Cigars on Consignment

Interview With Michael Denman

By Brian Weis

Q: Can You Provide Our Readers with a quick company overview of who we are and what we do?

A: Cigars on Consignment was created based around the single concept that golf courses shouldn't have to worry about what cigars they need to carry or worry about not being able to sell them before the season is over. Our revolutionary new process makes it simple and easy for any course to offer cigars, whether its their first time offering cigars or a service they have been offering for years. "Consignment", it says it all right there in our name. Our program makes it easy and simple for any golf course to provide cigars, without putting up any capital to provide a service every golf course should provide. Now a days golf courses are trying to save every penny possible just to stay open, and sometimes that means getting rid of offering cigars because offering cigars can sometimes seam like it brings on more of a risk than a reward. But with Cigars on Consignment those worries go away because when you use CigarsOC Cigar Management Program you don't purchase a singe thing. At the end of the season when you have 9 of each cigar left you don't have to worry about them staying fresh for next season because you send them back to us and we make sure they stay fresh. With our Cigar Management Program offering cigars is as easy as saying yes. After that we do the rest, we send you a package with your humidor, cigars, and everything else needed to get started. Sounds too good to be true, right? Well it isn't, our Cigar Management Program is being used right now by dozens of courses throughout Florida and Illinois.

Q: What if they don't have a tobacco license?
A: They are covered under our Illinois State Tobacco License.

Q: What is the start up cost?
A: Absolutely no cost to the course. The only time we charge the course is after they have made a sale.

Q: What if they have leftover cigars from a previous vendor?
A: As long as they are in good condition we will purchase them from the course so they can start their year off with only the best.

Q: What if they don't have a humidor?
A: We provide everything they would need to start selling cigars at absolutely no cost. (ex. Humidor, Cutters, Matches, Signage)

Q: What if they don't know what cigars they want in their course?
A: CigarsOC has a specifically designed algebraic equation that is designed to pick out the very best cigars for each and every course based on a list of different factors (ex. Greens Fees, Number of Holes, Private or Public)

Reasons why courses sell more with CigarsOC than any other company out there:
* Because we want to help courses sell, if they aren't selling then we aren't selling.

* We provide signage to help promote cigar sales so courses can worry about other things, like tee-times and making sure the fairways are cut properly.

* We also provide everything needed to hit the ground running. (ex. Humidor, Cigars, Cutters, Matches, and more)

* We also assign a designated CigarsOC representative for each course, who is there for them 24/7 to help them through anything.

About: Brian Weis

Brian Weis is the mastermind behind GolfTrips.com, a vast network of golf travel and directory sites covering everything from the rolling fairways of Wisconsin to the sunbaked desert layouts of Arizona. If there’s a golf destination worth visiting, chances are, Brian has written about it, played it, or at the very least, found a way to justify a "business trip" there.

As a card-carrying member of the Golf Writers Association of America (GWAA), International Network of Golf (ING), Golf Travel Writers of America (GTWA), International Golf Travel Writers Association (IGTWA), and The Society of Hickory Golfers (SoHG), Brian has the credentials to prove that talking about golf is his full-time job. In 2016, his peers even handed him The Shaheen Cup, a prestigious award in golf travel writing—essentially the Masters green jacket for guys who don’t hit the range but still know where the best 19th holes are.

Brian’s love for golf goes way back. As a kid, he competed in junior and high school golf, only to realize that his dreams of a college golf scholarship had about the same odds as a 30-handicap making a hole-in-one. Instead, he took the more practical route—working on the West Bend Country Club grounds crew to fund his University of Wisconsin education. Little did he know that mowing greens and fixing divots would one day lead to a career writing about the best courses on the planet.

In 2004, Brian turned his golf passion into a business, launching GolfWisconsin.com. Three years later, he expanded his vision, and GolfTrips.com was born—a one-stop shop for golf travel junkies looking for their next tee time. Today, his empire spans all 50 states, and 20+ international destinations.

On the course, Brian is a weekend warrior who oscillates between a 5 and 9 handicap, depending on how much he's been traveling (or how generous he’s feeling with his scorecard). His signature move" A high, soft fade that his playing partners affectionately (or not-so-affectionately) call "The Weis Slice." But when he catches one clean, his 300+ yard drives remind everyone that while he may write about golf for a living, he can still send a ball into the next zip code with the best of them.

Whether he’s hunting down the best public courses, digging up hidden gems, or simply outdriving his buddies, Brian Weis is living proof that golf is more than a game—it’s a way of life.
