Hamptons Cigar Manufactory & Museum has announced the launch of The Commish Corona, a handcrafted premium cigar that pays homage to the men and women who serve their communities with honor, integrity, and unwavering dedication. Available now for Retail, Wholesale, and Private Label orders, The Commish Corona is the newest addition to the award-winning Commish line — a cigar born of authority and crafted to be smoked with it.
A Cigar Inspired by Those Who Serve
The Commish Corona draws its name and spirit from the countless local commissioners across every principality of the United States — elected and appointed officials who quietly and faithfully serve their neighborhoods, counties, and communities every day. These are the unsung pillars of American civic life: zoning boards, parks commissions, utility districts, and county councils — leaders who show up without fanfare and leave lasting legacies of honest public service.
The Commissioner of Excellence seal that adorns every band is not merely decorative. It is a declaration a recognition of the standard these public servants set and the authority they carry into every room they enter.
“Smoke With Authority” is more than a tagline. It is an invitation to honor that spirit with every draw.
Dedicated to NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell
The Commish Corona carries a deeply personal dedication. The cigar is proudly dedicated to Roger Goodell, Commissioner of the National Football League, and to his wife, Jane Skinner Goodell, journalist and former Fox News anchor.
Jane Skinner was a classmate and fellow student of Lak Vohra, founder of Hamptons Cigar Manufactory & Museum, at the prestigious Medill School of Journalism at Northwestern University in Evanston, Illinois, during the 1989-90 academic year. It was there that Lak Vohra earned his Master of Science in Journalism — awarded on a Rotary Foundation Peace Scholarship, a distinction reserved for scholars of exceptional merit and global vision.
The Commish Corona is a tribute to those shared roots and to the remarkable paths that have followed.
The Commish Corona is expressed in a (6 x 42) corona vitola with a blend described as:
- Wrapper: Connecticut Shade
- Binder/Filler: Dominican & Pennsylvania
Lak Vohra notes:
“The Connecticut Shade wrapper lends The Commish Corona a silky, pale golden appearance and a smooth, approachable profile — creamy and refined with a mild-to-medium body that suits both the seasoned aficionado and the discerning newcomer.“
The company notes that The Commish Corona is available for Retail, Wholesale & Private Label. It is available in individual cigars, 5-packs, and boxes. Businesses, organizations, and event planners interested in Private Label editions — custom-branded cigars bearing your name, logo, or occasion — are encouraged to reach out directly. Whether for a gift shop, a country club, a corporate event, or a political campaign, The Commish Corona carries the authority of the occasion.
Celebrating a Life in Global Journalism
Lak Vohra’s journey from the Medill classrooms of Northwestern University to the founding of Hamptons Cigar Manufactory & Museum is one of extraordinary range. Following his graduation in 1990, Vohra pursued a rich and varied international career as a print journalist — filing stories across India and the United States, covering politics, culture, society, and the evolving world of the late 20th century.
That journalistic eye for detail, for narrative, and for the story behind the story is embedded in every cigar that bears the Hamptons name. Just as great journalism demands precision, patience, and craft, so does the art of rolling a premium cigar.
