Jonathan Lipson Launches The Cigar Profit: A New Consulting Firm for the Cigar Industry

Cigar industry veteran Jonathan Lipson has unveiled The Cigar Profit, a specialised consulting firm aimed at helping cigar businesses refine their strategy, strengthen brand equity, and achieve sustainable growth.

A Wealth of Industry Experience

With more than 20 years in the premium cigar industry, Lipson brings an extensive track record of success to his new venture. He is widely recognised for his 12-year tenure at Alec Bradley, where he spent eight years as Director of Sales and Marketing. Following Scandinavian Tobacco Group’s (STG) acquisition of Alec Bradley in 2023, he transitioned into a Senior Brand Manager role, where he remained until mid-2024. His expertise extends beyond Alec Bradley, having also worked as a regional sales representative for La Flor Dominicana and as a retail tobacconist at Holt’s Cigar Company.

“I’ve seen how brands thrive—and where they lose momentum,” Lipson said. “The Cigar Profit helps businesses make smarter moves, refine their positioning, and create lasting impact in a competitive market.”

Strategic Partnership with Cigars Consulting

To enhance its offerings, The Cigar Profit has partnered with Cigars Consulting, a Nicaragua-based firm that specialises in procurement and logistics. Founded by Nasser Valenzuela, Cigars Consulting operates across Nicaragua, Honduras, and the Dominican Republic, providing essential services such as:
• Procurement management
• Quality control
• Vendor negotiations
• End-to-end logistics, from raw materials to finished goods distribution

“We’re excited to combine our global procurement and logistics capabilities with The Cigar Profit’s strategic expertise,” said Valenzuela. “This partnership gives clients the tools to streamline production, control quality, and optimise costs while growing their brand effectively.”

Tailored Solutions for Cigar Businesses

The Cigar Profit is now accepting inquiries from cigar manufacturers, brand owners, and retailers seeking to elevate their market position. With Lipson’s strategic insight and Cigars Consulting’s logistical prowess, the firm is poised to offer unparalleled support to brands looking to navigate the complexities of the cigar industry.

For those looking to sharpen their strategy, optimise operations, and establish a lasting legacy, The Cigar Profit could be the key to long-term success.
