Apostate Cigars announced it will join Oveja Negra Brands starting in June. Oveja Negra Brands includes Black Label Trading Co., Black Works Studio, and Emilio Cigars, with Apostate becoming the fourth brand in its distribution group. The company provides centralized sales, marketing, and distribution through L.J. Zucca, a tobacco distributor operating since 1947.
“We’re thrilled and honored to be joining the Oveja Negra Brands, which we have long admired. We are excited for the things to come and look forward to adding our blends to this amazing table,” said Kendrick Woolstenhulme, co-founder and President of Apostate Cigars. “We’ve always carved our own path, and Oveja Negra has done the same through its family of cigar brands. Joining this family of misfits and makers isn’t just a business move; it’s a melding of values. Apostate Cigars was built on doing things our way, and now we get to do it alongside people who get it and have set one hell of a table for us to sit at with them. We’re stoked for what’s coming,” added Brandon Oveson, co-founder and Vice President.
James Brown, creator of Black Label Trading Co. and Black Works Studio, noted, “As Oveja Brands grows we feel it’s important to diversify our portfolio. Apostate is a great example of a uniquely different brand that fits what we’re looking for. Their predominantly Dominican portfolio and blend style will be a great addition to Oveja Negra Brands.”
