We started this because we couldn't find what we wanted to smoke.

We have always enjoyed cigars with our close friends. The increased prices of late and fancy marketing have long been an itch we couldn't scratch — so we started rolling our own. Turns out our friends liked them. Turns out our friends' friends liked them. And here we are.

Every Blue Collar Tobacco cigar is hand-rolled by people who actually smoke cigars. No mystery factories. No middlemen. No “luxury experience” nonsense. We pick the leaves, we roll the sticks, we light them up on our porches to make sure they're worth selling. If we wouldn't smoke it ourselves, we don't ship it.

We're based in Rochester, New York — proud of the working hour you actually earned, the close friends you actually keep, and the cigar you actually finish.
