Receiving & Inspection
Inbound shipments from factories and approved origins are checked in against documentation, recorded by client and SKU, with agreed incoming inspection and cigar-specific QC.
Receiving in detail →Swiss Bonded Cigar Hub
A central Swiss bonded hub for premium cigars.
Receive, store, manage and release your cigar inventory from one specialist operation in Switzerland — with cigar-specific handling, real-time inventory visibility and B2B fulfilment to your appointed commercial partners across Europe, Asia and other international markets.
Step 1
Receive
Your stock arrives from origin and is checked into the Swiss bonded operation, by client and SKU.
Step 2
Inspect
Incoming shipments are verified against documentation, with agreed condition and QC checks.
Step 3
Store
Cigars are held under bond in climate-controlled, cigar-specific storage — segregated and traceable.
Step 4
Manage
You track stock, movements and orders through our web-based inventory system.
Step 5
Release & Ship
Orders are prepared and dispatched to your appointed importers, distributors and commercial partners.
The Model
One stock position. Multiple markets.
Ship production from origin into one central Swiss bonded stock position, hold that inventory professionally, and release stock in controlled quantities to appointed importers, distributors and other permitted commercial partners as each market develops.
You do not have to decide the final destination of every box at the moment production leaves the factory — and you keep full control of your importer and distributor relationships. Cigar Logistics is the neutral infrastructure layer behind your distribution, not a competitor to it.
See the full model- Ship production once; release it market by market
- Preserve flexibility until a distributor is appointed or an order exists
- Work with the importers and distributors you choose, in every market
- Start with launch quantities and scale the same structure
- Avoid fragmenting inventory across national warehouses too early
Core Services
The core storage, inventory and fulfilment infrastructure behind your distribution.
Cigar Logistics is not a general third-party logistics provider. Every part of the operating chain — receiving, inspection, storage, inventory, preparation and release — is built around the particular requirements of premium cigars.
Bonded Cigar Storage
Over 300 m² of secure, climate-controlled Swiss bonded storage designed specifically for premium cigars — segregated by client, brand and SKU, and held centrally before market allocation.

Our proprietary web-based system gives you real-time visibility of stock on hand, movements and orders in preparation — the control of an in-house logistics department, without the overhead.
Inventory management in detail →Pick, Pack & Consolidation
Commercial orders picked by SKU and prepared with cigar-specific care — including re-packing, mixed-SKU orders and consolidation for private-label and project work.
Order preparation in detail →Export Documentation Support
Swiss export and shipment documentation prepared on our side of the transaction, coordinated with your freight partners and the appointed receiving importer or distributor.
Documentation in detail →B2B Fulfilment & Shipping

Why Switzerland
A central, credible holding point serving European and international markets.
Switzerland offers a professional central location with bonded storage and strong international connectivity. Stock held under bond in our Swiss warehouse can be stored, managed and prepared centrally, then released to the appointed importer or distributor in each market as your distribution develops — while local import, excise and compliance functions remain with the relevant authorised operator.
