My name is Dwayne Jamal Mckinley, a proud U.S. Navy Master-at-Arms and the founder of Sailors & Stogies. This brand was born out of downtime on deployment—when one of my brothers In uniform handed me a box of Drew Estate Blondie’s and said, “Here you go bro.” That moment lit a passion that’s grown into a mission.

Sailors & Stogies is more than a cigar page—its’s a community built on real smoke, real stories, and the camaraderie we find in the moments between duty and freedom. Whether you’re active duty, a veteran, or just a lover of a good stogie, this space is for you.

From cigar reviews to gear drops and content that speaks our language, I’m here to bring you into the lifestyle—one puff, one post, one connection at a time.
