Nas and Escobar Cigars Have Announced a Strategic Partnership

Escobar Cigars by Puros Privados, Inc., a premium Nicaraguan cigar company, announced a global strategic relationship with Grammy Award-winning, multi-platinum music artist Nasir "Nas" Jones (a.k.a. "Escobar"). As a co-owner and equity partner in the excellent startup cigar brand Escobar Cigars®, the iconic artist and entrepreneur is once again leading the way.

Many artists have their own beverage companies, but Nasir's renowned public appreciation of quality cigars makes this a match made in Queensbridge but completed in Nicaragua. Nas, a real connoisseur of great premium cigars, will use his market reach and devoted fan base to assist the Escobar brand rise among the ranks of premium cigar producers around the world.

"When the team at Escobar Cigars initially approached me, I was immediately drawn to the brand by the exceptional quality of their product," said Nas. "This partnership with Escobar has been almost two years in the making and I am honored to be an equity partner with them. I am looking forward to growing this brand and to giving back to the local communities in Nicaragua where our tobacco is grown, aged, and hand-rolled into a premium cigar."
