Oliva Cigars partners with La Casa Cubana to celebrate official Saudi Arabia launch

Oliva Cigars – part of the Vandermarliere Cigar Family (VCF) – has joined forces with La Casa Cubana, the official distributor of Habanos cigars in Saudi Arabia, to celebrate its expanding presence in the Kingdom.

An exclusive event at the new La Casa Cubana Cigar Lounge, Crowne Plaza Hotel in Riyadh on 29 January brought together the city’s cigar enthusiasts in a premium tasting experience highlighting the Oliva Serie V Melanio Figurado and Oliva Connecticut Reserve Robusto lines.

La Casa Cubana General Manager Roudolph Mouawad underlined the importance of the partnership in elevating the cigar culture in Saudi Arabia.

VCF Export Manager & Travel Retail Coordinator Thomas Gryson shared insights into Oliva’s legacy and craftsmanship. “We are excited to collaborate with La Casa Cubana KSA and bring our premium cigars to Saudi enthusiasts,” he said. “This partnership is key to ensuring broader access to our world-class products.”

Oliva Cigars has been available in Saudi Arabia since November. Despite strict plain packaging regulations, the brand, together with La Casa Cubana, noted its commitment to expanding its presence and enhancing the cigar experience for Saudi connoisseurs.

“With this milestone launch, Oliva Cigars strengthens its footprint in the region, offering enthusiasts across Saudi Arabia an unparalleled cigar experience through La Casa Cubana’s exclusive distribution network,” Oliva Cigars stated.
