Ventura Cigar Company

Ventura Cigar Company is the premium cigar division of Kretek International Group Inc., a massive tobacco importer and distributor based in Moorpark, California. Ventura debuted in 2011, as the Cassar family (owners of Kretek) sought to add a premium cigar category as a means to meet any and all needs of their large clientele. The company's first projects utilized the talents of the Plasencia family and their factories throughout Honduras and Nicaragua. In the years following, Ventura has expanded to offer premium cigars from an extremely diverse set of manufacturers throughout nearly all major cigar-producing regions of the world, including Davidoff, Drew Estate, La Aurora, Quesada Cigars, E.P. Carrillo, and Joya de Nicaragua, among others.
