1865 Project Cigar
Celebrating Freedom
The 1865 Project Cigar is a joint venture between 1865 Ventures, LLC and Rocky Patel to recognize the importance of African American history and the significant contributions African Americans have made to the cigar industry. When you purchase an 1865 Project Cigar by Rocky Patel, you’re not just buying a world-class piece of Nicaragua’s finest–you’re also investing in the future of America. Featuring an undeniable composition of tobacco and showcasing a signature San Andres wrapper, the 1865 Project by Rocky Patel isn’t just a great cigar – it’s a promise for a better tomorrow.
A portion of the proceeds from the 1865 Project Cigar will be donated to support students attending Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) and to support non-profit organizations making positive contributions to communities of color.
