Answer 2

You should do a web search to see if you can find these companies and try to work direct otherwise you will have to deal with a distributor and they more than likely will be the wholesale link to retail operations. Most major brands already have distribution agreements and generally these cover wide geographic areas such as US sales or even north ameican sales. Not sure if you want a brick and motar type operation or only web based sales but there already both out there. I wish you the best of luck as if your sales are FL based it may be very difficult for you to break into the business.

Answer 3

The only help I can suggest is going to the public library. There, there should be a set of books (in the reference section) that list US manufacturers/distributors and other businesses by product category, besides by state, etc.... That is, it may list companies you want under "tobacco products", but it might also list the same companies under "California" and "Companies with over 500 employees"...

These books list goods and services, addresses and other contact info, contact people, history, size... and so on.

I just don't remember the name of the books. So ask the reference librarian and/or look around...

You can photo copy pages from it, take the info home, load it into a mail merge system or address book, and send out mail in bulk.

Good luck to you.

Answer 5

Afficinado (check spelling) magazine might help. Advertisers etc. ? Listing of domestic and export tobacco companies, from search engine, use North Carolina and Virginia to quantify search.
