    Citi’s European tobacco squad under the direction ofAdam Spielmanrebounded to the top of this lineup last year but now tumbles back to third place. The 48-year-old crew chief, who directs coverage from his base in London, is hailed by one investor for his “in-depth sector know-how.” His team is negative on Swedish Match, a manufacturer of snus smokeless tobacco and mass-market cigars. Sweden is raising taxes on snus products, which the analysts believe will encourage consumers to switch to less expensive brands, challenging Swedish Match’s share of its core market.
