About Us

Origins of the Cigar Caucus

It began a decade ago on porches and patios—just good cigars and good conversation. Politics brought us together, but once the cigars were lit, labels faded and friendships formed.

When COVID hit, we moved to Zoom—and instead of shrinking, we grew. Today, the Cigar Caucus spans from New Hampshire to Florida, still grounded in humor, respect, and real conversation.

In a divided time, it’s proof that civil discourse isn’t gone—it’s just enjoying a good cigar.
