Broadway Cigar Company

What Broadway Cigar Company does

Broadway Cigar Company, doing business as Broadway Cigars, is a privately held independent cigar retailer and lounge operator headquartered in Portland, Oregon. The company runs two physical retail locations in the Portland metro area — at 3615 NE Broadway in Portland and 15561 Boones Ferry Rd in Lake Oswego — each combining a walk-in humidor with a dedicated cigar lounge featuring leather furniture, 50-inch televisions, free Wi-Fi, and complimentary beverages. Both lounges operate seven days a week, generally 10am–9pm, and function as a hybrid retail/community space for individual enjoyment, client meetings, and remote work. The product mix is curated premium cigars from manufacturers including Oliva, My Father, Foundation, Nub, Tabernacle, Undercrown, Montecristo, E.P. Carrillo, and Rasputin, with individual cigars priced $13.99–$24.99, multi-packs at $99–$150, and aged/limited-edition boxes at $199.99–$250.00 per box of 24.

The business operates a direct-to-consumer omnichannel model with a walk-in retail core supplemented by a Shopify-powered e-commerce storefront at broadwaycigar.com that ships individual cigars, boxes, multipacks, and digital gift cards. Revenue is generated primarily through one-time retail transactions, with gift cards adding a stored-value/recurring gifting component. The customer base is two-fold: (1) primary cigar enthusiasts seeking premium SKUs, expert selection guidance, and a lounge environment, and (2) secondary gift buyers purchasing for special occasions or corporate gifting. Marketing relies on organic social media (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram), an email newsletter, and recurring community events such as cigar dinners and multi-vendor deal events that drive foot traffic and repeat engagement. The company reports 11–50 employees, has no disclosed parent company or institutional investors, and does not publish financial results.
