I'm sure it is just the usual -- labor costs, etc. I find it interesting
that in any given year, Rico raises the prices on SOME, but not ALL, of
it's various brands. For example, this January Rico and Rico Royal went
up, but Lavoz and Mitchell Lurie were unchanged. As I recall, THEY went up
LAST year. Probably easier from an inventory standpoint not to have to
reprice EVERYTHING every year!
