        NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE A - BASIS OF PRESENTATION

     Consolidated Cigar Holdings Inc. (formerly Consolidated Cigar (Parent)
Holdings Inc.) (the "Company") is a holding company with no business
operations of its own and was formed as a Delaware corporation on January 6,
1993 to hold all of the outstanding capital stock of Consolidated Cigar
Corporation ("Consolidated Cigar"), through which the Company conducts its
business operations. The results of operations and financial position of the
Company therefore reflect the consolidated results of operations and financial
position of Consolidated Cigar.

     On June 15, 1995 Mafco Holdings Inc. ("Mafco Holdings") and Mafco
Consolidated Group Inc. ("Mafco Consolidated Group") formerly known as Abex
Inc. ("Abex"), consummated an agreement and plan of merger (the "Merger
Agreement") executed between the parties on January 6, 1995. The Merger
Agreement provided for, among other things, the merger of C&F Merger Inc., a
subsidiary of Mafco Holdings and the indirect parent of both the Company and
its subsidiaries and Mafco Worldwide Corporation, with Mafco Consolidated
Group, which was the surviving corporation in the merger. As a result of the
merger, the Company became an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Mafco
Consolidated Group.

     The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and
accordingly include all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring
accruals) which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair
statement of the operations for the periods presented. Accordingly, they do
not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally
accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. The fiscal
year of the Company is comprised of four quarters with each quarter consisting
of thirteen weeks ending on Saturday except the last quarter which ends on
December 31st. The statements should be read in conjunction with the
consolidated financial statements of the Company and notes thereto for the
fiscal year ended December 31, 1995, as filed with Form S-1 dated August 15,
1996. The results of operations for the thirty-nine week period ended
September 28, 1996 and September 30, 1995 are not necessarily indicative of
the results for the entire year.

        NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE C - INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING AND PROMISSORY NOTE

     On August 15, 1996, the Company completed an initial public offering (the
"Offering") in which it issued and sold 6,075,000 shares of its Class A Common
Stock for $23.00 per share. The proceeds, net of underwriter's discount and
related fees and expenses, of $127.8 million, were paid as a dividend to Mafco
Consolidated Group.

     Simultaneously with the Offering, each of the Company's then outstanding
shares of common stock were converted into 24,600 shares of the newly created
Class B Common Stock which totaled 24,600,000 shares. In addition, the Company
issued a non-interest bearing Promissory Note in an original principal amount
of $70.0 million to Mafco Consolidated Group. The Promissory Note is payable
in quarterly installments of $2.5 million, beginning March 31, 1997 with the
final installment payable on December 31, 2003, and, due to its related party
nature, has not been discounted.


NOTE D - NET INCOME PER COMMON SHARE

     Net income per common share has been computed assuming the conversion of
the Company's common stock into Class B Common Shares as of the beginning of
all periods presented and is therefore based upon the weighted average of

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS

COMPARISON OF THE THIRTEEN WEEKS ENDED SEPTEMBER 28, 1996 AND SEPTEMBER 30,
1995 AND THE THIRTY-NINE WEEKS ENDED SEPTEMBER 28, 1996 AND SEPTEMBER 30, 1995

     Net sales were $60.6 million and $43.7 million for the thirteen weeks
that ended September 28, 1996 (the "1996 Quarter") and September 30, 1995 (the
"1995 Quarter"), respectively, an increase of $16.9 million or 38.8%. Net
sales were $152.8 million and $115.1 million for the thirty-nine weeks ended
September 28, 1996 (the "1996 Period") and September 30, 1995 (the "1995
Period"), respectively, an increase of $37.7 million or 32.7%. The increases in
net sales were primarily due to higher sales of cigars. Cigar sales increased
primarily as a result of both a shift in the sales mix to higher priced cigars
and price increases on certain cigar brands and, to a lesser extent, an
increase in cigar unit volume, particularly in the premium market.

     Gross profit was $25.6 million and $17.5 million for the 1996 Quarter and
the 1995 Quarter, respectively, an increase of $8.1 million or 46.2%. Gross
profit was $64.4 million and $46.8 million for the 1996 Period and the 1995
Period, respectively, an increase of $17.6 million or 37.6%. The increases in
gross profit for the 1996 Quarter and 1996 Period were due to the increase in
sales, partially offset by increases in the costs of raw materials. As a
percentage of net sales, gross profit increased to 42.3% and 42.2% for the
1996 Quarter and 1996 Period respectively, from 40.2% and 40.7% for the 1995
Quarter and 1995 Period, respectively, primarily due to fixed manufacturing
costs spread over increased production volume.

     Selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses were $9.0 million
and $8.3 million for the 1996 Quarter and 1995 Quarter, respectively, an
increase of $0.7 million or 8.1%. SG&A expenses were $26.6 million and $23.6
million for the 1996 Period and the 1995 Period, respectively, an increase of
$3.0 million or 12.5%. The increases for the 1996 Quarter and 1996 Period were
primarily due to increased compensation expense in addition to increased
marketing and selling expenses for the 1996 Period. As a percentage of net
sales, SG&A expenses decreased to 14.9% for the 1996 Quarter from 19.1% for
the 1995 Quarter and to 17.4% for the 1996 Period from 20.5% from the 1995
Period. The decreases were primarily due to SG&A expenses increasing at a
lower rate relative to the increase in net sales.

     Operating income was $16.6 million and $9.2 million for the 1996 Quarter
and 1995 Quarter, respectively, an increase of $7.4 million or 80.7%.
Operating income was $37.8 million and $23.2 million for the 1996 Period and
1995 Period, respectively, an increase of $14.6 million or 63.2%. As a
percentage of net sales, operating income increased to 27.4% for the 1996
Quarter from 21.1% for the 1995 Quarter and 24.8% for the 1996 Period from
20.1% for the 1995 Period, primarily due to higher gross profit margins and a
decrease in SG&A expenses as a percentage of net sales.

