Escobar Cigars Picks JIT Global for International Distribution (Update)
Escobar Cigars has announced that it has made changes to its distribution and fulfillment partners.
Domestically, the company has moved its U.S. fulfillment and distribution from Sutliff to City of Palms Distribution Services. This move comes as Sutliff’s cigar distribution service is being shut down by its new parent company, Scandinavian Tobacco Group.
Internationally, the group is turning to JIT Global for its international distribution. JIT Global is based in the Dominican Republic, with a facility in the free-trade zone that also houses the Tabacalera Palma factory. The company will handle the international fulfillment operations for Escobar, though as is typically the case, Escobar will use local country-specific distributors to handle the sales of the cigars.
Update — The original version of this story listed the company’s name as JIT International, it is JIT Global.
