Keep Your Accusations. We’ll Keep Advancing the Kingdom

This blog post addresses accusations that Patriarch Cigar Co. is using Christianity as a marketing tool to profit. The post defends the company's mission, explaining that while they sell cigars, the ultimate goal is to grow the Kingdom of God. The cigars are seen not as the treasure, but as a tool to foster deeper conversations about faith, masculinity, fatherhood, and legacy, ultimately glorifying God. Patriarch Cigar Co. emphasizes that their approach is about creating a culture of faithful, joyful men who aren't afraid to integrate their faith into all aspects of life, including the enjoyment of cigars.

The Ceremony of Cigars: Ordo Fumandi

The Ceremony of Cigars: Ordo Fumandi

This blog explores the ceremonial and ritualistic nature of cigar smoking, drawing parallels to the intentional, ordered worship found in Reformed Christian liturgy. Just as worship follows a God-given structure—call to worship, confession, assurance, Word, sacrament, and benediction—so too does the act of smoking a cigar involve deliberate steps: selecting the cigar, cutting, lighting, and smoking with care.

While cigar smoking isn't sacred in itself, its ritual elements reflect a deeper truth: that all of life, even moments of leisure, can be lived coram Deo—before the face of God. The blog encourages readers to enjoy cigars not as a form of escape, but as an act of reflection, gratitude, and even fellowship, pointing to the greater joy and order found in Christ.
Supper, Sips, and Stogies

Supper, Sips, and Stogies

Engaging in discussions about the permissibility of Christians smoking cigars and drinking whiskey can be challenging, especially when faced with concerns from friends and church acquaintances. Many critics, often from a Pentecostal background, unintentionally adopt a quasi-gnostic view that dismisses earthly pleasures as inherently sinful. However, Scripture affirms that food, drink, and other blessings are gifts from God meant to be enjoyed with gratitude and self-control (Ecclesiastes 3:13, Psalm 104:14-15). While excess and addiction are sinful, responsible enjoyment fosters appreciation for God’s common grace. At Patriarch Cigar Co., we embrace craftsmanship, tradition, and fellowship, aiming to restore thoughtful conversation and community, ultimately drawing people closer to each other and to God.

Biblical Masculinity, Patriarchy, and the Quiet Reflection of Cigars

This article explores the concept of biblical masculinity and patriarchy, emphasizing that true leadership, as outlined in Scripture, involves sacrificial, loving guidance rather than domineering control. It also touches on how cigars, as a symbol of tradition, can provide space for reflection and camaraderie among men, fostering a deeper understanding of their roles and responsibilities. Ultimately, the piece suggests that both biblical masculinity and the rituals tied to it call men to lead with integrity, humility, and purpose.
The Beginner's Guide to Smoking Cigars

The Beginner's Guide to Smoking Cigars

Cigar smoking is a timeless tradition that offers relaxation and rich flavors. This guide helps beginners understand cigar sizes, components, and how to select a quality. Proper cutting with the right tool ensures a good draw, while lighting with a butane or torch lighter creates an even burn. Smoking should be slow and steady, savoring the flavors without inhaling. Pairing cigars with drinks like whiskey or coffee enhances the experience, and proper storage in a humidor preserves freshness. With time, smokers can refine their preferences and fully enjoy the craft of fine cigars. Happy smoking!

New Year and Old Things

As we step into a new year, it’s easy to focus on resolutions and personal growth, but the Christian faith reminds us to look back to the timeless truths of God’s Word. The gospel, sacraments, and fellowship have sustained the Church through centuries, offering enduring hope in a culture obsessed with novelty. Like savoring a fine cigar connects us to tradition and craftsmanship, our faith calls us to pause, reflect, and remember God’s unchanging character and faithfulness. This year, let’s deepen our roots in these “old paths,” savoring the richness of God’s grace that stands the test of time.
