Company Confidential

Meet the company behind the cigar that needs no introduction. We may be best known for one of the world’s best-selling cigars — Swisher Sweets — but our portfolio includes a variety of cigars, cigarillos and smokeless tobacco products for discerning adult consumers. Since 1861, Swisher has manufactured quality tobacco products. Today, we ship more than 2 billion cigars per year to over 70 countries. Included in that number are our popular Swisher Sweets Original and Diamonds. These two superstars are the #1 and #2 best-selling large cigars in the U.S., they account for more volume than the next five competitive large cigar items combined.

But to keep things fresh and remaining an industry leader after all these years requires constant innovation — whether it’s adding to our portfolio, introducing blends, or improving our operations through automation, acquisition and expansion. We are proud that our efforts have been recognized by Convenience Store News with their Category Captain Award for six consecutive years.

At the end of the day, we attribute our success to never losing sight of the commitment that gave us our start. At Swisher, we’re proud of our people and the contributions we’ve made to our industry and our community.
