About us

From a Backyard Hobby to a "Small but Mighty" Movement

In January 2020, Smoke-Dogg cigars wasn't a business—it was only the StickMen Podcast, which was just a guy with a hobby and a passion for the leaf. He had no roadmap and certainly no clue that those early sessions would evolve into a tech-driven industry disruptor.

Once things began to trend down with Covid, Reggie officially stepped into the media space in January 2021, as the StickMen podcast. But it was quickly realized that the culture was bigger than just "the guys." Out of love and respect for the Sisters of the Leaf (SOTL)—the fastest-growing demographic in the community—he pivoted to Puff, Sip, Chat.

Today, Puff, Sip, Chat remains our "small but mighty" marketing engine. It’s where the real conversations happen, and it’s the heartbeat behind everything we do at Smoke-Dogg.com.

Two Paths, One Mission

In 2021, a fan of the show named Steve Robinson reached out. Steve was building a startup cigar subscription service and saw the vision. We quickly realized we shared more than just a love for tobacco; our personal and professional backgrounds were a mirror image of one another. We joined forces, and we haven’t looked back since.

Community in Motion: Puff, Sip, Golf

We believe the cigar lifestyle is about connection. In 2022, we launched the first annual Puff, Sip, Golf Scramble at Rogers Park in Tampa, FL. What started as a way to meet our listeners has become an annual staple, blending the greens with the gold of a premium cigar.

Coming Home to the Capital

In 2023, we moved our base of operations from Atlanta, GA, back to Tampa, FL—the Cigar Capital of the world and Reggie’s hometown. And for a little, the Puff, Sip, Chat slowed down while Reggie took an opportunity to live and work in Riyadh, KSA, but the work didn't stop. For nearly two years, Steve and Reggie worked diligently behind the scenes, architecting a new way to serve the community. The result is Smoke-Dogg.com.

The Future: Tech-Backed & Community-Driven

We aren't just another cigar shop. We are Brokers, Distributors, and Retailers backed by proprietary technology. We’ve built Smoke-Dogg.com to be a disruptive force—bringing efficiency to the industry while keeping the "small-batch" soul of the podcast alive.

  • Inclusive Culture: Dedicated to all Brothers and Sisters of the Leaf alike.

  • Powered by the Podcast: Every product we move is backed by the authentic conversations of Puff, Sip, Chat.

We’ve come a long way since 2020. Welcome to the family.
