Cigar Wholesaler

The resurgence of the cigar as a luxury item had many opportunist businessmen tried on capitalizing the craze by selling their own cigar brands. The result was a bedlam, with no one knowing which brand is which and where it came from, and many have been duped into buying sub par cigars masquerading as high quality items and carrying the most hefty price tag.

Thankfully, those murky days are over since several institutions have come up with measures to curb these low quality cigars: mostly counterfeited brands while some are reputable labels that are hastily manufactured to meet with the colossal demand for quality cigars. Now, several cigar wholesalers who have direct access to the manufacturers themselves have stamps. Like the EMS Stamp for cigar wholesalers that operate in Great Britain and over some parts of Europe and the AMS Stamp for cigar wholesalers that obviously operate on the United States.

Cigar retailing is a very lucrative business practice nowadays, because of several facts: high shelf life of the products, high turnover rate, and the chances over gaining continuing patrons are promising. The only twist you need to grasp is searching for a suitable cigar wholesaler and signing a deal with them. But for cigar wholesalers, here’s a list of them:

Hunters & Frankau at www.cigars.co.uk

Hunters & Frankau is a well established name of a cigar distribution company. Because they carry an exclusive seal for the UK trade of Cuban cigars, you can expect that their Habanas are indeed genuine, and price rightly. Look for the EMS stamp on all Hunters & Frankau. The EMS stamp (English Market Selection) should assure the consumer that it is a Cuban cigar manufactured for the purpose of selling on the British market. And oh, Hunters & Frankau is the only cigar wholesaler in the UK and Gibraltar regions that carries this authorization to sell Cuban cigars.

General Cigar Co. at Cigar World www.cigarworld.com

General Cigars Co. is the counterpart of Habanos SA, the group responsible for marketing exquisite Cuban cigar brands like Punch, Bolivar, Cohiba, and Hoyo de Monterrey among dozens others. Because since Habanos SA is included within the US Trade Embargo, General Cigars Co. manufactures and markets these brand names for worldwide consumption.

Ever since the trade embargo and several commercial disputes, Cuba has significantly mellowed down in its tobacco monopolistic attitude. Now Cubatabaco had ceased functioning as the sales representative for Cuban cigars, it is Habanos SA jurisdiction.
