    Marketing of HB in embargoed Rhodesia

    The supplied historical account states that BAT bypassed the international trade embargo on Rhodesia during the 1970s and marketed HB there. After independence and the country's renaming as Zimbabwe, HB remained strongly established in the local market. The episode is controversial because it concerns commercial activity in a sanctions-affected territory.
