Republic of Debauchery was born out a mutual love for scotch, cigars, and other vices that we enjoy so much. Both founders began smoking cigars in their teenage years. Later in life, they met and bonded over fine spirits… A LOT of fine spirits. They both also enjoyed cigars, but it wasn’t until one very special cigar came along that their passion became consuming. A little over half a decade later, one founder looked at the other and said, “you know what the world is missing? Another YouTube channel about cigars.” After that, it was just a matter of a few drinks before the company was formed and production began.
