| accounted for the greatest share of cigar sales (60.3 percent) followed by small cigars |
| (33.2 percent), and large premium cigars (6.5 percent). In recent years, cigar sales |
| have increased in all three categories, but the fastest growing segment of the cigar |
| market has been the premium cigar category where sales have increased by 154 |
| percent since 1993." |
