In 1776, Colonel Stogie's great, great grandfather smoked his first cigar following a major battlefield victory. From that day forward, a descendant of Colonel Stogie has served America and smoked 6 cigars a day. At the ripe old age of 18, the Colonel himself took up the habit, but he needed a way to protect his cigars while rapidly deploying them throughout the day. His "a-ha" moment came to him one fateful day. In the heat of battle and surrounded on all sides by non-smokers, Colonel Stogie pulled a fresh mag from his plate carrier. That's when it happened. It dawned on him, "This is the perfect place to store my cigars for easy access!". He survived the skirmish, and within a week, he'd started work on his first Stogie Mag prototype. A year later, he's finally ready to share his crowning achievement with you, his loyal recruits.
