Amarati Announces Cigar Specialist International for U.S., Canada Distribution

In the coming weeks, Amarati Cigars says its products will begin arriving at stores in the U.S. Coinciding with that, the company has announced a new North American distribution agreement.

Cigar Specialist International will distribute Amarati’s cigars in the U.S. and Canada. A press release says that Cigar Specialist International is the exclusive distributor for Amarati and “will oversee all sales brokerage, distribution relationships, and retail development” in the two countries.

“We’re excited to partner with Cigars Specialist International, one of the most respected firms in the premium cigar space,” said Amer Al Tamimi, founder of Amarati Cigars, in a press release. “Their deep market expertise and longstanding relationships with top-tier retailers and lounges make them the ideal partner to lead our North American rollout.”

Al Tamimi also owns Vintage Cigar Lounge, a store in Dubai. Last year, he launched Amarati with three lines. Earlier this year, the company announced three new Oliva-made blends and plans for American expansion, which included a booth at the 2025 PCA Convention & Trade Show in April.

Cigar Specialist International has a variety of cigar-related businesses from distribution to its own magazine.
