El Titan de Bronze Parts Ways With STG

El Titan de Bronze is ending its distribution partnership with Scandinavian Tobacco Group's General Cigar Co. after roughly two and a half years and will resume self-distribution. During the arrangement, STG handled U.S. distribution for El Titan de Bronze brands while the Miami factory produced non-Cuban Cohiba and Partagas releases for STG. Those Cohiba and Partagas lines will continue under STG, as will the Nicaraguan-made Redemption line introduced earlier this year. Factory founder Sandra Cobas and president Giselle Herrera both emphasized that the split is amicable. The change means El Titan de Bronze regains direct control over pricing, allocation, and retailer relationships, but also takes back the cost and complexity of nationwide logistics.
