Behind the Brand's Roots
The story of Joel Castillo began with an appreciation for a good bourbon and the tradition and experience that comes with it. Over time, that appreciation grew into a love for quality cigars and finding the perfect pairing. While traveling, Joel always made a point to visit local cigar lounges, enjoying the different atmospheres, conversations, and the chance to simply slow down and unwind. After experiencing lounges in different cities, one thought continued to come to mind—why not bring that same experience home? That idea became Quitting Time Cigars, a place created for Floresville and the surrounding community to enjoy quality cigars, good company, and a place to relax after a long day. Because sometimes the best part of the day begins when it’s finally quitting time.
