My Cigar Pack Ownership Change: What Happened, Explained
My Cigar Pack Ownership Change: What Happened, Explained
My Cigar Pack, the cigar subscription box service, changed hands in July 2026 when founder Alexander Berezowski sold his ownership stake after more than six years running the company. Here's what actually changed, what didn't, and what it means if you're a current or prospective subscriber.
The short answer
If you're subscribed to My Cigar Pack, nothing changes for you right now. The company has stated this is an ownership-only transition — the existing leadership team stays in place, and day-to-day operations, customer service, and supplier relationships continue as they were. The change is about who owns the business, not how it's run.
What happened
Berezowski, who founded and ran My Cigar Pack for more than six years, sold his stake to a longtime business partner. Neither party disclosed the buyer's name or the deal's financial terms publicly. Berezowski described the move as a planned transition rather than an abrupt exit, and said he wanted to focus his energy on Tobacco Tactical, a separate cigar brand where he's a partner, with an emphasis on growing its retail footprint.
What a subscription box actually sells
For anyone unfamiliar with the format: a cigar-of-the-month subscription like My Cigar Pack curates and ships a recurring box of cigars — typically a mix of brands and sizes chosen by the company rather than the subscriber — for a flat monthly or per-shipment fee. The appeal is discovery (trying cigars you wouldn't otherwise pick up) without doing the research yourself. Ownership changes at this scale usually don't affect that core mechanic; what could change over time is curation style or supplier relationships if new ownership eventually shifts strategy, though nothing like that has been announced here.
Should current subscribers be concerned?
Not based on what's been announced. Ownership transitions where the operating team and stated policies stay in place are common in small direct-to-consumer businesses and don't typically disrupt the subscriber experience in the short term. The bigger signal to watch for isn't this announcement — it's whether curation, pricing, or shipping cadence noticeably changes over the following few billing cycles, which would suggest the new ownership is steering the business differently than before.

Conclusion
This is a low-drama ownership change: a founder cashing out to a familiar partner while the operating team and subscriber experience stay put. If you're already a My Cigar Pack subscriber, the practical advice is simple — watch your next couple of shipments for any change in curation or value, rather than worrying about the headline itself.
