Over time I've come to realize that we have been blessed to have some very passionate supporters of our brand. These are folks who, since the beginning, have advocated on our behalf. They have all along been like family, so today we begin the process of formalizing that relationship.
Over the next few weeks we'll begin announcing the appointment of a select group of cigar smokers to be known as "Disseminators." Across the country, these folks will be bringing you all the latest news about not only Emilio Cigars, but all the other terrific brands we distribute.
These will be the first people to receive samples of new products. They will participate in product development. They may even show up at shops and events bearing gifts.
We'll flesh out the details of how this will all work as we move forward, but effective today the infiltration begins.
A personal journey about cigars, tobacco, and the people who make them.

Emilio Cigars and Nomad Cigars enter distribution agreement
Emilio Cigars Enters Into Agreement With Nomad Cigar Company For Distribution Rights
January
4, 2012 – Fred Rewey, owner of Nomad Cigar Company, makers of Nomad
cigars manufactured in Dominican Republic, and Gary Griffith, owner of
Emilio Cigars, announced today that they have entered into a
distribution agreement.
Under
this arrangement, Emilio Cigars sales staff will bring the Nomad Cigar
line to market while Fred Rewey will continue to focus on product
development, brand expansion, and manufacturing.
Nomad
Cigar Company was started by Rewey in 2012 and quickly leveraged
Rewey’s experience with social media and online promotion. The result
was Nomad hitting the spotlight early in production.
"The
Nomad brand fits well with what we're trying to accomplish," said
Griffith "and I believe will become an important addition to the
portfolio."
Rewey
added: “I am truly honored to have Gary and the entire Emilio team
distribute Nomad cigars. In addition to being able to partner with such a
well-run infrastructure, it continues to give both Nomad and boutique
cigars in general a more significant presence in a growing marketplace.
The interest in Nomad since launch has been a bit overwhelming – this
new relationship will enable Nomad to continue to grow in 2013 and
beyond.”
The
cigars will be warehoused and shipped from the Emilio Cigars facility
in Vineland, NJ and should beginning shipping later in the month.
