Western Europe’s third largest cigarette manufacturer, Altadis produces and sells blond, regular and dark cigarettes. The tobacco industry comprises just a few major global players, of which Altadis is a world leader. Altadis is the only top-tier company operating in the major markets of the United States, Spain and France. It is also the only company to offer a portfolio of prestige Cuban brands, thanks to its acquisition of a 50% interest in Habanos SA in 2000. Altadis also purchased Consolidated Cigar Corporation in the United States. Consolidated Cigar was a large purveyor of cigars such as the Dominican made Romeo y Julieta and Montecristo. In 2003, Altadis acquired 800-JR Cigar, Inc., one of the largest cigar retailers in the United States.
