The Story Behind Bocock Brothers Cigars.
In his late 20s, Bryant Bocock found himself thrust into the dynamic world of nightclub management and co-ownership in Honduras.
Navigating this exhilarating yet intricate industry, Bryant quickly realized the need to innovate constantly to satisfy the ever-changing desires of patrons. Recognizing the surplus space on the expansive 18th-floor rooftop, Bryant envisioned something truly unique—a walk-in humidor. Despite his limited knowledge of cigars at the time, Bryant understood that this addition would not only offer customers a distinctive experience but also contribute significantly to the club's success.
What began as a humble endeavor soon burgeoned into one of the largest cigar humidors in Honduras. People from diverse backgrounds flocked to the establishment to indulge in fine cigars and coffee during the day, while evenings saw others enjoying premium stogies paired with exquisite whisky or bourbon, all while basking in the breathtaking views of Tegucigalpa from the rooftop.
The exposure to the cigar industry proved transformative for the Bocock Brothers, fostering relationships with local producers and imparting invaluable lessons in the art of cigar pairing and the camaraderie it fosters. The club hosted a myriad of cigar-themed events, catering to embassies, banks, and local and international companies, providing Bryant with the opportunity to engage with individuals from all walks of life over a shared passion for cigars.
Bryant's burgeoning passion for cigars led him on regular excursions to the tobacco fields, where he immersed himself in the cultivation and blending process under the tutelage of seasoned blend-masters.
Following the closure of the club and his return to the US, Bryant, along with his brother Douglas, seized the opportunity to turn their shared dream into reality. They envisioned a brand that would redefine the cigar experience, catering to aficionados seeking accessible yet exceptional blends inspired by their unique journey. Thus, BOCOCK was born—a brand characterized by their distinctive last name and symbolized by a confident rooster with a bow.
Drawing from Bryant's meticulous notes and insights gathered from their nightclub venture, the brothers embarked on the arduous task of crafting their own blends. The result: the Bocock Brother's World Traveler Collection, a testament to their passion for exploration and discovery. Featuring Connecticut, Maduro, and Habano blends in Robusto, Churchill, and Toro vitolas, these cigars promise a journey of unparalleled flavor and satisfaction.
