Why CedarMark Exists
Cigars are shared at the moments that matter most. The deal that finally closed. The promotion that took years to earn. The retirement after four decades of work. The birth of a first child. These moments already have a ritual — the cigar is part of it.
But the cigar disappears. It's lit, enjoyed, and gone. The ash stays in the tray. Nothing remains of what it marked. Angela Riley founded CedarMark in 2026 to solve that.
The Concept
Every CedarMark cigar is part of a numbered, limited edition series. Each cigar receives a trademarked band with its serial number — making it uniquely identifiable among every other cigar ever produced. A QR code on the band links directly to a Certificate of Authenticity that can be verified by anyone, anywhere, at any time.
Owners register their cigars online. Their name is permanently recorded in the registry. When the cigar is gifted, the recipient scans the QR code and sees the edition, the number in series, and the full chain of provenance. The certificate is permanent. The moment is documented.
Who It's For
Corporations and institutions use CedarMark to commission custom editions — a numbered series produced for a firm's 25th anniversary, distributed to clients and partners. Each recipient receives something with verifiable provenance, not a commodity gift.
Luxury enthusiasts and collectors use CedarMark to build a documented collection — cigars that can be appraised, gifted, and authenticated. Limited editions create genuine scarcity. The registry creates genuine history.
CedarMark sits at the intersection of premium gifting, collectibles, and ceremony. It is not a cigar company. It is an authentication platform for moments that deserve to be kept.
