Swisher

Swisher's remarkable journey began in 1861 when David Swisher received a small cigar business in Newark, Ohio as settlement of a debt. What started as a humble operation with David and his four sons selling cigars from "rolling stores" across the Midwest has evolved into one of America's most recognizable tobacco brands.The company revolutionized the industry in 1923 by becoming the first to order rolling machines, transforming production capabilities. After relocating to Jacksonville, Florida in 1924, they achieved another breakthrough by becoming the first company to wrap individual cigars in cellophane. The iconic Swisher Sweets brand launched in 1958, and by 1964, the company was producing four million cigars daily, shipping to all 50 states and 47 countries.Strategic acquisitions followed, including Universal Cigar in 1986 and Drew Estate in 2014. In 2020, the company rebranded from Swisher International to simply "Swisher," signaling its evolution beyond traditional tobacco into lifestyle products. Now, Swisher has embraced cannabis legalization by launching premium THC-infused blunts, bringing their legendary craftsmanship to the cannabis community.
