Built from operating experience
Cigar Projects was created around a simple gap in the market: many cigar projects require more than a factory, a designer or a consultant working in isolation. They need someone who understands how product, supply, retail, distribution, logistics and market positioning connect in the real cigar business.
More than two decades in the cigar industry
The experience behind Cigar Projects comes from more than twenty years working directly in cigar retail, sourcing, international distribution, logistics, brand development and the operation of cigar businesses across multiple markets.
That perspective is practical. It includes dealing with suppliers, stock, customers, margins, shipping, product launches, retail environments and the day-to-day realities that ultimately determine whether a cigar project works commercially.
Commercial first. Practical throughout.
We begin with what the project is supposed to achieve. From there, we determine what needs to be developed, which specialists or partners are required and where Cigar Projects can add the most value.
We do not need to force every project into a standard package. Some clients need an end-to-end development; others need factory access, a commercial review, retail input or a project lead for one defined stage.
Industry relationships across the supply chain
Our work can draw on relationships and experience across cigar manufacturing, sourcing, retail, distribution and logistics, including production relationships in the Dominican Republic, Nicaragua and Honduras. The specific team around a project is assembled according to what the project requires.
A Premier Cigar Group company

The relationship provides a broader base of operating experience while Cigar Projects remains a distinct B2B business with its own identity and client focus.
