Cigar Box owners Tommy and Allyson Trella, Laurie and Bobby Veet and Michael Barletta – all born,
raised and live in the Hazleton area - opened the first Cigar Box store in the Laurel Mall,
Hazleton in 1996, managed to this day by Laurie. Even before opening their first Cigar Box, Tom
sold and shipped cigars from his garage, entering the world of Premium Cigar retail. It is a
classic American story – starting a business, creating jobs in local communities and serving
customers who enjoy Premium Cigars and a great customer experience. Cigar Box is a locally
owned, family-owned, veteran-owned line of stores. Tom served in the US Army reserves
including active duty and was deployed to Saudi Arabia during Operation Desert Storm.

• When you make cigar purchases at any Cigar Box store, you are buying cigars directly
  from them - chosen by them - based on their more than two decades of experience.
  They work hard and understand that their customers do too, so they select cigars with
  you in mind. Like you, they love a good cigar – ‘every cigar is like an hour vacation!’
