JOHN MIDDLETON

Today, as part of the Altria family of companies, we continue to honor that tradition. We are proud of the work our more than 500 employees have done to make Middleton a leading manufacturer and marketer of pipe tobacco and cigars. Our Black & Mild brand is the second largest selling large machine-made cigar in the U.S. Today, we have facilities in Limerick, Pennsylvania and King of Prussia, Pennsylvania, not far from our original home in Philadelphia. In 2007, Middleton became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Altria Group, Inc. Within the Altria family of companies, Middleton's role is to responsibly manufacture and market John Middleton brands to adult smokers in a financially disciplined way.
