Cigars International Tech Stack
Direct marketer and retailer of premium handmade cigars and accessories
Cigars International operates a multi-channel cigar retail business—online, catalogue, and physical stores—selling to 885,000 US consumers across 90+ brands. The company's tech stack reveals a heavy security and compliance posture (Fortinet, Zscaler, Microsoft Defender XDR, Snyk, Checkmarx) paired with Microsoft enterprise infrastructure, suggesting a business scaling operational complexity while managing regulatory risk in a heavily licensed industry. Current hiring is ops-focused (17 of 30 roles), with a network modernization initiative underway to migrate legacy perimeter security to zero-trust architectures.
