The newly established Sitanpa Tobacco Company's cigars have already started to enter stores in Europe.
West Tampa Tobacco Co., a new company founded by former General Cigar Co. employees Rich Rodriguez and Gus Martinez, launched two flagship cigar lines earlier this year in the United States. These cigars are now being sold in Belgium, Germany, the Netherlands, and Sweden.
In Belgium, it is distributed by GDV Consult, in Germany by Kleinlagel, in the Netherlands by Small Batch Traders BV and in Sweden by Kind Cigar.
Stijn Elbersen is leading our global expansion, and we are thrilled to be able to sell in the European markets mentioned above," said Rodriguez in a press release. "It gives me the chance to offer my cigars to consumers who I care about and who care about me. I'm pleased that they can taste what I've been working hard on recently. Gus, Stijn, and I chose these importers because they share our values of passion for handmade cigars and respect for people. We believe they will work with us to make a difference.
Earlier this year, the Xingtanpa Tobacco Company launched two lines of products - Black and White. Both production lines are manufactured at Garmendia Cigars Co. in Esteli, Nicaragua.
