De Gracia & Estevez Cigars and WRB Group Announce Partnership
Cedar Park, TX – May 21, 2025 — De Gracia & Estevez Cigars, a boutique purveyor of premium Dominican cigars, proudly announces a strategic partnership with WRB Group Universal to re-launch WRB Cigars and expand white label and private label production opportunities under a new commercial agreement.
The partnership designates De Gracia & Estevez Cigar Trading as the exclusive manufacturing partner for WRB Group’s cigar division. As part of this collaboration, the iconic WRB Cigars brand—now a part of WRB Group Universal—will return to market with a revitalized product line rooted in the artisanal quality and tradition of De Gracia & Estevez’s award-winning blends.
“This partnership is about combining WRB Group’s dynamic market presence with our heritage of cigar craftsmanship,” said Miguel De Gracia, CEO and Managing Partner of De Gracia & Estevez Cigars. “We’re honored to be the foundation for the relaunch of WRB Cigars and excited to bring their brand vision to life with exceptional cigars.”
The agreement includes the production of both “White Label” cigars—premium blends from DG&E’s existing portfolio, rebranded for WRB—as well as exclusive “Private Label” blends developed specifically for WRB Group’s clientele.
WRB Group Universal is led by Walter Briggs, Principal and former quarterback for the New York Jets, whose post-football career has focused on brand development and high-end lifestyle ventures.
“The relaunch of WRB Cigars is deeply personal and strategically timed,” said Briggs. “Partnering with De Gracia & Estevez means our cigars will not only reflect tradition and elegance, but also exceed the expectations of a new generation of cigar connoisseurs.”
The partnership also enables WRB Group to access a suite of optional services provided by DG&E, including cigar branding and design, packaging solutions, logistics support, and retail compliance consulting.
