Cigar Art Brands is taking shape.

The Dallas-based company has announced that Trey Andrews, the former E.P. Carrillo sales representative for Texas and the surrounding states, has been appointed the company’s new vp of sales and marketing. As part of his job, Andrews will be responsible for overseeing the sales of the Cavalier of Geneva and La Bella Otero brands.

Through that role, he will be tasked with managing not only the local sales, but also overseeing the company’s representatives in other territories.

“As we grow, Trey will offer Cigar Art Brands a needed perspective on field operations and strategies to meet our ambitious goals,” said Russ Hargraves, a partner in Cigar Art Brands, in a press release. “We have known Trey for years now and know him to be a person of integrity who works hard for the cigars he has represented.”

In addition, he will serve as an independent sales broker for the White Hat Tobacco brands, i.e. Hirochi Robaina’s HR lines, as well as E.P. Carrillo.

“I’m excited to be a part of a company that is passionate about the future our industry and that has such quality cigars in its portfolio,” said Andrews.
