According to Hans Rijfkogel, Director at Asia Marketing Services, Agio Cigars introduces new Panter Filter Red and Panter Filter Desert packs. 

The Panter name was introduced in 1935. The Sumatra cigar factory chose the name because the animal reflected the company’s image. Panter is strong and flexible, a sprinter that can take great leaps.

Nowadays the Panter brand stands for an easy to smoke, contemporary small cigar and Agio Cigars offers a wide range of Panter products. Building on the successful range, Agio Cigars recently introduced a new type of packaging. The successful filter versions, Panter Filter Red (vanilla flavour) and Panter Filter Desert (coffee flavour) are now available in a 14-cigarillo shell and slide pack. 

“This pack has several advantages in comparison to the traditional tins”, Hans Rijfkogel said. “The pack has a convenient size, which is easy to keep in your pocket. With today’s tobacco regulations this pack is easier to handle when labeling products with health warnings and tax stamps. It also offers a more competitive out of pocket retail price in comparison to a 20-pack”
