“I always forget cigars when I go some place,” Stevens said. “[My wife and I] were at the Truck Yard and I looked up and saw a bunch of vendor trucks...and it popped into my head to look into the possibility of a cigar [vendor] truck.”
Rolling Cigars is a mobile humidor offering different styles of cigars at various events such as weddings, corporate functions, trade shows and festivals.
What’s special about it?
Once hired, Stevens said customers have options, such as choosing a predetermined number of cigars for an event, or Stevens can set up his mobile humidor to sell directly to customers. He can also set up a hand roller and roll cigars with custom bands.
Stevens said Rolling Cigars offers eight to 12 types of cigars at every event. Additionally, Stevens said he has partnered with a Dallas-area company that sells cigar accessories so he can offer customized lighters, carry cases, cutters and humidors.
“I try to make a unique experience for the actual person,” Stevens said. “I want to fit what they're looking for.”
Additional Details
Stevens' 18-foot-trailer can travel to different locations, but Rolling Cigars regularly sets up at various North Texas locations, including the Truck Yard in The Colony, Rollertown Beerworks in Celina and Tupps Brewery in McKinney, where Rolling Cigars has been selected to be a regular vendor.
“I really believe I'm an asset,” Stevens said. “I bring something that nobody has really seen yet, and I think a lot of venues are looking for that now.”
Quote of note
“I really believe that everything around a cigar involves some type of celebration, whether it's a celebration of life, ... a graduation, [or] a wedding,” Stevens said. “A lot of people relate cigars to really fun memories and good times.”
