The year 2012 just keeps getting better for CertiFresh Cigar, one of the golf industry’s most successful companies over the past three years.
Coming off an extremely busy PGA Merchandise Show, CertiFresh has added 77 new accounts the past three weeks, including agreements with two courses from Golf Digest’s Top 100 Rankings – East Lake Country Club in Georgia and Longaberger Golf Course in Ohio. CertiFresh now has over 1,300 golf accounts, including some of the most prestigious golf courses in the country.
The company also answered 162 requests for artwork mockup for promotional cards inside the CertiFresh packaging.
“We continue to be extremely excited by and thankful for our growth,” says VP of Sales, Geoff M. Stiles. Added President Bill Porter, “More and more courses are realizing the revenue stream that our product produces for them. All they have to do is keep the cigars in supply.”
As a result of the continued growth, CertiFresh has added three news sales reps – Joey Dixon in the southeast, Tom Newton in Colorado and Utah and Lenny Wolf in the northeast. The company now has 32 reps.
CertiFresh enjoyed another piece of good news in January, as the product was featured in that month’s issue of Cigar Insider Magazine.
Also, CertiFresh Cigar was one of three finalists in the prestigious ING Industry Honors awards’ Product Ingenuity category for 2011, and was honored at the PGA Show for achieving that status.

About CertiFresh Cigar
Every CertiFresh® cigar comes individually packaged in a specially coated sleeve with a Humidipak® insert. The disposable Humidipak® insert is the only two-way device that keeps the cigar at a perfect 69 percent humidity for up to one year. This allows golf courses to do away with space-eating and laborious humidors, and sell cigars from any location – the pro shop, beverage cart, bar & grille, card room, halfway house, etc.
Unlike most cigars found on golf courses, every CertiFresh® cigar is rated by Cigar Aficionado magazine at an 87 or higher. Every CertiFresh® cigar is hand rolled, nationally advertised and a major brand name and each is mild to medium in strength, and the very best quality.
The CertiFresh® product offers one other important benefit. By using a custom business card size advertisement in every CertiFresh® cigar package, the golf course operator can promote the course and make money from selling cigars. CertiFresh® can also include a coupon message on the art card to drive sales to other parts of the operations. And, the card can be logo’d, perfect for corporate outings and giveaways.
