Founder & CEO of MLB Cigars, Mike Bellody states:

“My company has experienced significant growth in sales and brand awareness. That growth makes this the next logical step in the evolution of MLB Cigar Ventures. Enrique is not only my business partner in SeiBel, he has also become a very close friend. I’m extremely excited that we have come together to create a pathway for continued success for both of our companies. I will forever be grateful to Manolo and the entire Quesada family for all they have done for me and my cigar company.”

Co-Founder of Matilde Cigars, Enrique Seijas states:

“A key factor to Matilde’s success has been our close relationship with our retail partners and brokers. SeiBel Distribution will allow us to have a more direct control over our warehousing, shipping and customer service, enhancing our current relationship with our retail partners. Partnering with Mike was an easy decision because we share similar business philosophies when it comes to brand growth and distribution. Working with SAG and the Quesada family has been a great experience. Now it’s time for Matilde to enter a new and exciting chapter.”

Production of Matilde and MLB Cigars will remain unchanged.

All Matilde Cigars are produced at Tabacalera Palma in Santiago, Dominican Republic.
