McIntyre joins Emilio Cigars Full Time

What do you get when you combine youth, passion, and creative genius? The McIntyre Effect.
A bit over a year ago I was standing in my hotel room at IPCPR in New Orleans, staring out at the Mississippi river, and talking to a young man on the telephone about our cigars. He made it clear that his dream in life was to be involved in the cigar industry. I brought him on as an independent sales rep without ever meeting him in person. That young man was Nathan McIntyre, a resident of Spring Hill, Tennessee.
He immediately established himself as a major presence in his market, opening and servicing the accounts of retailers in a way that drew constant praise not only from the retailers themselves, but from long-established members of the industry who recognized his talents, and admired his determination.
A few months later, as Emilio Cigars grew I appointed Nathan to the position of National Director of Sales, a position that afforded him no additional compensation from our fledgling enterprise, but imposed huge additional burdens on him. He undertook the task without hesitation, and always expressed his faith that I would honor the commitment I made to him at that time – someday he would become our first full-time member of staff. He never questioned my judgement when circumstances forced me to delay honoring that promise. He always believed.
Today, at long last, Nathan joins us full time in that same capacity, supervising a now nationwide sales staff, and taking responsibility for a cigar brand that has grown almost five fold in size just in the months since he first joined us.
The coming months will be exciting for all of us as Nathan begins traveling the country, assisting and training our sales representatives, and educating retailers not only about the Emilio brand, but the portfolio of small and promising other cigar brands we now distribute, including Rodrigo, Herederos de Robaina, Guayacan, and 1502 Cigars.
Watch for the McIntyre Effect to take hold across the country. Watch what we are about to do. Wish him well. Let’s get it done in a bigger way than any of us ever imagined in the beginning it could be. See that determined young man in the picture? He is my right hand, my brother, and a man I now trust with everything I’ve worked so hard for. Together at last. Let’s get this done.

Joya de Nicaragua Rebranding “Cuenca y Blanco” to “CyB”

Estelí, Nicaragua – Joya de Nicaragua® (JDN), the oldest Nicaraguan cigar manufacturer,announced today that it is rebranding its new Cuenca y Blanco to “CyB by Joya de Nicaragua ”. This change is being proactively, self implemented to satisfy the possibility of any unintended, potential trademark conflicts with other brands, and is being done so in the spirit of maintaining the harmony within our small industry of premium handmade cigars. The brand name change will not alter the blend in any way; the CyB cigar will be preserving its unrivaled quality and essence.

“We did not realize there was any potential conflict over the name, otherwise we never would have used it to begin with”, expresses Dr. Alejandro Martínez Cuenca, Owner and President of JDN, “It is never our intention to imitate others and rather than waste energy in a possibly long, drawn out legal dispute, simply changing it resolves any issue. I want our efforts focused solely on the working tobaccos, maintaining the quality of our cigars and satisfying our customers. Our industry is facing much more relevant challenges today that demand our united and collective efforts. We appreciate the forty-five years of trust our cigar consumers, retailers and distributors have afforded Joya de Nicaragua and it is our duty and honor to always ensure our brands continue to be the global icons of the Nicaraguan Spirit”.

José Blanco, Senior VP of JDN adds, “All of us are extremely proud of CyB. We spent a year perfecting this intricate blend of tobaccos to deliver a truly unique smoking experience. It’s a medium to full bodied smoke, with lots of flavor and complexity, with a great aroma and a long finish. We may have changed the name, but the jewel we havecreated continues to be exactly the same!”

Cigars shipped to our wholesale customers from today forward by Drew Estate, our US Distributor, will reflect this name change. Like the cigar itself, the brand’s overall design and packaging remains identical, the only difference being the name. Some legacy-boxed cigars from the initial launch may remain in the marketplace during the transition.

About CyB by JOYA DE NICARAGUA
Departing from Joya de Nicaragua’s tradition of crafting only Nicaraguan leaf puros, the CyB has been intricately blended to be a smoke comprised of the finest tobaccos from four separate countries of origin: Nicaragua, Dominican Republic, Ecuador and Peru. It is a complex liga of well-balanced tobaccos resulting from nearly a year of incessant experimentation and dedication. Our labor of passion has resulted in a very flavorful, relaxing smoke with a tantalizing taste and aroma. Formerly known as Cuenca y Blanco ,CyB is the first cigar creation of the Joya de Nicaragua factory in collaboration with famed cigar maker Jose Blanco since his joining the company in 2011.

Available Sizes: CoronaReal 5.5 x 46; Robusto Deluxe 5.25 x 50; Lonsdale Club 6.5 x 44; Toro Supremo 6 x 54;Torpedo Especial 6.25 x 52
