Marsh Wheeling

The company originated in 1840 with Miflin Marsh producing cigars in his home.^[1] He later developed the company and opened a factory first on Water Street and later on 12th Street between Water and Main. In 1908, the company opened the location at 905–915 Market Street.^{[citation needed]} Marsh Wheeling was purchased in 1988 by John Berger & Son Co. The plant in West Virginia was closed in the early 2000s and operations were transferred to National Cigar, shifting production to Frankfort, Indiana. A company lawyer attributed the closure of the factory to factors such as demographic trends reducing the demand for cigars and West Virginia tobacco liability law.^[1]

The company was known for the Marsh Wheeling brand of stogies which were sold at a low price point, and its products appeared in movies such as The Green Mile and How the West Was Won.^[1] The cigar's famous box became a known staple of the tobacco industry.^{[citation needed]}
