Arturo Fuente cigars has expanded its international footprint. This week, Arturo Fuente International formed a distribution partnership with Spain’s La Casa del Tabaco (LCT), which will begin importing and distributing Arturo Fuente cigars for the Spanish market.
“We haven’t had a distributor in Spain for many years,” Jeremiah Meerapfel, president of Arturo Fuente International, told
Cigar Aficionado. Spain has a long history of cigar consumption, and the country has traditionally ranked as one of the bigger markets for handmade cigars, especially Cubans, although one that has shown a prevalence for less expensive smokes.
La Casa del Tabaco is the new distributor of Arturo Fuente products in Spain.
“We are thrilled to finally work with the Zapata family” said Jeremiah Meerapfel, president of Arturo Fuente International, in a press release. “Ramon (Zapata) has been friends with Carlito Fuente and I for many years and share common values with our families including hard work, determination and above all, a passion and respect for the finest premium cigars.”
La Casa del Tabaco says that it is creating a separate sales team within its company to handle just the Arturo Fuente products.
“It is important the brand is handled separately,” said Aitor Zapata, marketing director for La Casa del Tabaco. “Arturo Fuente is the crown jewel of the premium cigar industry; we must insure (sic) it has our full attention and that of our retail partners.”
