Newly formed Crux Cigar Company is preparing for their initial launch.  The company plans to release three different blends in two vitolas – the Ninfamaniac, Ninfamaniac Dark, and the Skeeterz.  The company also plans to follow this up with three more blends (Classic, Passport, Bull & Bear) in May.

Crux Cigar Company was formed by Jeff Haugen and Joel Rogers, who own Tobacco Grove in Maple Grove Minnesota.  The duo has looked to build on their experience on the retail end as they enter the world of manufacturers.

“We look forward to our next chapter as manufacturers,” said Crux Cigars co-owner Jeff Haugen. “We believe our ‘front line’ retailer experience gives us a huge advantage. It provides incredible insight into building new cigars of the highest quality, developing cigars for underserved markets and servicing retail partners with the greatest respect.”

Cigars from Crux Cigar Company are hand-made at the Plasencia S.A. factory in Esteli, Nicaragua.  The company has taken a theme of “say goodbye to boring”.
