Yesterday, we covered details of the announcement that La Sirena Cigars was acquiring Old School Cigars. As a result of this acquisition, three cigars from Old School Cigars became the “Old School Cigars by La Sirena” line. Today, we take a look at some of the offerings in this line.
Old School Cigars was founded seven years ago by Danny Ditkowich and the Holman family – owners of Tobacco Plaza in Great Neck, New York. It is Ditkowich’s daughter Arielle, who is the President and Founder of La Sirena Cigars.
Old School Cigars has had several lines over the years such as Brooklyn, GR8, and Randazzo. Today the company has three offerings – Jaxx LT, Jaxx, and Stixx. The company makes its lines in the Dominican Republic, Honduras and Nicaragua – giving the company a foot in each of the three major tobacco countries. Let’s take a closer look at these offerings
