“Ventura Cigars has enjoyed much success under Phillips & King for the past 7 years. And now we’ve put the pieces in place to stand on our own and build upon the exceptional work that Phillips & King started. We’ve got the people, the products, and now a bigger infrastructure and focus. The future of Ventura Cigars is looking great, and I’m pleased to be a part of it.”

This new organizational structure will allow Ventura Cigar Company to shift to a direct-to-retail model, servicing premium tobacconists. The company is reportedly constructing a sales team that will be dedicated to offering its products to the premium tobacconist channel and these efforts will be headed up by Barry Bennett, Ventura Cigar Company’s national sales manager. The company will also utilize Phillips & King’s large distribution network to help sell its brands to its customer base, along with over 12,000 other products the company has in its portfolio.

The new structuring of Ventura Cigar Company is effective as of January 1, 2019. For all the latest news from Ventura Cigar Company, visit venturacigar.com.
