HISTORY OF THE LONE WOLF CIGAR COMPANY

We're a great American cigar company that manufactures and distributes premium cigars and related accessories. Our dedication to quality and commitment to our products captures the Lone Wolf Lifestyle -- Real people, Fellowship, and Great American Values.

The Lone Wolf Cigar Company was founded in 1996 by cigar lovers Chuck Norris and James Belushi. As friends and actors that shared a love for cigars, Norris and Belushi set out to create a classic American cigar company that represented their values and ideals. The result was The Lone Wolf Cigar Company. Today, the Lone Wolf Cigar Company offers cigars of high quality and features its proprietary lines: Signature Select, Lobo Fuerte, Sungrown and Wolfpack.

David R. Weiss, president of The Lone Wolf Cigar Company, purchased the company in 2000. Weiss's leadership led the company from a specialty niche position to nationally recognized brand in the marketplace. Weiss's interest in the company was as much about his respect for The Lone Wolf lines of cigars as it was about the vision he shared with Norris and Belushi of a company promoting camaraderie, community and culture. Weiss said, “Everyone is a Lone Wolf in their own way and we celebrate that by bringing Lone Wolfs together to enjoy the finer things in life.

Weiss's hands-on leadership was evident immediately as he reengineered the original cigar lines to balance the entire brand with the ever changing tastes of cigar smokers while keeping the traditions of the company intact. By revamping the existing lines and launching new ones, Weiss has built a portfolio of cigars that exceed the expectations of the aficionado and impress the tastes of casual smokers. The marketplace has rewarded Weiss's commitment to both Lone Wolf's cigars and its ideals by providing a constant demand for its products. This enthusiasm further secures The Lone Wolf Cigar Company's reputation as a source for exceptional quality and unbeatable value.

What started out as an idea in Chuck Norris's back yard has turned into a visionary company built to serve the great Americans that love their cigars.

The Lone Wolf Cigar Company has recently released two exceptional new cigar lines; The SIGNATURE SELECT and the LOBO FUERTE. The SIGNATURE SELECT is a mild to medium strength cigar made with top grade tobaccos from the Dominican Republic . The LOBO FUERTE is a full-flavored cigar which boasts a powerful blend of Nicaraguan tobaccos. These cigars are highly rated by industry experts and have proven to be exciting additions to the cigar marketplace.

The Lone Wolf Cigar Company is committed to supporting the American tradition of cigar smoking by providing exciting products for the novice as well as the seasoned aficionado. “It is our goal to make cigars of exceptional quality and unbeatable value for retailers and customers alike, while giving back to the community” states Weiss. “This is our mission statement, which we pursue with pride.” Lone Wolf furthers its mission by continually researching and developing new cigar lines and continues its philanthropic intent by supporting “Kick Drugs out of America ”, Chuck Norris's endorsed charity.

The Lone Wolf Company's future plans include the addition of the LOBO ROJO cigar line, which offers a high grade Cameroon wrapper, a medium body with rich spicy flavors and the LOBITOS line, a premium mini cigar line. These highly anticipated additions will be introduced in the next twelve to eighteen months.
