About Black Patch
From Kentucky Soil to Premium
Cigar Craftsmanship
Our Story
Black Patch Cigar Company was founded by Eric McAnallen, inspired by the rich tobacco heritage of Western Kentucky’s historic Black Patch region. What Began as a curiosity on a family farm grew into a mission: to restore Kentucky’s place in premium cigars, once prominent but long forgotten.
Heritage & History
A century ago, Kentucky was home to dozens of cigar makers. Over time, the industry disappeared, but the land never lost its potential. Today, Black Patch Cigars brings that legacy full circle by reintroducing Kentucky-grown tobacco into premium blends, something rarely done in the modern cigar world.
Our Tobacco
Black Patch Cigars are built on two core elements:
Kentucky Tobacco
- Grown in Black Patch soil
- Known for its richness and natural sweetness
- Includes proprietary Kenbano seed
Dominican Tobacco
- Provides balance, burn quality, and complexity
- Expertly cultivated and rolled by master blenders
Black Patch Philosophy
Black Patch Cigar operates on a simple principle: Quality over quantity. Experience over expectation.
