PDR Cigars Hires Robbie Streitz as National Sales Manager
Abe Flores has announced that he has hired a new national sales manager for PDR Cigars, Robbie Streitz.
“I’m extremely happy with my choice for national sales manager,” Flores told halfwheel. “I know he has all the experience and talent necessary to help me grow PDR Cigars.”
Flores added that he feels that he and Streitz are a lot alike and share common goals for the company. He also noted that this will free him up to focus more on the production end of PDR Cigars and the company’s factory in the Dominican Republic. Streitz has already begun working for the company.
“PDR has always been on my radar as one of the up and coming brands,” Streitz told halfwheel. “I’m going to make a conscious effort to develop the sales force and work on customer service for our retailers.”
Streitz was most recently the director of sales for Blanco Cigars, joining that company in January 2015. He previously worked for A.J. Fernandez and Esteban Carreras as the national sales manager for those companies.
He replaces Sean Williams, who held the position May 2013 through November 2014.

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.
