PROFILE |
 |
General Cigar Holdings gets help from a match maker to keep its business lit. The cigar maker is 64% owned by match and tobacco products producer Swedish Match; the founding Cullman family owns the remaining 36%. General Cigar makes Macanuda (#1 premium cigar in the US), Partagas, Cohiba, and other premium stogies that it markets to tobacco retailers nationwide. General Cigar also operates the Club Macanudo cigar bars in New York City and Chicago and grows wrapper tobacco in Connecticut. The company had sold its mass-market cigar business (White Owl, Tiparillo, among others) to Swedish Match. General Cigar has closed plants in Florida and Jamaica.
