El Titán de Bronze & STG End Distribution Agreement
In a pretty slow news week, this one caught my eye as I hadn’t realized that it had been two and a half years since the agreement went into place. It also got me wondering just how beneficial it had been for both sides, and where it leaves the Miami-based cigar maker as it takes its distribution back in-house. The company has already said it is planning to unveil a new portfolio of cigars at the 2027 PCA Convention & Trade Show next March, so I’ll be intrigued to see what the coming months hold for one of my favorite boutique cigar makers.
