Oveja Negra Brands announced that it will bring Apostate Cigars into its stable beginning in June, joining its three current brands, Black Label Trading Co., Black Works Studio, and Emilio Cigars. Oveja Negra Brands offers a unified sales and marketing team and centralized distribution through L.J. Zucca, a tobacco distributor since 1947.
“We’re thrilled and honored to be joining the Oveja Negra Brands, which we have long admired,” said Kendrick Woolstenhulme, co-founder and president of Apostate Cigars. “We are excited for the things to come and look forward to adding our blends to this amazing table.”
Brandon Oveson, co-founder and vice president at Apostate Cigars, called this a “melding of values,” adding that both companies have carved their own respective paths to this point.
“Apostate is a great example of a uniquely different brand that fits what we’re looking for,” said James Brown, creator of Black Label Trading Company and a partner at Fabrica Oveja Negra. “Their predominantly Dominican portfolio and blend style will be a great addition to Oveja Negra Brands.”
