About us

The story of The Garrison started 18 years ago, when John McLaughlin was first introduced to cigars. What was once a fun hobby he enjoyed with friends eventually turned into a lifelong passion.

Fast-forward to 2021, John began reviewing cigars online, and that's where his involvement in the industry began to really take-off. With so much knowledge and passion for cigars, he knew he wanted to create a business around it, but wasn't sure which direction to go.

One night, his much more creative wife, Carly, had the fantastic idea of combining the food-truck concept with cigars. A mobile humidor that was both upscale and inviting, along with an incredible inventory and expert service. The Garrison was born.

What makes us different?

With over 18 years in cigars, and from a reviewer's depth of knowledge, we can offer the most expert perspective and recommendations. Our aim is to always delight our customers with the perfect cigar pairing.

We don't just carry a handful of the same cigars to our events. We continuously invest in the best offerings from both well-known as well as very boutique brands.

Finally, we wanted to ensure our trailer was visually striking. Our clients put a lot of effort into making their events beautiful, and the last thing we'd want to do is be an eyesore in the background.

Every meticulous detail and every dollar invested is aimed at providing our clients with the very best experience possible.
