Effective Jan. 1, 2024, Fuerte y Libre will use Fumare Internationale, the parent company of Illusione, for the fulfillment of its cigars.

Fumare operates a bonded warehouse in Reno that it uses and allows other companies to use. In addition to the physical space, Fumare has other backend solutions like software and logistic services.

“Fumare Internationale’s position as a brand owner, coupled with over fifteen years in the cigar industry, make them a premier addition to Fuerte y Libre’s growth strategy in 2024 and an invaluable component of our five year plan,” said Greg Free, president of Fuerte y Libre, in a press release. “Our strategy for growth has always placed a high value on peer to peer relationships with the top retail shops, marketers and Business to Business service providers. This exciting collaboration is an extension of that commitment to quality and growth.”

Companies like Amendola, Apostate, Black Star Line, Carolina Blue, Cavalier Genève, German Engineered Cigars and others have used Fumare for their fulfillment.
