Black Star Line Cigars now has its own warehouse and will be taking over its own distribution, the company announced in recent a press release. Previously, Black Star Line Cigars’s distribution was being handled by Illusione.
“It was time for us to move on. Illusione has been great to us and helped us grow to the point that we can take over and service our customers ourselves,” commented Black Star Line Cigars owner Aric Bey. “Having all of my product back with me is exciting because I’m learning a new aspect of the business which will also make us a stronger company. We will be reaching out to all our retailers to update their info in our systems.”
Last year, Black Star Line Cigars announced that it was ending direct-to-consumer sales of its products to help support its retail partners [read more here]. According to the company, ending direct-to-consumer sales has helped the company grow in the past year.
Though Black Star Line Cigars is taking over its distribution, those at Illusione will serve as mentors to Black Star Line Cigars as it continues to focus on growth.
