Stephan Qarimi is the new international account manager for Vrijdag Premium Printing, one of the leading makers of cigar packaging.

Qarimi spent 11 years with Royal Agio Cigars before joining Swisher International/Drew Estate in 2017.

“Working in this great industry for so many years already allowed me to learn a lot about the cigar business,” said Qarimi in a press release. “I feel lucky to have built great relationships with cigar manufacturers and many people in the industry over the years. Vrijdag Premium Printing is well known in the cigar industry for its one of a kind embellishing techniques for cigar rings, labels, and boxes. I am pleased to join Vrijdag Premium Printing and I am excited to help the premium cigar manufacturers we work for to grow their business and cigar brands by creating true added brand and packaging value like no other.”
