Founders Cigar Co. began with a small group of friends who started meeting weekly for bonfires and cigars in the early days of the 2020 pandemic. At a time when the rest of the world was shut down, cigars served as a connection. Founders was created to empower others toward the same, drawing on the rich history of the American experience to deliver timeless smokes with the distinctive profiles that fuel conversation, inspire friendship, and build community. Our cigars seek to embody the immutable characteristics of the men and women who made America the great nation she is today. Crafted from the finest tobacco, each stick reflects a unique part of the American identity. By honoring the rich diversity of America's founding personalities, we hope to bring friends and strangers together for great smokes that hearken to a free people marked by common destiny. E pluribus unum!
