Just ahead of the InterTabac 2022 trade show, PDR Cigars has announced that it has entered into a distribution agreement with House of Smoke Gunz GmbH to be its new distributor in Austria.

“I’m very happy and pleased that Rainier Gunz will be representing my company in Austria, and I look forward to great things,” Abe Flores told halfwheel. Flores said he anticipates that House of Smoke will take receipt of his cigars by next week.

PDR Cigars had previously been distributed in Austria by Dios Tabaco.

House of Smoke distributes a wide range of smoking products, from premium cigars to hookah and pipe tobacco, as well as snuff, nicotine pouches, pipes, smoking accessories and liquor.

I strive to capture the essence of a cigar and the people behind them in my work – every cigar you light up is the culmination of the work of countless people and often represents generations of struggle and stories. For me, it’s about so much more than the cigar – it’s about the story behind it, the experience of enjoying the work of artisans and the way that a good cigar can bring people together. In addition to my work with halfwheel, I’m the public address announcer for the Colorado Rockies and Arizona Diamondbacks during spring training, as well as for the Salt River Rafters of the Arizona Fall League, the WNBA's Phoenix Mercury and previously the Arizona Rattlers of the Indoor Football League. I also work in a number of roles for Major League Baseball, plus I'm a voice over artist. Prior to joining halfwheel, I covered the Phoenix and national cigar scene for Examiner.com, and was an editor for Cigar Snob magazine.
