As of October 1st, 2008, Camacho Cigars, based in Danli, Honduras and Miami, Florida will become a proud member of the Oettinger Davidoff Group based in Basel, Switzerland. Camacho Cigars is a key player in the U.S.A., the world’s largest Premium Cigar market where around half of the world’s handmade cigars are sold.

The addition of Camacho Cigars to the Davidoff family expands the coverage of the Oettinger Davidoff Group from the Dominican Republic to Honduras and adds ten attractive brands to the Group’s portfolio along with its dynamic management and sales teams, presided by Christian Eiroa. This also gives Oettinger Davidoff access to one of the three largest tobacco growers in Honduras. The extensive Eiroa estates are located in the Jamastran Valley, Honduras and are especially known for their Authentic Corojo tobacco leaves.

“With the addition of Camacho Cigars and Mr. Christian Eiroa, the Oettinger Davidoff Group has successfully united two families with a passion for cigars as a Premium Product and the ambition to strive unceasingly for the highest quality standards”, as Dr. Reto Cina, CEO of the Oettinger Davidoff Group is pleased to announce. At the same time, the Group is expanding its presence in what is its most important cigar market – the U.S.A. Caribe Imported Cigars – the distribution company of Camacho Cigars in the U.S. – was founded by Julio Eiroa in 1987. Today, the portfolio encompasses ten brands with a total of 180 front marks. These brands include: Camacho, Baccarat “The Game”, La Fontana, Legend–Ario and National Brand. Camacho Cigars, which was founded by Mr. Simon Camacho in 1961, became part of Caribe Imported Cigars, Inc. and the Eiroa family in 1994.
