The Stokes name originated more than 60 years ago on a Kentucky plantation in the USA. My great-grandfather owned tobacco fields; producing both the leaves for consumption and selling hybrid seeds specially-developed by theUniversity of Kentucky. The company “Stokes & Sons” filled barns with the fresh tobacco leaves, leaving the sweet-smelling aroma of drying tobacco to fill the air in the surrounding fields.
This familial commitment to quality tobacco products has survived and carried through the generations. It was right around the turn of the century (the most recent one, that is) that Stokes Cigar Club originally became a growing idea in the head of * grandson, James. He and a group of friends at the University of Oklahoma had a practice of pitching in a few dollars to help defray the costs of a premium, hand-made box of cigars. They really enjoyed relaxing and smoking cigars together as they planned their next big move in life. In this manner, everyone could try new and different cigars for a great price, and it gave us even more reason to get together!
Our club has since evolved into the website you see today, with customers in nearly every state in the Union, as well as Europe, Asia, and South America . We are committed to providing our customers with the same great value and quality cigars that our small group began enjoying. We have built a community that will allow cigar smokers to provide feedback and share helpful tips all over the world.
In short, we continue to strive to offer new products and accessories that we think add value and enjoyment to our customers’ lives. I’m sure you’ll agree with us: the enjoyment of cigars is just another way to live life to the fullest.
