The Beggining
In 2001, “El Gato Gordo” emerged as a handicraft sales business. Located in a part known as “Viejo Vallarta”, in the downtown of the city.
From the beginning, El Gato Gordo was characterized by having a series of totally different merchandise from the most businesses of the same line of business. For this reason there was an influx of tourists with a different profile in terms of tastes and purchasing power.
Consolidation
By 2005 the business had been completely transformed and “El Gato Gordo Cigar Shop” was born, with a medium-sized Humidor, approximately 4 square meters, and a small selection of cigars, approximately 12 or 15 vitolas and some Mexican cigars.
Over time the selection of Habanos and Cigars grew, but the years 2008 and 2009 were crucial for the development of this business as the global economic crisis reduced direct competition.
Despite being a difficult season for everyone, this commercial establishment survived and not only that, but it was strengthened in the following years, to the point of being recognized by the Cuban company Habanos S.A. with the degree of tobacco shop “Habanos Point” being officially endorsed as a certified place for the purchase of authentic Habanos.
