... that John S. Middleton sold his family business to Altria for US$2.9 billion?

5x expanded by Muboshgu (talk). Self-nominated at 18:27, 30 June 2015 (UTC).

Hook is short enough and interesting enough (though it might be more interesting if modified to refer to his "family cigar business") and is supported by in-line citations to reliable sources. Article is long enough and satisfies newness requirement with 5x expansion on June 30. Article is also supported by citations to reliable sources. Spot-checking does not reveal instances of copyright violation, plagiarism or unduly close paraphrasing. QPQ needs to be completed before this can receive a green tick.

QPQ provided. Fine to add "cigar" to the hook if desired. – Muboshgu (talk) 20:53, 4 July 2015 (UTC)
