Javier Estades has returned to a role he knows well. Today Estades（the president and chief executive officer of cigar giant Tabacalera USA Inc.）was elected to a three-year term as chairman of the Cigar Association of America. He previously served as chairman from 2016 to 2020.

美國雪茄巨頭美國煙草公司的總裁兼首席執行官賈維爾·埃斯塔德斯又一次回到熟悉的崗位，他將擔任下一個三年期的美國雪茄協會主席的職位，之前曾經在2016到2020年度擔任過這個職位。

Estades moves into the position held for a short time by John J. Miller, who was the president and CEO of Swisher International Inc., the mass-market powerhouse that makes the inexpensive Swisher Sweets, a cigar brand sold in the billions of units. Swisher is also the parent company of Drew Estate, producer of handmade cigars such as Liga Privada and Herrera Esteli. Miller served less than one year as head of CAA; he retired from Swisher last week, putting the CAA in need of a new chairman.

賈維爾·埃斯塔德斯這次是接替約翰·J·米勒的職位，米勒以前是斯威舍國際公司的總裁兼首席執行官，斯威舍國際公司是一家每年銷售幾十億支低價雪茄的針對大眾市場的雪茄巨頭。斯威舍公司還是美國德魯莊園雪茄公司的母公司。德魯莊園雪茄旗下有私人聯盟、埃雷拉·埃斯特利等雪茄品牌。米勒在美國雪茄協會擔任主席不到一年，上周他從斯威舍公司退休，所以美國雪茄協會需要一位新主席。

“Javier Estades has always just been one of those people who gets it,” says Cigar Association of America president Craig Williamson. “When he stepped down as chairman, I said that we would miss his leadership, affable demeanor and steady hand, and now I am thrilled to welcome Javier back as our chairman once again.”?

美國雪茄協會的總裁克雷格·威廉姆森說，賈維爾·埃斯塔德斯一直以來都是最適合這個職位的候選人之一，當他卸任主席職位的時候，我曾經說我們會懷念他的領導能力、和藹可親的風度和穩健的作風，現在我可以很高興的歡迎賈維爾再次擔任我們協會的主席。

“It was an honor to serve as Chairman of CAA and I am excited to once again join my partners in industry to lead this [nearly] century-old association,” says Estades. “We continue to face a perfect storm of regulatory intervention, increasing tax burdens and evolving industry trends. We will have to join together to preserve our industry for future generations.”

賈維爾·埃斯塔德斯說，我很榮幸擔任美國雪茄協會的主席一職，我很高興能和我的行業伙伴們一起領導這個將近百年歷史的協會。我們繼續面臨監管干預、稅收負擔加重和行業發展趨勢演變的風暴。我們必須聯合起來，為子孫后代保護好我們的行業。

The Cigar Association of America is a national trade association representing cigar manufacturers, importers, and distributors, as well as other major suppliers to the industry. It was founded in 1937.

美國雪茄協會成立于1937年，是由雪茄制造商、進口商、分銷商和一些主要的行業供應商組成的全國性貿易商會組織。
