HoneyBee Cigars isn’t just a brand—it’s a story, a passion, and a tribute to the deep-rooted culture of premium cigars. From the moment I stepped into my father’s cigar shop as a young kid, I knew this world was where I belonged. Watching the mastery of cigar rollers, smelling the rich aroma of aged tobacco, and witnessing the unspoken camaraderie among cigar lovers—it all ignited a fire in me. I wasn’t just learning about cigars; I was absorbing a legacy.
That legacy became the heartbeat of HoneyBee Cigars, where tradition meets innovation. We’ve taken the humidor experience and transformed it into something bold, inclusive, and refreshingly modern. HoneyBee Cigars challenges the norm, just like I have my entire life.
I am Brianna Chiuchiolo, Owner and CEO of HoneyBee Cigars. A woman in a male-dominated industry, I was told I wouldn’t succeed, that I would drown, that this wasn’t my place. That doubt didn’t break me—it fueled me. Coming from a strong Italian family of powerful women & men, entrepreneurship is in my blood. We don’t wait for doors to open; we build them ourselves. My grandmother Lucille owned a liquor store—her strength and determination inspired me along side many other women in my life. We honor my B-MA with our Connecticut Shade cigar, "Queen Lucilla Edition." A guiding force in my life. These aren’t just names; they are stories. Every cigar we craft carries meaning, from the tobacco leaf to the name chosen, representing the strength, resilience, and legacy of those who came before me.
I didn’t follow a straight path to get here. I spent years searching for my place, trying everything from healthcare to sales to management. Despite excelling—being featured in SSA Magazine for my dedication and hard work—I still felt unfulfilled. I battled ADD, ADHD, diagnosed with an auditory processing disorder, constantly pushing through barriers that made traditional jobs feel like cages. Deep down, I knew I was meant for something different—something that blended creativity, storytelling, and raw passion. That realization led me here, building The Humidor Hive, a colony of like-minded people who refuse to be boxed in.
At HoneyBee Cigars, we are about more than just premium cigars—we are about people, connection, and belonging. Our mission is to create an experience that brings joy, nostalgia, relaxation, and escape. Whether you're a seasoned aficionado or new to cigars, you belong here. Queen Bee, Worker Bee, King, or Monarch—this Hive welcomes all.
You might be wondering, why the name HoneyBee Cigars? Simple. Bees pollinate, uplift, and sustain life. They are small but mighty, just like the power we each hold within us. Their honey represents sweetness, resilience, and balance. That’s exactly what we stand for—spreading love, kindness, and strength, one cigar at a time.
This isn’t just about business. This is about proving to myself—and to anyone who’s ever felt like they didn’t belong, like they weren’t enough, like they couldn’t make it—that they can. I’m doing this for the young girl who stayed up late studying countless hours because her brain worked differently. I’m doing this for the dreamers told they would fail. I’m doing this for the people grinding day after day, scared to take that leap.
Buzz beyond the norm. Dare to dream. Put love first. You may get stung, but every sting is a lesson, a rebirth, a step toward greatness 🐝
So, light up, take a breath, and remember: every time you touch your lips to a HoneyBee Cigar, you're smoking to sweet success.
