Pospiech Distribution has announced that Mike Palmer is the company’s new national sales manager.

Palmer has spent five years as a co-host of the Cigar Hustlers Podcast alongside Mike Szczepankewicz, one of the co-founders of Pospiech. The company says that he will be “responsible for developing and implementing strategic sales plans, managing the sales team, and identifying new market opportunities.”

Pospiech is the distributor for Chogüí, Fable Cigars, Fosforo, FQ Cigars and Powstanie.

“We are thrilled to promote Mike Palmer to National Sales Manager,” said Szczepankiewicz in a press release. “We’ve been trying to find the right piece for our organization. After looking elsewhere, investing time, energy, and money in people we thought would be a fit, we realized the answer we were looking for was right in front of us. Palmer will start right at the top and with him we will continue to build our organization. He embodies everything any company could want. Not only are we lucky to have him as our colleague, we are extremely lucky to have him as our friend.”

Szczepankiewicz is also the co-founder of Powstanie.

“I am honored and excited to take on this new role at Pospiech Distribution,” said Palmer. “This seems like something we have all been working towards without really knowing it. I look forward to working with our talented team to build on our successes and drive the growth of our brands nationwide.”
