Business Editors
WESTON, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--August 20, 1999--Havana Republic
(OTC BB: HVAR) announced today that it has successfully launched its
newly designed e-commerce site, www.havanarepublic.com. The site,
which is a fully interactive e-commerce site, contains the entire
inventory of cigars carried by Havana Republic, including such famous
brands as Dunhill, Arturo Fuente, Davidoff, Padron Aniversarios, Romeo
y Julieta, Partagas, Macanudo, Punch and Bolivar, just to name a few.
The site is constructed in such a fashion that before the user
can purchase any other cigars they first must navigate through the
"Havana Republic Grand Havana Series 2" boxed pressed cigars, with a
true two year aged Cuban seed wrapper which are both grown and
manufactured by Havana Republic in Jalapa, Nicaragua.
The site also includes the entire line of Elie Bleu Humidors from
Paris, as well as the complete line of S.T. Dupont lighters, cutters,
humidors and accessories, also from Paris.
Commenting on the announcement, Stephen Schatzman, President of
Havana Republic said, "We are very excited to finally release our
newly redesigned e-commerce site. We believe that our site is unique
in that we not only cater to the box purchaser by offering quantity
discounts in addition to our already discounted prices, but also
making available to the single cigar purchaser every single cigar we
stock at extremely competitive prices. In addition our uniqueness
continues with the extensive profile of high-end accessories. All
this, coupled with the synergistic marketing relationships we are
continuing to create, we believe we will continue to expand our market
share exponentially."
Havana Republic is a vertically integrated company which operates
cigar plantations and factories in Jalapa, Nicaragua as well as
upscale cigar emporiums and clubs in the South Florida market. In
addition to their manufacturing retail operations Havana Republic also
is involved in e-commerce with a fully interactive e-commerce site @
