Stolen Throne Cigars is a Virginia-based boutique founded in 2018 by Lee Marsh and JR Cannon. The brand’s name and regal theming signal an irreverent “claim your seat” attitude, but production is grounded in a long-running partnership with the Rojas / Tabacalera New Order factory cluster in Estelí, Nicaragua—home base for blender and factory operator Noel Rojas.
Trade coverage and brand materials place core rolling at the Rojas factory, including regular-production releases such as Castle 919 (a personal nod to Marsh’s Baltimore childhood address). The relationship is often described by both sides as mutually beneficial: Stolen Throne gets Estelí craft capacity, while Rojas’s floor hosts another independent marque alongside projects tied to the wider Rojas Cigars and New Order of the Ages ecosystem.
On the map, Stolen Throne is a clear boutique–factory node: U.S. brand ownership, Nicaraguan manufacture, and a verifiable Estelí address rather than a vague “made in Nicaragua” label.
