Pospiech Introduces "Smoke This Trust Me" — A Bold New Cigar Line Engineered for Brick-and-Mortar Retail



Pospiech today announced the launch of Smoke This Trust Me, a new premium cigar line crafted in the world-renowned tobacco region of Estelí, Nicaragua. Available in three distinct blends — Connecticut, Habano, and Maduro — Smoke This Trust Me is designed from the ground up to empower independent retailers and bring unmatched value directly to walk-in customers.

Three Blends. One Mission.



















All three blends in the Smoke This Trust Me line are long filler cigars produced in Estelí, Nicaragua — one of the most celebrated cigar-making regions on the planet. While the specific blend compositions and factory remain proprietary, each cigar delivers a distinct smoking experience tailored to a wide range of palates:

Connecticut — A smooth, approachable wrapper for the discerning mild-to-medium smoker.

Habano — A spicy, complex profile with rich body and depth.

Maduro — Full-bodied and naturally sweet, for those who prefer a darker, bolder smoke.

Each blend is available in three vitolas: Robusto (5 x 50), Toro (6 x 52), and Gordo (6 x 60) — offering something for every preference without compromising on value.

Pricing & Availability

Smoke This Trust Me carries a uniform MSRP of $8.00 per cigar across all three blends and all three sizes. Cigars are available in bundles only, displayed in-store with bold "Buy 3 Get 1 Free" packaging — a retail-forward program designed to give independent shops a powerful selling tool right on the sales floor.

Built for Brick-and-Mortar

The driving philosophy behind Smoke This Trust Me is simple: give local cigar shops a compelling value product that keeps customers walking through the door instead of waiting at the mailbox.

"I wanted to create a program that helps brick-and-mortar retailers compete against catalog retailers — without affecting margins. A local shop should be able to offer real value to a walk-in customer, right then and there, instead of that customer going home to order online and waiting days just to save a couple bucks."

— Gregg Szczepankiewicz, Co-Founder, Pospiech

By presenting the Buy 3 Get 1 Free promotion directly on the display box, retailers can offer a transparent, compelling deal at the point of sale — no coupons, no websites, no waiting. The program is structured to protect retailer margins while delivering genuine value that catalog and online competitors simply cannot match for the walk-in shopper.
