  TAMPA, FL, Mar 24 (MARKET WIRE) -- 
CigarsDirect.com -- the leading online provider of premium and discount
cigars -- is further expanding its reach, market share and product
offerings with the acquisition of four popular online cigar store Web
sites.

    The newly acquired sites include:

    -- CigarSupply.com

    -- CigarsNStuff.com

    -- CapitalCigarSource.com

    -- CigarExperience.com

    "These acquisitions will further solidify our status as 'the place' to
buy cigars," said CigarsDirect.com Sales Manager Juan Panesso. "Each site
will benefit from our renowned customer service, and will play an
important role in helping us build and maintain the industry's leading
network of online cigar stores."

    Each of the acquired sites is well-established and has a history of
profitability. Mr. Panesso projects that the acquisitions announced today
will enable CigarsDirect.com and its parent company -- Cigars Direct, Inc.
-- to grow annual gross sales by at least 30 percent in 2009.

    CigarsDirect.com and its affiliated sites each offer a uniquely wide range
of popular cigar brands including Padron Cigars, Opus X Cigars and Arturo
Fuente Cigars. Padron is family run and one of the finest boutique cigar
manufacturers in Central America. Its limited-edition anniversary lines
are among the highest rated cigars. Opus X offers a super premium line of
cigars made from Dominican tobaccos. While they can be difficult to find
on many online cigar store sites, Opus X cigars are in ample supply at
CigarsDirect.com. The Arturo Fuente Cigar line includes a vast range of
sizes and price-points, from tiny cigarillos to the giant presidente.
CigarsDirect.com also has a large supply of cigar accessories, including
books, cases, cutters, lighters and humidors.
