NEW YORK, NY (April 11, 2012) - Tobacconist to the World since 1930, Nat Sherman is pleased to announce that every member of the retail sales team at its flagship Townhouse store in Midtown is now a Certified Retail Tobacconist by Tobacconist University. The Nat Sherman Townhouse is the first store in the United States to have an entire sales team certified by the leading tobacco authority for consumers and professionals alike.

“We want to provide the finest experience to every customer that walks through the doors of the Nat Sherman Townhouse,” said Michael Herklots, Executive Director of Retail and Brand Development at Nat Sherman. “As a company we are dedicated to elevating the retail experience both within our own store as well as leading by example for our fellow premium tobacconists around the country.  We couldn’t be more proud of our team for their hard work in making this happen.”

Accreditation by Tobacconist University requires months of intense studying and a deep passion for tobacco. All nine members of Nat Sherman’s retail sales staff completed a minimum of 500 hours as a working retail tobacconist to be eligible to take the Certified Retail Tobacconist exam. The one hour test consists of 100 questions on all aspects of the tobacco industry including cigar tobacco growing regions, seeds and plants, rolling, aging, packaging and more.

The My Father Belicoso The newest Davidoff NYC Exclusive! After more than a year of work and development, the My Father "Belicoso", made exclusively for the Davidoff New York stores is now available.  This was a special project between Davidoff GM Michael Herklots, Jaime and Janny Garcia of My Father Cigar Factory, and Rich Rodenhaus and John Gonzalez of My Father Cigars.  These beautiful Nicaraguan Puros were blended to be slightly outside the classic "Pepin" experience.  Modeled after the Bolivar Belicoso Fino, at 5.5" x 52 and packaged in traditional cabinets of 50 cigars, these Campanas smoke with a tremendous creaminess while still maintaining their rich Nicaraguan character and body.

We had a very exciting week this week at Davidoff. On Tuesday September 15, 2009 The Davidoff of Geneva store on Madison Avenue in Manhattan debuted the first ever S.T. Dupont Shop-In-Shop Corner. Joining me in hosting the event were Alain Crevet , CEO of S.T. Dupont Paris, and Michael Reynolds , CEO of Lotus MJYX, US Distributor for S.T. Dupont. About 85 invited guests and media attended the event including Comedian Ron White, Entertainment Reporter Bill McCuddy, and Actor Gianni Russo. For me, the "Shop in Shop" is important for a few reasons. When it comes to luxury smoking accessories, S.T. Dupont is undoubtedly the industry leader. From the elegance of the Line 2 lighter with its signature "ping" to the practicality and functionality of the MaxiJet's single action ignition and torch flame, they've really got something for everyone. We've always carried a full line of the S.T. Dupont smoking accessories, however the challenges of finding space to car
