GRE Trade Takes Over Exclusive Distribution of Buenaventura by Curivari in Germany

At launch, eight selected vitolas will initially be available in limited quantities.

Curivari was founded in 2003 by Andreas Throuvala and expanded into the U.S. market in 2010. The Buenaventura line, introduced in 2012, quickly developed into one of the boutique brand’s flagship lines.

“With GRE Trade, we have found a partner that understands the German specialist retail market and will develop Buenaventura with expertise and a long-term perspective.”
— Andreas Throuvala, Founder of Curivari

Prices for the initial range are between €4.50 and €6.90 per cigar, with boxes of 10 and 20 cigars priced between €59 and €118.

For specialist retailers, Buenaventura offers a distinctive boutique brand at accessible consumer prices. Different formats and flavor profiles allow retailers to appeal to a broad customer base, while the compact box sizes make initial orders easy to manage.

“Buenaventura is authentic, impressive in terms of craftsmanship, and positioned at a price point that allows specialist retailers to appeal to experienced aficionados as well as curious newcomers.”
— Olaf Ruf, Managing Director, GRE Trade GmbH

Deliveries to German specialist tobacco retailers begin immediately. Retailers can obtain information about the product range and ordering options through the GRE Trade GmbH field sales team.
