This year, we have been on a journey of establishing Cigar Coop as a standalone brand and a standalone business. If you have been reading this monthly column, you know I’ve been chronicling this journey and taking you for a ride in the “Pink Cadillac”. This month, I’ll share some thoughts on how this ties in with our IPCPR coverage. The […]
It’s been an exciting and interesting journey for Cigar Coop in 2017 and the month of May was no exception. This year, the Cigar Coop became its own independent entity.

2017 has simply been a major year of change at Cigar Coop – and I could not be more excited. This year, we reverted Cigar Coop back to an independent company. We were once before, but we also weren’t a revenue business at that time either. With that has come all of the changes needed to do […]
The changes continue here at Cigar Coop and I’m very excited about them. I’ll preface this by saying – this is not an April Fools Joke.

However, even it was completed, I’m not sure today’s topic would have been bumped from the Editor’s Corner – namely the topic of Rudy Giuliani and […]
Since the inception of Cigar Coop in 2010, December 1st has marked the start of our annual Cigar of the Year Countdown – basically a month long retrospective counting down the 30 best cigars for the year. It’s December 1st 2016, and today you will not see the Countdown starting. This year, the Countdown is […]
With Donald J. Trump set to become the 45th President of the United States in January 2017, there has been renewed optimism by the cigar community in terms of the industry’s battle against the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). As many know, the battle is centered on fighting the new Deeming Regulations the FDA has […]
This month we conclude the Cigar Coop Cigar Year. It officially comes to a close on Thanksgiving November 24, 2016. In December, we bring you the original Cigar of the Year countdown for the seventh consecutive year on Cigar Coop. It’s been the most tumultuous year in the history of the cigar business and […]
