GCC also sells its cigars in its shop and through the Internet. In contrast, Swedish Match manufactured and sold a line of mass-market cigarillo sold in packs of two. The cigarillos were sold under the iconic WHITE OWL house mark, using the word “duos” to describe the two cigarillos that came in the pack. “Weighing the evidence and each of these factors in totality, the Court concludes that consumers would not have been likely to be confused into thinking that the Swedish Match WHITE OWL products with the descriptor “duos” came from GCC,” Judge Goodman wrote. The case is Guantanamera Cigars Co. vs SMCI Holding Inc. et al, No. 21-cv-21714 Goodman in the U.S. District Court Southern District of Florida Miami Division.
