A professional operating chain, built around premium cigars.

Receiving is the foundation of a reliable stock position. We coordinate expected inbound shipments and receiving windows, then check incoming cartons and cases against shipping documentation and expected quantities before anything enters storage.

• Coordination of expected inbound shipments and receiving windows
• Cartons and cases checked against documentation and expected quantities
• Stock recorded into the inventory system by client and SKU
• Visible shipment discrepancies or handling damage identified at receipt
• Confirmation that stock has been received and entered into inventory

An agreed inspection scope catches problems before stock is stored or released. Our checks concentrate on what can genuinely be assessed at the warehouse: condition, count and presentation.

• Outer carton and packaging-condition checks
• Box-count and SKU verification
• Visible damage, crushing, moisture and transit-condition observations
• Basic presentation checks where agreed
• Photographic reporting for material discrepancies where appropriate
• Escalation to you before questionable stock is released

This is a dedicated cigar storage environment, not generic dry-goods warehousing. Cigars are treated as sensitive premium products where condition, presentation, traceability, timing and discretion matter.

Holding stock under bond preserves flexibility: inventory stays centrally positioned, professionally managed and available for allocation as your markets develop, subject to the applicable customs structure.

• Climate-controlled conditions appropriate to premium cigars
• Segregated inventory by client, brand and SKU
• Long-term or transitional stockholding
• Bonded holding that preserves flexibility before final market allocation
• Secure handling and discretion for high-value stock

Clear inventory visibility is one of our strongest differentiators. Smaller brands and factories can operate with the control of an in-house logistics department — without building one.

• Real-time or near-real-time stock visibility
• Inbound and outbound movement records
• Stock-on-hand reporting by SKU
• Order placement and release requests through the system
• Operational status for orders being prepared

Every release is picked, checked and packed to the standard your commercial partners expect from a premium product.

• Picking by SKU and quantity from client-owned stock
• Case, master-carton or box-level order preparation
• Mixed-SKU commercial orders
• Protective packing suitable for high-value cigar shipments
• Packing to agreed client instructions
• Final quantity and presentation checks before dispatch

• Re-packing commercial stock for onward shipment
• Consolidating multiple SKUs or orders
• Preparing bulk or loose stock for agreed final packaging where operationally appropriate
• Combining stock movements to reduce origin-to-market fragmentation
• Project-based handling for private label, special releases and regional allocations

We prepare shipments with customs-aware handling and export documentation support — and communicate directly with your appointed importer or distributor on shipment requirements. Destination-country regulatory representation remains with the relevant authorised operator.

• Commercial shipment preparation
• Export and customs-aware documentation support
• Coordination with freight and courier partners
• Communication with the receiving importer or distributor on shipment requirements
• Bond-to-bond and other B2B flows where the relevant structure permits

We dispatch to your appointed importers, distributors, duty-free partners and other authorised commercial operators, serving European, Asian and other international B2B destinations. Direct retailer shipments are supported where the destination-country structure permits; in markets requiring a local importer or excise operator, shipments are routed through your appointed partner.

• Shipping to appointed importers and distributors
• Shipping to duty-free partners and other authorised commercial operators
• Retailer shipments where the destination-country structure permits
• European, Asian and other international B2B destinations
• Shipment status and documentation provided to the client

Cigar Logistics is complementary to importers and distributors, not a competitor for your brand relationship. We coordinate shipments, documentation and timing with your appointed partner in each destination market, while the importer remains responsible for the destination-market functions that properly belong with it.
