Corona Cigar Company:

This is a beautiful story about one of the most courageous and dedicated people I have ever met, within the cigar industry or out.

Jeff B., as everyone calls him, created the Disneyland of Cigars in Orlando. Well, 3 of them actually, but this is just part of his majestic talent. Jeff B has treated all of us Manufacturers with respect and honesty - even helped guide most of us throughout our journey.

I consider him one of the most talented B&M retailers who have ever lived. And thats not BS.

There is no greater crusader in the cigar industry than Jeff Borysiewicz. He has fist hand made a lot of personal sacrifices to fight for our rights as cigar enthusiasts. His stores are first class everywhere from the selection of cigars to the customer service. Any of the stores are a "must" destination for cigar enthusiasts.

Love visiting all 3 stores; Sand Lake, Downtown (where this video was shot), and Heathrow which is now serving full liquor!

Went to the Downtown location with my father-in-law a few years back! Amazing store, amazing selection.

Discovered the Orlando store on a recent trip with my wife who was attending a medical conference. I made it my "base" during the days when she was in meeting. Great selection, good prices, and nice people. They even gave me some restaurant recommendations. Sat outside and enjoyed afternoon drink and good cigar with many friendly people. Brought home a few boxes and a great new lighter. Looking forward to returning!

All of the locations are amazing...great selection and atmosphere. The Sand Lake location is without question a Mans, Mans Cigar Lounge (no offense ladies) Great place to smoke great cigars and discuss the issues of the day with other like minded cigar smokers in an atmosphere of comradarie and relaxation. Awesome place. Nice Job Jeff B.

I'm very fortunate to live about 15 minutes from the Heathrow / Lake Mary location. It's an almost daily stop for me --after a long night of work, nothing feels better than to stop in for a good smoke. Tommy and the crew there are the best.

Huge thanks to Jeff, as always, for everything you do with Corona and the CRA.

I stopped in the Sand Lake store last week and I have to admit I wasn't as impressed as I thought I'd be. While the selection was top notch and the prices were ok, the lounge area didn't move me, and the staff made me feel like I was at a tourist trap.

After we left there we ended up at Downtown Disney and I went to the Fuego (by Sosa) bar and had a much better time. Certainly a much smaller selection, but the two guys that were there were much friendlier and we sat talking cigars the whole time.

While I appreciate everything Jeff has done for the industry, I think I'll stick to my smaller local spots (Corona is about an hour from me) and if I'm in that area I'll go to Fuego.

I came here a few months ago. Nice staff and great selection of cigars. This is my go to place when I am in Orlando

I agree with Bill Kolb. I and my brother spent a great afternoon at the Sand Lake store casually selecting a variety of cigars with the help of very intelligent staff. We then went outside and sat at the table in front and smoked a cigar in the open air. What a fantastic memory!

I stumbled upon Jeff's store on a trip to DisneyWorld 2 years ago. WOW! Amazing store, great staff, very helpful. And there is a Barnes & Noble a few doors down (main store) where my wife shops while I am in the cigar store.

I live in Canada, where we can get Cuban cigars but we pay outrageous tobacco taxes. Whenever I travel to the US (about twice a year), I order on-line or by phone from Corona and they ship them to the hotel I am staying at anywhere in the continental US. They are definately my source for non-Cuban cigars for the foreseeable future.

Coming back to Orlando Nov 10-17 and will have to check out the new store.

Was at the Sand Lake location last weekend. If you enjoy a good cigar this is the place. Going to the downtown location next time. Great place , great staff. I'll be back.
