Escobar Cigars Expands Global Reach with Distribution in Ghana

March 25, 2025 Inspector X 2 min read

Escobar Cigars has announced its official entry into the Ghanaian market, marking another milestone in its global expansion. The brand’s premium cigars are now available at Leaf and Flame Cigar Shop, a premier distributor based in Accra, which also carries El Septimo and other renowned brands.

This strategic move further strengthens Escobar Cigars’ presence in the international cigar industry. With a growing footprint across more than 20 countries, the company has been steadily expanding its distribution network over the past few years, bringing its premium offerings to an increasing number of cigar aficionados worldwide.

Escobar Cigars is owned by Puros Privados, which made headlines in 2021 when it announced rapper Nasir “Nas” Jones as an equity partner. Nas, a longtime cigar enthusiast, has embraced the brand both personally and professionally. The name Escobar itself is a nod to one of Nas’s well-known monikers, referenced in his 1997 track Escobar ’97 and throughout his career.

With Leaf and Flame Cigar Shop now serving as its exclusive distributor in Ghana, Escobar Cigars is set to introduce its blends to a fresh audience of cigar lovers in West Africa. As the brand continues to grow its presence in new markets, it remains committed to delivering high-quality cigars that reflect its dedication to craftsmanship and excellence.
