Our passion for cigars
The cigar business has a habit of creating such a strong bond that those involved in the industry never want to leave. This is certainly the case in ECMI, what was originally a very small factory based in Ireland is now part of the multi-national J Cortes Group of companies. There is a love for cigars that runs through the families that have been involved in the business over all of that time, from the Swiss German Villiger family to the Irish O’Dowd family & now to the Belgian Vandermarliere family. The families may have different nationalities but the passion for cigars runs deep through their veins.
