How status works
Every order counts. Your purchases add up over any 12 months, and you move up the moment they reach a tier: $5k earns Bronze, $50k earns Platinum. The cigars you pick are yours, the status is the bonus.
Discount, monthly box exchanges, consulting, free product, rare access - locked in for one full year regardless of how much you order during the period.
Hit your tier's average monthly spend over the year and you renew at the same level. Hit a higher tier's threshold and you climb. Fall short and you settle to a lower tier next year.

“Status was never about gating service. Every account gets the same answers, the same humidor checks, the same care. The tiers are about reciprocity - the more committed you are to building a serious cigar program, the more we invest back into yours.”
Common questions
Shop the catalog. Every order adds to your 12-month total, so you can reach a tier in one order or over several. We'll talk about your venue and your goals and recommend the tier that fits. No surprise minimums.
A year on Bronze is twelve months of locked-in monthly box exchanges and free product. A year on Platinum is the same plus a 3% discount on every future order - for a venue averaging $5k a month, that's $1,800 back into your margin a year, before perks.
P.S. Your 12-month status starts the day your purchases reach the tier, and the free product for that tier ships with the order that gets you there.
