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
