RESULTS

Tabacalera manages a portfolio of iconic, historic brands that are very different from one another. From Habanos such as Cohiba, Montecristo, Partagás and Romeo y Julieta, with decades of legacy and well-established codes, to international brands such as VegaFina, Flor de Copán and Don Diego, each with its own territory and growth ambitions. The challenge was clear: evolve each brand without losing what makes it recognizable, combining tradition and innovation, global consistency and local relevance. More than communicating product, Tabacalera needed to build solid, differentiated brand universes capable of growing, supporting both established brands and new launches, formats and special editions.

For more than two decades, Newlink has worked alongside Tabacalera as a strategic, creative and brand partner, at the corporate, portfolio and product level. Our work ranges from defining positionings, identities and narratives to bringing them to life in campaigns, packaging, content, experiences and communication tools for different markets. We have supported both the evolution of Tabacalera as a brand and the launch, repositioning and modernization of historic and international brands, as well as the development of new products, limited editions and special projects. VegaFina is one of the best examples: we have shaped its evolution practically from its origins, renewing its identity, portfolio, packaging and communication. Today it is the best-selling non-Cuban cigar brand in the world and No. 1 in Spain in sales and brand recognition. A partnership built to connect heritage, creativity and business.

More than two decades building, protecting and evolving some of the most emblematic brands in the premium category. What we achieved: Evolved a portfolio of international premium brands, preserving their heritage and adapting it to new markets and generations. Built differentiated identities and territories, keeping each brand’s personality within a very diverse portfolio. Supported international expansion, developing brand and communication systems ready for different markets. Turned product innovation into brand value, through new formats, special editions and collections. Drove the growth of VegaFina, today the best-selling non-Cuban cigar brand in the world and No. 1 in Spain.
