Plasencia Cigars Joins Forces With STG To Expand In Canada

Plasencia Cigars, one of the world’s largest, high-profile tobacco growers and cigar manufacturers, is expanding its distribution to Canada through its partnership with the Scandinavian Tobacco Group Canada (STG Canada). Effective August 27th, STG Canada will administer the distribution, sales, and promotion of Plasencia Cigars’ products in stores across Canada.

“We’re very excited to build on our company’s success by going into this market with STG Canada, a distinguished leader in the industry,” said Nestor Andrés Plasencia, CEO of Plasencia Cigars (pictured). “Canadian consumers have been long anticipating the arrival of Plasencia Cigars that our family has been proudly crafting for over 150 years. Serving our customers has always been our first priority, and we can’t wait for Canadian consumers to finally enjoy our products.”

Under this new partnership, Plasencia Cigar products will be distributed to over 500 stores, including consumer favorites like Plasencia Cosecha 146, Reserva 1898, Reserva Original, Alma Fuerte and Alma Del Campo.

“We have been fans of Plasencia Cigars for years,” said Sylvain Laporte, president of STG Canada. “We couldn’t be happier to welcome the Plasencia family into our own, and I’m sure Canadians will appreciate the diversity and high quality of these new cigars.”
