Escobar Cigars Expands to Switzerland with New Distribution Deal
Escobar Cigars has officially announced a distribution partnership with CGP Compania de Tabacos Guggenheim, bringing the brand’s premium cigars to the Swiss market. Based in Zurich, CGP has been a leading distributor for over two decades, representing renowned brands like AJ Fernandez, La Flor Dominicana, and My Father Cigars.
A Strategic Expansion into Switzerland
As part of its growing international presence, Escobar Cigars has selected CGP Compania de Tabacos Guggenheim as its exclusive Swiss distributor. The move strengthens Escobar’s footprint in Europe, allowing cigar enthusiasts in Switzerland to access its portfolio through a well-established and respected importer.
“We are thrilled to partner with CGP Compania de Tabacos Guggenheim to bring our exceptional cigars to Switzerland,” said David Gomes, founder of Escobar Cigars. “CGP’s reputation for excellence and their deep understanding of the Swiss market make them the ideal partner for us.”
With Switzerland’s strong premium cigar culture and consumer demand for high-quality brands, this partnership aligns well with Escobar Cigars’ vision of expanding to new global markets.
The Story Behind Escobar Cigars
Founded by David Gomes and Michael McNaughton, Escobar Cigars operates under the parent company Puros Privados. In 2021, the brand gained significant attention when rapper Nasir “Nas” Jones joined as an equity partner, adding star power to the business. The name “Escobar” also references one of Nas’s well-known monikers, which he famously used in his 1997 track “Escobar ’97.”
A Global Brand with Growing Reach
Escobar Cigars has made impressive strides in global distribution, now available in over 20 countries. With CGP Compania de Tabacos Guggenheim handling Swiss distribution, the brand is poised for continued international growth in premium cigar markets worldwide.
Swiss cigar lovers can soon find Escobar Cigars through select tobacconists, ensuring easy access to the brand’s signature blends. Stay tuned for updates on availability and specific retailers.
