Swinger Cigar Company, run by Ryan Gallimore has closed its doors. Gallimore made the announcement on the company’s social media channels.
The text of the announcement by Gallimore is below:
It saddens me to say that I have decided to close Swinger Cigar Company, a brand I created that merged my love of cigars with a love of golfing.
Over the past four years I have been blessed to work with multiple factories, spending extensive time in both Santiago, Dominican Republic, and Estelí, Nicaragua to design and develop twenty-two (22) SKUs and bring them to market. I met with families that taught me so much about tobacco, the culture of each country, and stories of Cuban history. It was an opportunity that was beyond humbling.
I want to thank my over 100 retail partners across the United States who helped support the brand these last four years, welcomed me into their shops, their homes and followed my journey.
To all the consumers who I was able to meet, herf with, share stories and follow on social media: it was a pleasure. I hope our friendships continue.
To all the media who supported me and told my story: thank you. I wouldn’t have been able to have any success in this endeavor without your help.
My life has been committed to the premium cigar industry, and I look forward to the future.”
