Title: “Artesano del Tobacco to Take Distribution In-House for Viva la Vida and El Pulpo Cigar Brands

The brothers Billy & Gus Fakih created Artesano del Tobacco after selling the Billy Cigar Inn in New York. And with the help of A.J. Fernandez they created the Viva la Vida brand and the upcoming El Pulpo. So far, A.J. Fernandez helped the brothers out with the distribution of the brands as well, but that will stop. There are no changes on the production side though.

“We are grateful for an amazing job AJ Fernandez organization did for our cigar brand Viva La Vida, “said Billy and Gus Fakih of Artesano del Tobacco. “Our relationship with Abdel is built on friendship, brotherhood, and most importantly selfless.”
