The company is actively involved in major cigar industry associations and has a dedicated legislative and regulatory affairs practice with a team of federal and state lobbyists. General Cigar's commitment to the premium cigar industry extends to the developing countries where its cigars are made. To help improve the lives of its employees, the company's social programs fund schools, provide literacy training, tuition assistance and health screenings. General Cigar's Charitable Contributions program provides financial support to children and families in need through local non-profit organizations in the communities where its employees live and work.
