Ventura Cigar Co. Adds Swiss Distribution With Davidoff

Ventura Cigar Co.’s products will now be offered in Switzerland through a new distribution agreement with Oettinger Davidoff AG.

“The Ventura Cigar Company and the Oettinger Davidoff AG have enjoyed a successful partnership for many, many years,” said Rick Charles, international markets manager for Ventura, in a press release. “Because we both have incredibly high standards for the quality of our products, and a mutual respect for each other and the industry, we’re able to create and shape this new opportunity, initially bringing Psyko Seven to Swiss retailers.”

That relationship is a manufacturing agreement. Davdioff’s Occidental Cigar Factory is responsible for producing a variety of Ventura lines including the PSyKo Seven line.

“There’s something really unique about the Psyko Seven cigars,” says Gerhard Anderlohr, general manager for Davidoff of Geneva Switzerland. “We’ve been impressed with their longstanding quality and success and are pleased to work with Ventura Cigars to bring this brand into Swiss retailers. I’m confident it will be well-received, and look forward at growing our partnership even more.”

The line will get its Swiss debut this weekend at the Expo Oettinger Davidoff in Lucerne, Switzerland. Charles and Ventura’s general manager, Michael Giannini, will be on hand.

Ventura is a division of Kretek International.
