As I understand it, the United Cigar Stores were the retail division of the American Tobacco Co. In true Trust fashion the ATC controlled everything from the raw materials to the final retailing of their product. The following is from page 214 of "Tobacco Tycoon"

"There were, in addition, eighty-two other subsidiary concerns in the United States, Cuba and Puerto Rico. Among them were plants manufacturing everything from briar pipes and licorice pastes to insecticides and fertilizers, as well as tin foil, bags and boxes [and] machinery."
