Nsolo Consulting Group, a company behind many of the cigar industry’s most interesting packaging and swag items, has added Ryan Gallimore as its new director of business development.

Prior to this, Gallimore was the senior manager of consumer engagement for Drew Estate. He is also the founder of Swinger Cigars. The company says that Gallimore will focus on identifying new business opportunities.

“At Nsolo, we have partners, not clients,” said says Nick Nanavichit, founder and president of Nsolo Consulting Group, in a press release. “Our objective is to promote our partners’ success by having key players within our own company that have a corresponding vision, passion and work ethic. That is why I was thrilled when I heard that Ryan agreed to join our Nsolo Team.  Ryan’s hire is the first of many new positions we will be adding to strengthen our company. I am confident in Ryan’s ability to support new partners, break into new industries and maybe even establish a cigar bar or two.”

Nsolo is not a widely-known name for consumers or even retailers, but its work is all over the cigar industry. The company designs and produces cigar boxes, humidors and other items like ashtrays and swag for many of the largest cigar companies, a list that has included Arturo Fuente, Davidoff of Geneva USA, Drew Estate and General Cigar Co., amongst others.
