A New Cigar is Born

Carolina Blue Cigars was founded in April 2016 by Christopher Moore, a 30-year U.S. Army veteran whose passion for tobacco started long before his military service. Growing his love for cigars in Havelock, North Carolina. A town known for its rich history in tobacco farming Christopher spent his childhood summers working in the tobacco fields when visiting his family. This Queens, New York native had no idea that those early hands-on experiences would give him a deep respect for the craft and culture of tobacco, planting the seeds for what would become a lifelong journey.

Today, that journey lives through Carolina Blue Cigars, a brand rooted in tradition but built with vision. Christopher works closely with Tabacalera El Puente in the Dominican Republic one of the top growers and manufacturers in the industry. Known for its deep collaborative history with Davidoff Cigars, the factory brings world-class expertise to every Carolina Blue blend. The company also produces cigars in Nicaragua, using high-quality tobaccos from regions like Estelí, Jalapa, and Ometepe to create cigars that are bold, flavorful, and truly unforgettable.

What sets Carolina Blue apart is Christopher’s relentless commitment to the craft. He’s not just a name on the label he’s on the ground, in the factory, involved in every step of the process. From selecting the tobacco leaves to blending, rolling, and aging, his hands-on approach ensures every cigar is made with intention and care. Each cigar is created with a specific profile in mind, no shortcuts, every production of blends are prepared with care and high standards. As Christopher says, “With every Carolina Blue Cigar lit, a new story unfolds.”

He is deeply entrenched in the cigar industry, always looking to evolve and refine his blends. Whether you’re lighting up your first cigar or your thousandth, Christopher promises a true experience from shoulder to the foot with flavor, complexity, and craftsmanship in every draw. His meticulous attention to detail is the fire that fuels each blend created. That passion is what makes every Carolina Blue cigar a unique journey.
