Ausman Soriano Wang is the son of Cigar Ambassador founder Lily Wang. Born in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, he returned to Shanghai with his family at a young age before moving to the United States at the age of fourteen.

 

He earned his bachelor's degree in Political Science from New York University and his master's degree in Nonprofit Management from Columbia University. After graduation, he briefly worked in consulting before joining the family business, bringing with him an international perspective shaped by living and studying across three countries.

 

Today, Ausman leads Cigar Ambassador's operations in the United States, where he oversees brand development, retail partnerships, business strategy, and market expansion. Working closely with the company's factories, tobacco estates, and global partners, he is focused on introducing Cigar Ambassador and Tobacco Queen to a new generation of premium cigar enthusiasts while strengthening the company's presence in North America.

 

Believing that premium cigars represent far more than a luxury product, Ausman is passionate about preserving the culture, craftsmanship, and traditions behind handmade cigars. Through Cigar Ambassador's growing network of factories, tobacco fields, cigar lounges, and educational initiatives, he is committed to sharing the stories behind every cigar—from seed to smoke—with enthusiasts around the world.
