Eric Brewington & Nick Jones began with a small group of friends who started meeting weekly for bonfires and cigars in the early days of the 2020 pandemic. At a time when the rest of the world was shut down, cigars served as a surprising catalyst for connection.

The Afterburner Cigar Lounge is located in a 1940 Quonset Hut. The lounge was created to empower others, drawing on the rich history of the American experience of delivering timeless smokes with distinctive profiles that fuel conversation, inspire friendship, and build community.  This is where comradery and connection make you feel at home with family.
