As a Safety Engineer, I’m driven to solve problems. One fall afternoon in 2020, I set my cigar on the garage threshold during a yardwork break. minutes later, it was gone. That small frustration sparked a big idea: there had to be a better way to rest a cigar securely.

Exactly twenty-two days later, at 2:27 a.m., I woke with a vivid vision of a low-profile cigar rest. I sketched it before the idea faded and quickly brought it to life. The response from cigar enthusiasts was overwhelmingly positive, and on April 18, 2023, the design was officially awarded U.S. Patent #D984,037.

That moment became the foundation for the Horst Cigar Gear Collection, a lineup built to solve real problems I have experienced myself. From the garage to the golf course, from quiet patios to curated events, Horst Cigar Gear is designed to move with you.

This journey has become something greater than a collection of products. Each piece in the Horst Cigar Gear Collection combines style, convenience, and functionality to elevate the timeless ritual of enjoying a fine cigar.
