"What if we tried our hands at a Cigar Company? Could we make something better?"
The Idea
It began, as most great things do, with a conversation between friends. In March 2024, amidst the rich aroma of well-aged tobacco, we—Caleb Doolittle and Matthew Redding—found ourselves asking what was missing from the American cigar market. The answer was right in our hands: a truly premium, hand-rolled cigar that celebrated honor, service, craftsmanship from seed to smoke.
That realization was the spark. It was the moment Bomber Jacket Cigar Company was born.
We aren't just creating another cigar; we are on a mission to build an American icon. Our passion is to craft the finest cigars in the United States, and we believe that combining this commitment to quality with your retail expertise creates a powerful partnership for the future.
The Team
A single spark of passion can start a fire, but it takes a dedicated team to build it into a lasting legacy. Bomber Jacket began as a shared dream for crafting America's Cigar, a vision born from friendship. The individuals below are the ones who stoke that fire, a team whose collective expertise and unwavering commitment are forging that dream into a reality.
