Marvin R. Shanken
From the Print Edition:
Danny DeVito, Winter 96
(continued from page 15)
Levin: Yes.
CA: How many retailers across America sell Ashton?
Levin: We have about 800 accounts now.
CA: Of the 200,000 to 300,000 you sell in Europe, what is your largest market there?
Levin: The largest market for non-Cuban cigars is Germany. But demand in the other countries is starting to build. We just can't get them any product. I can't open up any new markets--we can't get cigars.
CA: Does Germany represent one-half or more of your European business?
Levin: More than three-quarters of it.
CA: Do you spend any time in Germany?
Levin: I used to go there a couple of times a year; I don't go anymore.
CA: What do you think has created the extraordinary demand for Ashton?
