The last year The H.A. Co. existence was 1901.
In 1895—when steel magnates, financiers and railroad tycoons
ruled America’s Gilded Age
there were around 42,000 cigar factories in the United States.
In 1899, the Havana-American Company,
a consolidation of cigar factories in Tampa, New York, Chicago,
New Orleans, and Key West, was organized with a capital of ten million dollars.
This gigantic organization was intended to eventually consolidate nearly
all of the clear Havana cigar factories in the United States.
In 1901, the Duke Tobacco Trust, worth more than a half billion dollars,
made an active entry into the cigar business,
and the Havana-American Co. was sold to the American Cigar Company.
