 PROFILE
800-JR Cigar would like to give that man (or woman) a cigar. The company is a leading distributor and retailer of premium cigars. Its retail operations include six specialty cigar stores, three discount outlet stores (all in North Carolina), and a direct-mail catalog. (The stores also sell fragrances, apparel, jewelry, and other specialty items.) In addition, 800-JR Cigar distributes a wholesale mail-order catalog to more than 8,000 smoke shops, liquor stores, taverns, and other retailers; it also operates cash-and-carry wholesale operations through its outlet stores. A group led by CEO Lewis Rothman (a member of the founding family) took the company private in October 2000.
