Coles of London may be a company many cigar enthusiasts are not familiar with. Earlier this year, Coles of London would take over the U.S. distribution for S.T.

Patina Cigars was one of nine cigar companies that exhibited in the Sutliff Tobacco pipe booth. Over the past 18 months, Sutliff has quietly been bringing on smaller cigar companies to handle its distribution.

For many years, Miami Cigar was known for making its Nicaraguan cigars at My Father Cigars, and partnering to distribute the La Aurora portfolio […]
While Kristoff didn’t have any new products to launch at the 2021 Premium Cigar Association Trade Show, our team had made the decision early on to cover the company as the first booth of the Trade Show. There was no economy of scale or minimalist booth when it came to Kristoff. The company had a […]
Once again La Aurora was present at the Miami Cigar & Company booth. I was quite curious to see La Aurora’s presence at the Trade Show. Up until the Trade Show, the company had not had much in the way of newer releases. With Miami Cigar & Company reducing its sales force, many wondered […]
