August 1, 2012 — It is my pleasure to announce that SAG Imports will be the exclusive distributor of Regius Cigars in the United States. The brand, rolled in Nicaragua at the Plasencia factory in Esteli, was originally created primarily to satisfy demand in England. Now spread throughout European and Asian Markets, Regius is sold at prestigious establishments such as Davidoff of London and the Mandarin Oriental Hotel in Hong Kong, as well as Davidoff of New York and Nat Sherman in the domestic market.

British brand-owner Ahkil Kapacee has now partnered with SAG to expand their presence into the US market. SAG will now carry Regius’ core line as well as a new edition, Regius White Label, made in the Dominican Republic at Manuel Quesada’s MATASA factory. This new line will debut at the IPCPR this week.
