Robbie is a longtime cigar apasionado, originally entering the tobacco industry when he founded the CigaRobbie Radio Show. The show was broadcast from 1340 WTAM in Tampa, FL but grew to include five other states during its run, and featured industry personalities and cigar related content. Subsequently, he successfully held the National Sales Manager position with Esteban Carreras which led AJ Fernandez Cigars to take notice of him and offer the current position.

Fernandez Cigars to the next level as we are hard at work putting together the kind of staff that that will focus on customer satisfaction. We believe that Robbie Streitz possess the passion, experience, and dedication to push A.J. Fernandez forward.”
Robbie said: “I am honored to have received this opportunity and look forward as the national sales manager for A.J. Fernandez to building a culture of positive growth by implementing new standards of business. I was the hard working blue collar guy that would hang out in a cigar lounge with my buddies; to work in this industry is a dream for a guy like me. I love my clients and always try to build a better relationship with them through, truth, respect and professionalism. I hope one day I am looked upon as a man that helped this industry.”
