DESCRIPTION
It was Julius Lichtenstein, President of American Sumatra Tobacco Co., leaf specialists, who in 1918, through some very sensitive and complicated negotiations, brought together six independent cigar manufacturers, all of them vying at the time for shares in localized markets with regional brands, and formed them into an amalgamation. Full cooperation among the six was slow to crystallize and it wasn't until 1921 that Lichtenstein grasped the reins of what had become the Consolidated Cigar Corporation.
