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. In addition to being #rumorfree and #teaserfree, we are #aprilfoolsfree (I know, we are no fun!) This past month, announced the Cigar Coop Prime Time Podcast, a podcast that will […]
In my seven years in operation at Cigar Coop, the past 30 days have been perhaps the wildest ever.

Seven consecutive years and another Cigar Coop Countdown is in the annals of history. The Countdown Concept began on Cigar Coop back in 2010, our first year in operation.

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 […]
