Stogie Road Cigars™ has announced it has moved production of its four core blends to Tabacalera Nuevo Nica SA in Estelí Nicaragua. This is a factory owned by Chris Weber, who also owns Veritas Cigars.
Previously Stogie Road Cigars™ were produced at Tabacalera Kafie, the factory owned by Kafie 1901 Cigars owner Gaby Kafie.
“There will be a longer period of time than initially expected where product is not available except for what is remaining on store shelves. The four blends have been reworked, or as I like to say they’ve been remastered and will make for worthwhile wait and experience for our customers. We have not just rebranded our core line but created a new look from packaging to new cigar bands. Stogie Road Cigars™ and Tabacalera Neuvo Nico SA, will create a Journey for our customers as they travel on the Stogie Road.” said Kerry (Viajante) Horney, owner and founder of Stogie Road Cigars™ in a press release.
“Kerry has a passion for tobacco which is apparent in how he’s approaching his current blends and his blends to come. Adding that he’s a barber pole extraordinaire peaked [sic] my interest even more. It is a pleasure and an honor to work with Kerry and his brand in this endeavor.” added Chris Weber owner of Tabacalera Nuevo Nica SA.
A press release by the company also stated, “You will see and taste the difference in the construction and flavor as these blends are reworked from the original blend.”
