Cigar Ambassador announced today the release of their introductory brand, “Tobacco Queen”. Cigar Ambassador has a two-decade trajectory. Established in 2005, the company has made its name in the international market, as a grower of premium tobacco, international cigar magazine publisher, cigar distributor and operator of high-end cigar lounges. Their first ever cigar brand pays homage to Queen Isabella and dedicated to Lily Wang AKA “The Tobacco Queen”.
Queen Isabella and King Ferdinand, the first monarchs of Spain financed Christopher Columbus’ expedition which would lead to the discovery of the new world. On this fateful trip Columbus landed in what is now known as the Bahamas. The natives introduced him to these strange dried-up leaves, we now know as tobacco. Lily Wang like Queen Isabella, is a forward-thinking woman with a sharp vision. Lily broke into the tobacco industry against all odds.

Ausman Soriano Wang, Director of Cigar Ambassador North America stated: “My mother Lily Wang is an inspiration to me. Born in China she was an unlikely candidate to do what she has accomplished in the cigar industry. In 2005 she left her career in finance and along with her business partner Edward Jin, created a cigar magazine, cigar lounges, and cultivated a farm in the Dominican Republic which is now the largest producer of premium tobacco to the Asian market. This cigar, which is our first blend is my gift to her in recognition of these amazing achievements.”
The Tobacco Queen brand is unique as each vitola has a slightly different blend. The blends were created at the Cigar Ambassador cigar factory in Tamboril, Santiago, Dominican Republic.
