Welcome to Cayman Cigars!
Here you will experience our island journey, discover our famous “Made in Cayman” cigars, and learn many interesting things about this tropical paradise we call home.
Let’s begin.
How did a father and son begin a voyage of a lifetime?
OUR STORY
Our story begins when our family (Dad Granger, Mom Margie, and children Scott, Lynne, and Christie) first visited Grand Cayman in 1978. Instantly enamored by the island’s warm people, crystal clear waters, and endless sunshine, Mom and Dad became permanent residents and sought ways to give back to the islands.
Giving Back
We began working with The Bridge Foundation (thebridgefoundationcayman.org), which helps Caymanians in early addiction recovery regain the basic foundations for successful sober living. Eventually, we determined an additional need for continued recovery progress, so we created Beacon Farms in 2018.
BEACON FARMS
A 34-acre property was discovered in Grand Cayman’s North Side, and was purchased by mom and dad, who promptly created a nonprofit (beaconfarmscayman.org) to provide a “continuum of care” model of recovery to its residents. After a complete renovation of the property and buildings, Beacon Farms now has a five-bedroom main house, a manager’s residence and a food grade certified manufacturing facility.
MORE THAN TABACCO
The farm currently employs 14 Caymanians in sustained addiction recovery, providing agricultural jobs and careers to graduates of The Bridge Foundation. The farm grows a variety of staple crops, including callaloo, jackfruit and eggplant, along with experimental crops like cigar tobacco (more on that later). Handmade coconut oil, soaps, sauces and jams are made using crops grown right on the farm.
FROM LEAF TO CIGAR
Once we made the decision to make hand-rolled cigars in Cayman, we started to question everyone who was connected to cigar manufacture and sales. Everyone we spoke to said “talk to Fritz Bossart.... We found Fritz Bossert at Lancaster Leaf in Landcaster, PA. He was very friendly and invited us to Lancaster to discuss the cigar business. We covered a wide range of cigar topics. Fritz gave us a suggested list of filler, binder, and wrapper to get us started and arranged a way for us to purchase leaf from Universal Leaf in the Dominican Republic.
BODDEN TOWN & OUR BLENDS
Our next stop was Grand Cayman. We rented space in Bodden Town, about 40 minutes North of George Town. We collaborated with an experienced cigar roller from Cuba, who helped us develop the 4 blends we currently produce: Sovereign I, Sovereign II, Sovereign III, and Monarch. The Caiman was introduced shortly after.
In 2026, we introduced two new blends – the Duoubloon and Broadside- using unique Nicaraguan blends.
Come see us in Bodden Town when you visit Grand Cayman.
