The Nat Sherman cigar brands are back but Nat Sherman isn’t back. Michael Herklots and Brendon Scott—two former employees of the now-closed Nat Sherman International—have purchased the various brands from Altria. The pair are launching a new company Ferio Tego, LLC to sell those brands. The one name that isn’t included in the deal is Nat Sherman itself. Instead, Ferio Tego will sell brands like Timeless, Metropolitan, Epoca, Host and Ancora, the various brands that Herklots launched or made over during his nine years at Nat Sherman. Herklots was tasked with making over the company’s portfolio when it was still owned by the Sherman family and then leading the Nat Sherman brand after it was purchased by Altria, the tobacco company that owns the U.S. rights to Marlboro, in 2017.
