Our story

Good Smoke is more than an establishment but a brand; who’s foundation is built on a space promoting variety in all aspects of life.  Our profit focus is from cigars, exquisite cocktails, and art! We also dibble & dabble in unique fashion, & an array of tools for the moderate to experienced cigar smoker.

 

Good Smoke the business is the brainchild of two men who were brought together by their families.  Both; at the time; girl dads of daughters with hoop dreams.  Initial conversations about strategy & effort, metamorphosed into conversations about wives & home life.  Discovering a mutual love for cigars and the meditation they provided.  They found a spot where they could talk about everything from basketball, to music, to stocks, to wives.  Both men from bigger cities but found their way to Charlotte & Fort Mill to nurture their families.

 

During outings to different cigar spots they noticed areas that establishments excelled & lacked.  One man’s background in corporate America & IT; the other in service they felt they could make the perfect “cigar bar”!

 

***ESSENTIALLY BORN***

 

Agreeing to unite to start a “cigar bar” the business plan was like no other.  We spoke less about margins and more about standards.  Standards of service, product, & atmosphere.  We used a home as our symbol of priorities.  The foundation is our service.  Providing a welcoming space for every type of human, being knowledgeable about our products, and fluid about our visitors’ concerns; is what we stand on! The roof is our products; cigars, cocktails, art, lighters & such, and apparel! The walls encompass our vision of what a “cigar bar” should be.  Clean, welcoming, social reality, the arts, & of course sports!
