New York based inquiry reveals the cigar shop has moved beyond corner spots into malls and hotel lobbies. Malcolm Fleisher of the Retail Tobacco Dealers of America notes about 5,000 to 7,000 pure tobacconist shops exist nationally, many independent and expanding via franchises like Tinderbox International.
