From this, we’d hope to engender the support of more entertainers, who, like DJ Khaled, would become brand ambassadors to usher and weave the RICH brand, into the fabric of popular culture.”

This will be the second vending agreement Rich Cigars has secured to showcase the RICH brand at the Derek Jeter Celebrity Invitational – the first, was in the spring of 2016. 

Management indicated that due to events like this, the Company is quickly growing a fair amount global attention, thanks to the efforts of Reginald Saunders – a Board Member of Rich Cigars, Inc. and Senior Director, Entertainment Marketing for the Jordan Brand, and James Cruz – Marketing Director of Rich Cigars, Inc. and President of Bad Boy Management & Strategic Alliances.  Between the two of them (Sanders and Cruz), Rich Cigars has already been showcased at several private and/or celebrity events; including that of legendary basketball player, Michael Jordan’s high profile, private – ‘invite only’ – party, during the NBA All Star weekend. In each case, the entertainment world grows more familiar with the RICH brand, where management hopes a genuine sense of interest from celebrities, will translate over to the masses
