DIESEL DISCIPLE ADDS NEW SIZES

Diesel Disciple will welcome two new sizes as permanent additions to the brand’s growing
lineup.

The soon-to-be-released Toro and Torpedo vitolas will mark the second and third sizes in the
line and will begin shipping this week.

Justin Andrews said, “We decided to launch two new sizes of Diesel Disciple this year because
the blend has gotten such a strong endorsement from the retail community. They love the
blend and the packaging and often tell us that Disciple smokes like a $20 cigar for half the
price. We’re looking forward to rolling out the new formats and will continue to expand the line
according to demand from retailers and cigar smokers.”

Handcrafted at Tabacalera AJ Fernandez in Estelí, Nicaragua and developed in collaboration
between AJ and STG’s Justin Andrews, Diesel Disciple is a robust and balanced cigar blended to
stand out in the medium-full spectrum.

Made with a Mexican San Andreas wrapper, an Ecuadoran Sumatra binder and a filler
exclusively comprised of Nicaraguan Habano from Esteli, the cigar exemplifies blending
expertise with an unexpected layer of sweetness that creates intrigue against Disciple’s bold
and peppery notes.

Diesel Disciple Toro (6.25” x 52); SRP per cigar $9.99
Diesel Disciple Torpedo (6.5” x 54); SRP per cigar $10.49

Both new Diesel Disciple sizes come in 10-count boxes. The line is distributed by Forged Cigar
Company.

Originally released to the top US brick and mortar retailers as a TAA exclusive in 2021, Diesel
Disciple became a full-time line in 2022 when the brand’s sole frontmark a Lancero (7” x 38)
became available in all channels.

Tobacco Plus Expo: Supporting the Support Beams of the Tobacco Industry

Tradeshow partners with NATO, offering contributions and a platform to help all facets of the tobacco business.

December 2019 – With the Tobacco Plus Expo 2020 (TPE) shaping up to be a must-attend event for the new year, the Tobacco Media Group, Inc. (TMG), is pleased to announce its continued support and partnership with the National Association of Tobacco Outlets (NATO), which includes a significant presence at the TPE 2020 show, held Wednesday, January 29, 2020 through Friday, January 31, 2020 at the Las Vegas Convention Center in Las Vegas, Nevada.

With 60,000 members, NATO works endlessly to protect the rights and interests of tobacco retailers and consumers, while influencing significant business decisions and legislation. They are a resource to all, disseminating details on FDA regulations and local, state, and federal issues regarding tobacco, e-cigarettes & vapor, adult rights, and retailer freedoms. TMG has battled regulations right alongside NATO, using Tobacco Business, their popular magazine, as a means of distributing information and being a reputable resource for the latest industry news.

Like many in the industry, TMG and their parent company, Kretek International, Inc. also contribute monetarily to NATO, facilitating and fighting legislation that affects the entire tobacco business. In addition to this financial support, TMG is dedicated to elevating the organization by bringing NATO to TPE and bringing the industry to NATO.

NATO will be a strong presence at this year’s show, occupying a booth with team members offering information and insight to attendees and exhibitors. They will also be leading several of TPE 2020’s IGNITE educational sessions, speaking on market trends and current legislation.

“We see the TPE show as a huge opportunity to partner with organizations like NATO,” says Ben Stimpson, Managing Director of the Tobacco Media Group, Inc. “Tom Briant and his team are leading a comprehensive and imperative legislative charge to help educate and fight for all businesses in the tobacco industry. The information we share, and the money we donate helps their legislation efforts at local and state levels and strengthens our industry as a whole. NATO is the ace in all of our pockets.”

The first major tradeshow of the year for the tobacco and alternative industries, TPE 2020 brings together retailers, distributors, manufacturers, and industry media for three days of solid business, networking, learning, and fun.
