Uncle Nearest has earned 25 Best in Class honors, including one of the “Top 5 Whiskies in the World.” Drunk Chicken Cigars The birth of Drunk Chicken Cigars started with friends and family hanging out in the family backyard; living the dream, eating, drinking, and sharing cigars. This backyard oasis includes over a dozen chickens, dogs and local wildlife that frequently visit. The “Drunk Chicken” name was established one evening as we enjoyed our typical Saturday festivities, the chickens were “going home to roost” and seem to stumble as if they were drunk. The Drunk Chicken events grew, becoming the regular safe place to hang out. The notional entry fee was bringing a cigar to smoke and one to share. This quickly evolved into a quest of finding unique cigars none of us had previously smoked. While traveling, the exploration of various cigars bars and shops led to meeting many cigar aficionados including shop owners, cigar diplomats, Cuban hand-rollers, cigar lovers and junkies like us. The creative juices started to flow as they introduced us to freshly rolled-cigars and different brands and flavors of cigars. To impress our friends, we decided to try our hand at having our favorite tobacco leaves blended and hand-rolled to share back at the “Coop”. They were instant hits thus Drunk Chicken Cigars “Chicks” were born. THE APPROACH Quality matters that is why Drunk Chicken Cigars is a business built on passion, love, with no compromise in quality or flavor. The entire production of the Drunk Chicken Cigars “Chicks” is completed by hand and produced in the U.S.A. The “Chick” making process begins with choosing the tobacco leaves to include the filler, binder, and wrapper. Only the grade “A” long-leaf tobacco leaves are chosen as fillers in the creations of our “Chicks”. Taking no short cuts in the cigar making process, every blend was personally hand-rolled and aged. Creating the perfect combination takes time as we evaluate: draw, burn, complexity, dynamic range, smoke texture, wrapper quality, strength, intensity, and overall enjoyabilty. Only the best of the best become “Chicks”. Our goal is to consistently deliver hand-rolled premium cigars to our customers. When orders are placed, we inspect the “Chicks” again for the quality of the leaf and the firmness of the roll so our customers receive a reliable and enjoyable smokin’ experience. This is why we produce in small batches with numbered boxes. We want to share our passion and love for smoking quality, premium cigars, so tell your peeps…We Have “Chicks”.

She is an Army War Veteran serving over 10 years in the military and a deployment tour in Iraq in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom. In 2005, her time in Iraq, was her introduction to the leaf, “therapy” as she calls it. At the end of the deployment, she and a group of military comrades celebrated their upcoming return to the U.S. by smoking a cigar. Since then, she has increased her knowledge and love of the leaf. In 2019, she wanted to solve the problem of finding places to smoke. Lit Torch was created specifically for everything cigar. In April 2019, the LLC was formed and in August 2019, the app was launched. In February 2020, she joined the AJ Fernandez Cigar Tour by Cigar Educated, LLC. Her knowledge of the leaf and her desire to enlighten the cigar smoker increased exponentially. Her technology introduction to the Cigar Culture and Industry with the Lit Torch™ app is just the beginning.
