Famous Smoke Shop is one of the largest cigar mail order businesses in the United States.[1][2][3] The company was formed in October, 1939 in Midtown Manhattan as a cigar and gift shop. In 2000, increasing rents and taxes[4] forced the company to move its operations to Easton, Pennsylvania,[5] a state that currently imposes no cigar tax.[6] Famous Smoke Shop is engaged primarily in the retail and wholesale of cigars, humidors, and cigar accessories through mail order catalogs, a brick and mortar retail shop, and several websites.[7]
