Cigarbers.

A cigar line rolled for the end of a fourteen-hour smoke. Five blends, each named for a chapter of the story, finished in post-oak-seasoned cedar. Garber plus cigar. He knows. He named it anyway.

Why a chef makes cigars

Every GarBBQ closes the same way. The last brisket goes out, the pit is banked for the morning, and Jeremy sits on an upturned crate behind the smoker for twenty minutes. In the garage years that was a cheap gas-station cigar. In 2025 it became Cigarbers: a line blended to taste like the end of a long cook, aged in cedar that has spent a season next to a post-oak fire.

The name is a pun. Jeremy is aware. "Scott told me it was embarrassing," he says. "So I printed it bigger."

How they're made

Long-filler, hand-rolled in small batches, with wrappers chosen for how they sit against smoke rather than against wine. Every band carries the GarBBQ flame and a two-letter JG stamp. The cedar is real post-oak-seasoned cedar from the Cooper City pit.

Where to find them

Humidors at all ten GarBBQ locations (21+, with ID), select lounges in Florida, Georgia, Tennessee, Colorado and Nevada, and wholesale by request. Cigarbers are not sold online.

The blends

Five sticks, five chapters.

The Kid Brother

Robusto5 × 50Medium

Cedar, black pepper, a long sweet finish that sneaks up on you.

The flagship. Named for the memoir and for the kid who carried the cooler. Starts quiet, ends loud.

Post Oak Maduro

Toro6 × 52Full

Dark chocolate, espresso, charred oak, brisket bark.

The fourteen-hour cigar. Blended to taste like the last hour of a cook, when the bark sets and the whole block smells like it.

Cooper City Corona

Corona5½ × 44Mild

Cream, hay, honey, a little citrus.

The hometown stick. Light enough for a Saturday afternoon in the garage with the door up and the neighbors coming over.

The Challenger

Belicoso6 × 54Medium-full

Leather, cayenne, toasted bread, a victory lap of sweetness.

Named for one word on one scoreboard. Rolled to a point, because it was. Scott, right, had to stand there and clap.

Boukzam Reserve

Churchill7 × 48Medium

Warm cedar, vanilla, pipe tobacco, a long calm finish.

The long one, for the long sit. Named for the dog who sat beside him behind every smoker. Every box sold funds The Boukzam Foundation in full.

Not available

The Scott

Repeatedly requested by customers. Never made. "I don't blend things that don't finish," Jeremy said.

A cigar is just barbecue you don't have to share.
