Looking for Cigar Aficionados

8 years ago
Hello! I was told about this forum from an American who has spent time in Ecuador in the expat community. He tells me there is little to no outlet for premium cigars in the community.

Don't know if you folks know how the FDA is breathing down our necks to shut down boutique cigar business in the US, but they are. My partner, Michael and I are looking for overseas avenues to ship our premium cigars to circumvent the US restrictions. We are looking for someone who may be interested in retailing our cigars. We are CATELLI Cigar Company. Our blends are crafted in Nicaruagua in two factories: by Noel Rojas and Erik Espinosa--constructed with Ecuadorian wrappers and Nicaraguan binders/fillers. They are delicious.

I don't know if this is an inappropriate post, but the gentleman I spoke with at the IPCPR trade show said that I should contact Americans in Ecuador to see if we could open a corridor for sales.

If I can tell you more (and I didn't violate any rules posting this) please contact me. I am Kathy Pickering. My email: [email protected].

We hear Ecuador is amazing. We'd love an excuse to come down!

All the best to you!

Kathy Pickering
