He established the business in 1994 as Smokers Outlet, one of the state’s pioneering tobacconist retailers, and grew it to its current footprint of 100 shops spanning Michigan, Ohio, and Indiana. Mazin Samona’s shops feature premium cigars and Spanish cedar paneling for walk-in humidors. They also have advanced humidification systems designed to keep product in its best condition.
