Cigar Economy

Cigar manufacturers make a big impact in the communities where your cigars are produced and sold. The premium cigar industry employs about 20,000 Americans, and brings $2 billion in revenue every year. According to Eric Newman of 121-year-old Tampa based cigar company, “Cigars are to Tampa what wine is to Napa Valley and what automobiles are to Michigan”. Overseas, the premium cigar industry employs over 300,000 people.
