• Philip Morris USA Sues Don Abram Harris Cigars Over "Marlboro Man" Cigar (halfwheel.com) — A new federal lawsuit over the "Marlboro Man" cigar now pits Philip Morris USA directly against Don Abram Harris Cigars, whose founder drew inspiration from his father's work in Upper Marlboro tobacco fields. The case centers on trademark rights and whether consumers might confuse the small Maryland company's cigar with Philip Morris' iconic Marlboro brand, with billions of dollars and future sales potentially at stake.
