The premium cigar industry is evolving fast. Great products aren’t enough—manufacturers, brand owners, and retailers need smart strategy, bold branding, and a clear plan for growth. That’s where The Cigar Profit comes in.
Founded by industry veteran Jonathan Lipson, The Cigar Profit is a specialized consulting firm designed to help cigar businesses sharpen their strategy, build brand equity, and drive long-term success. With two decades of experience spanning retail, sales, brand management, and marketing, Lipson understands industry challenges at every level. A Boston University Questrom School of Business graduate, he has earned recognition from Cigar Aficionado, Cigar Journal, Halfwheel, Ash Quarterly, Tobacco Business Magazine, among others, underscoring his reputation as a trusted industry voice.
Lipson stated:
“I’ve seen how brands thrive—and where they lose momentum. The Cigar Profit helps businesses make smarter moves, refine their positioning, and create lasting impact in a competitive market.”
Specializing in brand development, marketing strategy, and business growth, The Cigar Profit provides real-world, results-driven consulting built for execution—not just theory. Lipson works hands-on with clients to craft practical, high-impact strategies that keep businesses competitive and profitable.
To expand its offerings, The Cigar Profit has partnered with Cigars Consulting, a Nicaragua-based procurement and logistics firm with additional operations in Honduras and the Dominican Republic, led by founder Nasser Valenzuela, whom Lipson previously worked with in the cigar industry. Valenzuela’s comprehensive approach to procurement includes relationships with cigar factories across Latin America, quality control, vendor negotiations, and end-to-end logistics—from raw material sourcing to finished goods distribution.
Valenzuela added:
“We’re excited to combine our global procurement and logistics capabilities with The Cigar Profit’s strategic expertise. This partnership gives clients the tools to streamline production, control quality, and optimize costs while growing their brand effectively.”
