Holts Cigar Companys origins date back over one hundred years since 1898. In the span of those years, the name Holts has been synonymous with the regions finest imported premium handmade cigars. Since 1957, Albert and Jean Levin and son Robert in 1974, have operated the company with one clear philosophy; to provide area cigar smokers with the best products at a good value along with the best customer service in the business. The formula has worked and Holts Cigar Company continues to be successful. The cigar renaissance of the mid-nineties has catapulted the Holts name to levels of national recognition and respect. Starting first as a tobacco shop in center city Philadelphia, Holts has also developed a very successful mail order and wholesale division in recent years. In 1986, Rob Levin created the companys first proprietary cigar brand, Ashton. To promote sales nationally and internationally, Ashton Distributors, Inc. was created as the wholesale division of the company. Since then, Rob has nurtured and built Ashton to its status today as one of most successful and sought after premium cigars in the world. In 1999, Ashton released the much heralded Virgin Sun Grown (VSG) cigar which helped catapult the Ashton name to its current status as leading brand in the industry. Originally limited to a handful of retail customers, the mail order division has grown substantially since the early sixties and now distributes full color catalogs and mailers to tens of thousands of cigar consumers all over the country and is recognized as one of the largest cigar catalog companies in the industry. Nothing defines Holts Cigar Company more clearly than its center city Philadelphia flagship retail location where for a hundred years, cigar lovers have flocked to the friendly confines and relaxing atmosphere of the companys quality cigar shop. In 1995, the company opened a new and expanded cigar store that was instantly recognized as one of the finest retail venues of its kind in the nation. The ambiance and aromas, as well as one of the nations largest walk-in humidors and luxurious smoking lounge attracts thousands of cigar aficionados and novices alike to Holts Cigar Company. In Philadelphia and the Delaware Valley, when anyone thinks of cigars and fine smoking accessories, they think of Holts Cigar Company. Even though its costs a little more than a nickel like they did in the fifties, Holts still provides a coveted and affordable luxury for cigar lovers everywhere; the joy and simple pleasures of a fine cigar. In 2003, the company expanded its facility with the purchase of its 55,000 square foot building in NE Philadelphia. The purchase allowed the creation of an expanded retail facility on Townsend Road, a 13,000 square foot humidor and an overall capacity upgrade to better serve the companys retail and wholesale customers. Although Albert Levin, the founder of the Company, passed away several years ago at the age of 92, his vision of building relationships with customers and great customer service will live on as the true foundation of the company.
