What this record means
The record shows the application for ESMERALDA DOMINICANA FLOR EXTRA FINA HECHO A MANO was abandoned on December 21, 1998, after the applicant failed to respond to an Office action, and the mark never entered the register; the owner listed is Caribbean Rum Liqueurs, Inc., a corporation organized in the U.S. Virgin Islands. The only goods identified are “cigars” in International Class 034, so a similar name used for tobacco products would create the closest record‑based concern, while uses in unrelated categories such as beverages or cosmetics fall farther from the scope shown. The record does not give the owner control over every possible use of the wording, only over the specific cigar description. No supplemental‑register activity appears, and the latest meaningful event is the abandonment entry on the status date. The supplied history shows no oppositions, cancellations or other enforcement actions. I'd treat this as a moderate concern if you plan to market cigars under a comparable name.
