The house has been redone in the inside to accommodate the business. It includes a cedar-lined temperature and humidity controlled "humidor room" which can keep any product fresh indefinitely.

Market Outlook and Competition: Cigars are a strong international business, supported by many magazine publications such as Cigar Aficionado, Tobacconist, Tobacco Outlet Business, and Cigar Press. Huge international conventions are held periodically in elite domestic and foreign vacation spots like Las Vegas. Hundreds of different brands of cigars are represented.

Increased marketing via the existing website could further expand the business.
