What corona cigar company does

Corona Cigar Co. is a privately held, US-based omnichannel cigar retailer headquartered in Central Florida, operating the coronacigar.com e-commerce platform alongside five physical superstores and cigar bars in the region. The company's core offering consists of premium hand-rolled cigars sourced from international manufacturers including Padron, Davidoff, Drew Estate, Arturo Fuente, Montecristo, Cohiba, Rocky Patel, and My Father, with an inventory exceeding 2 million cigars across hundreds of brands. Corona Cigar Co. is also the exclusive grower of FSG (Florida Sun Grown) tobacco through a partnership with Drew Estate, producing proprietary sub-brands including Army of Angel's, Black Angus FSG, and Corona Intensa, plus a Corona Exclusives line of limited-edition releases from third-party makers such as Montecristo, Plasencia, and Atabey.

The business operates three primary revenue streams: one-time retail sales of cigars, humidors, accessories, and pipe tobacco through e-commerce and physical stores; recurring subscription revenue from two Cigars of the Month Club tiers priced at $44.95 and $69.95 per month; and sale of branded merchandise and gift cards. Distribution leverages climate-controlled warehouses with same-day or next-business-day shipping, free shipping above $100, price matching, and an industry-recognized brand presence (Forbes 'Best of the Web' and Cigar Aficionado recognition). The company also participates in industry advocacy as a founding sponsor of Cigar Rights of America and board member of the IPCPR.

Corona Cigar Co. is founder-led by Jeff Borysiewicz (President & Founder), with no disclosed external investors, venture capital, or acquisition activity. The company claims American ownership, serves exclusively adult (21+) consumers through both enthusiast and gift-giving use cases, and operates without a mobile app, AI-driven features, or disclosed public-facing APIs, relying instead on a traditional retail plus BigCommerce-powered e-commerce model.
