CertiFresh Cigar will be represented at the 22nd Annual ING Spring Conference next week, and based on recent sales reports, company officials will have a great deal to talk about at this annual gathering of media and golf industry leaders.
CertiFresh VP of Sales Geoff Stiles will attend the ING conference, set for May 20-24 at the Embassy Suites Greenville Golf Resort & Conference Center in South Carolina. CertiFresh will participate in the ING One-On-One Appointment Show and host a Cigar Under The Stars night following the Tuesday Night Awards Banquet. ING is open to anyone in the golf industry or media (www.inggolf.com).
Stiles will have very good news to share with the media and other business leaders at ING.
For the first quarter of the year, CertiFresh nearly doubled sales from the same time frame in 2011. And in March alone the company shipped over 30,000 cigars, nearly a 75% increase over last March. Thomas Grace was the top performing sales representative in the first quarter.
“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.”
CertiFresh now has nearly 1,500 customers, including high profile clubs such as The Greenbrier Resort, Trump National Charlotte, Monarch Beach Resort and Lansdowne Resort.

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.
