Twenty programs. The brothers picked the wrapper and the shape for each one, and every box is painted by hand in its colors. Nothing here is guessed at. Find yours and the rest of this page follows.
The Championship Vault
A title is the one night a program never forgets. We choose the blend for it, paint the box for it, and produce it once. When the run ends it does not come back, and we do not reprint it.
The brothers, the master blender, and a town that excels at this one thing
Nothing here was revived. It never stopped.
Danlí sits in eastern Honduras on the edge of the Jamastran Valley, where the altitude, the clay soil and a long dry season put out tobacco that blenders fly in from three continents to argue over. Danlí is a working town with plenty else going on, but tobacco is the thing it has spent sixty years perfecting, and everyone who rolls here learned it from someone who learned it from a Cuban.
That is not a history lesson. The Cuban families who left the island never left Danlí. Their children were born in this town, their grandchildren still walk the same rows, and Cuban Corojo seed is still in the ground in the Jamastran Valley.
Bryant and Douglas Bocock were born in Honduras, and they are at that bench for every release. They sit with the master blender at their allied factory Casa Don Andrés, and decide it school by school. Habano or Sumatra. Corojo or Maduro. Toro or torpedo. Round or box pressed.
Somebody chose what your school smokes, and it was the two of them.
Every cigar is then made by hand, every box crafted by hand, and every box painted by hand in that school's colors before a cigar goes into it.

Three ways in
Trying us for the first time, buying the centerpiece, or finishing someone's setup. Pick the door.
01
Try the blend
Five cigars from the blend chosen for your school, in your school's band. The cheapest way to find out whether a Bocock belongs in your rotation before you commit to twenty.
02
Give the box
10 or 20 cigars in a box painted by hand in their Alma Mater colors. The graduation gift, the retirement gift, the signing day gift, the one that stays on the shelf long after the cigars are gone.
03
Finish the setup
Torches, cutters and hand poured pewter in real team colors. The part everybody forgets about until the box is already open on the tailgate.
The Legacy Collection
The World Traveler line and the Signature Edition blended with AJ Fernandez. No school on the band, nothing to hide behind. This is the blending that earned us the licenses in the first place.
The Be Cocky Kit
One hand painted box, one torch in team colors, one Cocky hat. Everything a tailgate actually needs, in one order.
Torches, cutters and ashtrays
Licensed torches, cutters and hand poured pewter in real team colors. Built to live in a jacket pocket on a Saturday, not in a drawer.
The Cocky hat
Rooster in a bowtie, rope front, adjustable. Four colorways, for people who are not shy about which side they are on.
Events and private label
Two things we do that do not fit in a shopping cart. Both start in Danli.
A roller at your event
We fly a master roller from Danli to your wedding, tailgate, donor dinner or signing party. Guests watch their cigar get built in front of them and walk out with it in a band carrying your name.
Your name on the band
Custom blend, custom band, hand painted box, rolled at Casa Don Andres. Built for athletic departments, NIL collectives, alumni associations, letterman clubs and brands. Minimums, timelines and pricing the same day you ask.

Questions people actually ask
About the leaf, the wrappers, the licensing, and what actually happens at the bench in Danli.
What makes a Bocock Brothers cigar a premium cigar?
Every Bocock Brothers cigar is made entirely by hand at the Casa Don Andres factory in Danli, Honduras, using long filler and a whole leaf wrapper. No machine touches one at any stage. The blends have twice been named Cigar of the Year by Paris Smoke Easy, in 2022 and in 2023.
Has Bocock Brothers won awards?
Yes. Bocock Brothers blends have twice been named Cigar of the Year by Paris Smoke Easy, in 2022 and in 2023. The company is a member of the Premium Cigar Association and its releases have been covered by Cigar Aficionado, halfwheel and Cigar Journal.
What wrappers and blends does Bocock Brothers use?
Bocock Brothers cigars are built on Honduran and Nicaraguan long filler under whole leaf wrappers in Habano, Corojo, Connecticut, Sumatra and Maduro. Bryant and Douglas Bocock choose which wrapper goes on each release, along with the vitola and whether the cigar is round or box pressed.
How is a school's cigar chosen?
Bryant and Douglas Bocock decide it themselves, at the bench with the master blender at Casa Don Andres in Danli. They pick the wrapper, whether Habano, Sumatra, Corojo, Connecticut or Maduro, then the vitola and the press. One school smokes a box pressed torpedo, another a round toro, and neither is an accident.
Why does Bocock Brothers use Honduran tobacco?
Honduras is one of the three great premium cigar origins, alongside Nicaragua and the Dominican Republic. The Jamastran Valley outside Danli, where Bocock Brothers cigars are made, is prized for its deep clay soil, its altitude and a long dry season, which together produce a full, oily leaf with real body and sweetness.
Where is Danli and why does it matter?
Danli is a town in eastern Honduras on the edge of the Jamastran Valley, one of the most respected tobacco regions in the world. Cuban families who left the island settled here and stayed, their children and grandchildren still farm and roll in Danli, and Cuban Corojo seed is still grown in the valley.
How is a Bocock Brothers cigar actually made?
Entirely by hand. Long filler leaves are bunched by hand, wrapped in a whole leaf binder, rolled in a whole leaf wrapper, then rested before packing. Nothing is machine bunched and nothing is short filler. Every cigar is inspected by hand before it goes into a box that was also built by hand.
Are the boxes really painted by hand?
Yes. Every Bocock Brothers collegiate box is crafted by hand and then painted by hand in that school's colors before a single cigar goes into it. Because they are painted rather than printed, no two boxes are identical, and the box is the part people keep long after the cigars are gone.
Are Bocock Brothers cigars officially licensed?
Yes. Bocock Brothers is the only officially licensed collegiate premium cigar company in the world. Licences are issued through CLC, Learfield and Affinity, the agencies that administer university trademarks, which is why school marks, colors and championship years can legally appear on the band and on the hand painted box.
Which schools does Bocock Brothers make cigars for?
Bocock Brothers holds collegiate licenses with LSU, Ole Miss, Mississippi State, Texas A&M, Florida, Missouri, Wake Forest, Indiana, Michigan, Oklahoma, Texas Tech, UConn, Syracuse, Florida State, Southern Miss, Tulane, Louisiana Lafayette, Louisville, SMU and North Texas, with more programs added each season.
What makes a championship box different?
Championship boxes are commemorative runs chosen and hand painted for a specific national title, dated to that season, produced once and never reprinted. Recent examples include the Indiana Hoosiers National Championship box, the LSU 2025 Baseball 8th National Championship box and the Michigan National Champions Maduro.
Who buys a licensed collegiate cigar box?
Alumni and fans buying for themselves, athletic departments and NIL collectives buying for players and donors, letterman clubs and alumni associations buying for events, and families buying for graduations, retirements and signing days. Bocock Brothers also produces private label runs with a school's own band and hand painted box.
