About Us

 

ATL Cigar Company is committed to bringing people together around a shared premium cigar experience. With unique blends developed in partnership with leading tobacco farms and factories, we believe the country's greatest cigar city deserves its own line of great cigars.  

We are a diverse company with a shared passion for quality, a reflection of the city and cigar community we love.  Our vision is a connected Atlanta: connected with its history, toward its future, and to each other.

 

In these days of division, we want to be a force for uniting our city, and for spreading the soul and history of this city far and wide. ATL Cigar Company is for all of Atlanta: Old Atlanta with its rich tobacco tradition, New Atlanta and its music and media empire.  West Atlanta vibe meets East Atlanta highbrow.  White Atlanta, Black Atlanta and Latinx Atlanta.  ITP and OTP.  Bankhead and Buckhead. Those who've smoked everything and those who are lighting up for the first time.  No matter who you are, a great cigar is a reason to celebrate the ATL, and to connect to a part of our city you may not have encountered before.

Our three founders - Leroy Lamar, Janelle Lamar, and Peter Gross - bring a 20-year friendship (and for the Lamars, a 24-year marriage) to ATL Cigar Company, with roots serving the community through nonprofits, social enterprises, startups, and corporate logistics companies.  

Having launched in 2021, we are privileged to be carried in more than 200 premium tobacco stores nationwide, as well as Canada and Puerto Rico.  Our cigars have been featured in the Top 10 Cigars of the Year by Stogie Press and The Blaze Report, and we have been covered by major industry publications including Cigar Aficionado, Cigar Snob, Cigar Journal, Halfwheel, Tobacco Business, and many others.  We are proof that ATL is more than a city - it's an idea, shining far beyond our city limits.   

Thanks for visiting us, and welcome to the ATL Cigar Co family!
