El Maniel International Inc (EMLL)

El Maniel International, Inc. was incorporated in July 2007 in the State of Nevada. El Maniel International, Inc. and El Maniel Cigar Company are creating a new premium brand of cigar. The Company plans to manufacture and distribute cigars under the PLC brand name. Beginning in early 2007, its founders sought to create a cigar that would appeal to aficionados of high quality, hand-rolled, premium cigars. Premium cigars are generally defined as cigars that are hand-made from high quality, natural leaf binder, long-filler and wrapper tobaccos. The main elements that determine the quality of the cigar are the quality of the tobacco, the curing and aging process and the skill of the hand-roller. It plans to purchase cigars from one of the oldest and most reputable cigar manufacturer' in Santo Domingo the Dominican Republic. The Company has selected ABAM, S.A. as the sole provider of cigars. ABAM would produce PLC Cigars rolled with tobacco grown in the great Cibao Valley, the place where the best tobacco in the Dominican Republic is grown. It has made an initial test sale in the premium corporate gift market in Macau and based on reception of its initial concept and customer feedback the Company is making plans to produce, launch and market its first product offerings. Its first cigar would be a torpedo-style (52 cm x 5 cm) premium leaf product made in the Dominican Republic. The first product line, PLC Cigars, would be a distinctive red, 25-cigar box that could be customized to become a uniquely personal business client, meeting or special occasion gift. Target markets include corporate/client gifts for the financial community and meeting/event gifts for male-oriented industries such as technology and manufacturing. Competitors include Consolidated Cigar Holdings Inc., General Cigar Co. Inc., a division of Culbro Corporation, and Swisher International Group Inc.
