makes it clear that the U.S. agents were also interested in obtaining information from Cuban diplomats in Colombia. (International News Office)