     Interest expense, net was $2.7 million and $3.0 million for the 1996
Quarter and 1995 Quarter, respectively, a decrease of $0.3 million or 12.5%.
Interest expense, net was $8.0 million and $9.7 million for the 1996 Period
and 1995 Period, respectively, a decrease of $1.7 million or 17.9%. The
decreases were primarily due to a lower amount of debt due to third parties
outstanding during 1996.

               CONSOLIDATED CIGAR HOLDINGS INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

     The provision for income taxes as a percentage of income before income
taxes was 30.1% and 26.2% for the 1996 Quarter and 1995 Quarter, respectively
and 28.5% and 22.0% for the 1996 Period and 1995 Period, respectively. The
increase in the effective rate is primarily due to an increase in the
provision for federal income taxes during 1996 partially offset by tax
benefits associated with the Company's operations in Puerto Rico. Income tax
expense for the 1996 Quarter and 1996 Period reflect provisions for federal
income taxes, Puerto Rico tollgate taxes, and taxes on Puerto Rico source
income, together with state and franchise taxes. Income tax expense for the
1995 Quarter and 1995 Period reflect provisions for federal income taxes, net
of tax benefits resulting from the utilization of net operating loss carry
forwards, Puerto Rico tollgate taxes and taxes on Puerto Rico source income,
along with state and franchise taxes.

As a result of the foregoing, net income was $9.6 million and $4.3 million for
the 1996 Quarter and 1995 Quarter, respectively, an increase of $5.3 million
or 124.8%. Net income was $20.8 million and $9.9 million for the 1996 Period
and 1995 Period, respectively, an increase of $10.9 million or 110.7%.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     Net cash flows from operating activities were $20.2 million and $10.4
million for the 1996 Period and 1995 Period, respectively, representing an
increase of $9.8 million. The increase was due primarily to an increase in net
income, partially offset by increased working capital requirements.

     Cash flows used for investing activities for the 1996 Period and 1995
Period are primarily related to capital expenditures. Capital expenditures
were $4.4 million and $0.6 million for the 1996 Period and 1995 Period,
respectively. The capital expenditures in the 1996 Period primarily relate to
investment in the Company's manufacturing facilities to meet the increased
demand for the Company's premium cigars. The Company is expanding its existing
manufacturing facilities in the Dominican Republic and Honduras, and is
constructing, as part of a joint venture, new facilities in Jamaica. The
Company currently expects that its facility expansion projects in the
Dominican Republic and Honduras and the construction project in Jamaica will
be complete by the end of 1996. Capital expenditures for the remainder of 1996
are expected to be approximately $0.7 million, including funding for the
construction projects. The capital expenditures in the 1995 Period primarily
relate to investments in cigar manufacturing equipment and are part of the
continual maintenance and upgrading of the Company's manufacturing facilities.
For the 1996 Period, $0.5 million of cash flows was also invested, as part of
an equity investment, in the Jamaica joint venture.

     Cash flows used for financing activities were $13.8 million and $11.3
million for the 1996 Period and 1995 Period, respectively, and were primarily
used to pay $12.8 million of dividends to Mafco Consolidated Group during the
1996 Period and to pay a $5.0 million dividend to Mafco Holdings during the
1995 Period. In addition, the 1995 Period included net repayments of
borrowings under the credit agreement of $5.9 million. The 1996 Period also
included $127.8 million of net proceeds from the Offering which were
immediately paid as a dividend to Mafco Consolidated Group.

     In 1993 and 1994 the Company entered into two five-year interest rate
swap agreements in an aggregate notional amount of $85.0 million. Under the
terms of the agreements, the Company receives a fixed interest rate averaging
5.8% and pays a variable interest rate equal to the six month London interbank
offered rate (LIBOR). The Company entered into such agreements to take
advantage of the differential between long-term and short-term interest rates
and effectively converted the interest rate on $85.0 million of fixed-rate
indebtedness under the 10 1/2% Notes to a variable rate. Had the Company
terminated these agreements, which the Company considers to be held for other
than trading purposes on October 16, 1996, the Company would have realized a
combined loss of approximately $1.0 million. Future positive or negative cash
flows associated with these contracts will depend upon the trend of short-term
interest rates during the remaining life of the agreements. In the event of
non-performance of the counterparties at anytime during the remaining lives of
these agreements which expire at December 1998 and January 1999, the Company
could lose some or all of any future positive cash flows. However, the Company
does not anticipate non-performance by such counterparties.

     The Company's principal sources of working capital for the current year
will be generated from operations and borrowings under the credit agreement
with The Chase Manhattan Bank, as the agent (the "Credit Agreement"). The
availability for borrowings under the Credit Agreement was $37.4 million as of
September 28, 1996, of which the Company had borrowed $21.0 million (including
letters of credit issued). The amounts available for borrowing under the
Credit Agreement will be reduced to $34.9 million by December 31, 1996.

Simultaneously with the Offering, the Company issued a non-interest bearing
Promissory Note in an original principal amount of $70.0 million to Mafco
Consolidated Group. The Promissory Note is payable in quarterly installments
of $2.5 million, beginning March 31, 1997 with the final installment payable
on December 31, 2003. Given the availability of borrowing under the Credit
Agreement and cash flow generated from operations, the Company does not
currently foresee the need to incur additional indebtedness to meet the
Company's ongoing operating needs during the next twelve months.
