January 29, 2019 \u00e2\u20ac\u201c Benjamin\nHolt purchases Dissident Cigars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Benjamin Holt states, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Over\nthe past few years I have seen many cigar brands come and go. Some stopped\noperations due to fear of FDA regulations. Others because of failure to adapt\nto the changes in the market. My intent with Dissident is to learn from those\nlessons and utilize my experience from both the retail side and as a cigar\nrepresentative to create a cigar brand for a new generation of cigar smokers.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the past 5 years\nBenjamin Holt has worked in different areas of the cigar industry to include starting\noff in retail at TJ\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Cigar Lounge in McGregor, Texas. In 2015, he joined Black\nLabel Trading Co. as a sales representative assisting in expanding the brand\nand in the launching of their Black Works Studio line. In 2016, Black Label\nTrading Co. joined Boutiques Unified and Holt joined the team soon after,\ncontinuing in his role as a sales representative.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As to why he chose to\npurchase Dissident, he states, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153I have always thought that Dissident had huge\npotential and in time I would like to bring this brand back into the market.\nThere are numerous objectives that need to be met first before that can happen\nand I am working with some incredible people to see that come to pass.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Holt will continue to be the\nrepresentative for the brands distributed by LJ Zucca until further notice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
