The Cigar History Museum will ultimately be very large, involving 10,000+ photographs and three to four hundred chapters detailing all aspects of the industry here, Canada and Cuba, with some information on cigar industry operations on other continents.
The Site Outline shows the direction this portion of the National Cigar Museum is going.
As 2010 opens, I have completed 200 exhibits and have 5,000 images posted. New material is posted every month.
