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!
***LOVE BUILT***
