Fermin Pérez Cigars has announced it is switching production and distribution to Tabacalera Familia Disla S.A. (TBFD) and Domain Distribution. Domain Distribution, announced last month, is a platform available exclusively to brands manufactured at its TBFD production facility in Estelí, Nicaragua.
Previously, Fermin Pérez was operating out of its own factory in Estelí, Nicaragua. With the production move, founder Fermin Pérez Jr. will remain directly involved in tobacco selection, blend development, and final approval. At the same time, the move helps Fermin Pérez with its distribution and simplifies the path from factory to retail shelf.
Retailers will be able to browse Fermin Pérez Cigars’ portfolio and place wholesale orders through Domain Distribution’s online platform. Centralized fulfillment will be based in Kansas City, Kansas. This will support nationwide shipping, while Domain’s sales and retailer support team will assist Fermin Pérez accounts with ordering and product availability.
Fermin Pérez Cigars says the move gives it a dedicated manufacturing home at Tabacalera Familia Disla as the Miami-based company expands its presence in cigar shops and lounges. Connecting production in Estelí with online ordering and centralized U.S. fulfillment is intended to simplify the path from factory to retail shelf.
Founder Fermin Pérez Jr. will remain directly involved in tobacco selection, blend development, and final approval. The cigars will continue to reflect his blending approach, shaped by his Cuban heritage and Miami roots.
“For me, the cigar always comes first,” said Pérez in a press release. “Familia Disla gives us a strong home for production, while Domain Distribution gives our retail partners a simpler way to order, restock and keep Fermin Pérez Cigars on their shelves.”
The Fermin Pérez portfolio includes Bold, Classic, Esmeralda, Royal, Miami, Puro Estelí, and Serie de Oro. The new arrangement provides retailers with online access to the portfolio, centralized fulfillment, and dedicated distribution support as the brand reaches more accounts nationwide.
