JM Tobacco, Inc., a Los Angeles, California, retailer and producer of premium cigars, has acquired all assets, marketing rights and the Zoidian brand name from George Hafoury, founder and former owner of the ten-year-old Glendale, California, company.<\/p>\n
JM is replacing the original Zoidian selections with an entirely new and different lineup of four shapes and blends. They will be made at the same Dominican factory as all of JM\u2019s cigars. The company is spotlighting Zoidian at IPCPR 2017, as well as JM\u2019s full-premium Espa\u00f1ola, their first introduction in 1996, which has continued in limited production until now.<\/p>\n
JM\u2019s president, Anto Mahroukian, reports, \u201cThese Zoidian cigars bridge the gap between our principal JM\u2019s brand of cigars \u2026 all retailing for less than $3 \u2026 and our flagship Espa\u00f1ola, at $7-$8.\u201d Zoidian\u2019s suggested retail pricing falls between $4 and $5 for its four classic Cuban shapes \u2026 Robusto, Toro, Churchill and 6-3\/4″ x 62 Gordo Grande.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Zoidian shapes come in Natural (Sumatran) or Maduro (San Andreas, Mexico) wrappers. The binders are true Connecticut Broadleaf, and the fillers are Cuban seed Dominican leaf.<\/p>\n
Quoting Mahroukian, \u201cJM is noted for its use of Cuban sandwich fillers, which wrap short- and medium-length leaves and remnants (but not chopped) inside one or more long filler leaf(ves). In addition to maximizing economy, they virtually eliminate burn problems in all our JM\u2019s cigars. By selecting remnants from top-quality long-filler cigar brands, our flavor and body properties surprise even the most discriminating palates. Of course, we include Cuban sandwich filler in our Zoidian brand.\u201d<\/p>\n
