While this might come as a surprise, Bocock Brothers Premium Cigars is owned and operated by two brothers, Bryant and Douglas Bocock. While modest in size, as many first-year attendees’ booths go, it was well laid out with plenty of branding to let you know who they were and a well-lit display case showing off their cigars and Bocock Brothers branded golf apparel.
The company got its start after Bryant co-owned and managed a nightclub in Honduras where he had added a walk-in humidor. The humidor proved to be a hit, and with it, he was introduced to the world of cigars and the experiences they offered his customers. After the club closed, Bryant moved back to the U.S. where he shared the idea of a cigar brand with his brother, and thus Bocock Brothers Premium Cigars was born.
