We never expected to find ourselves in such a unique and blessed position.

Having spent over twenty-five years in the trades, he has lived in the trenches of residential construction work. From there came the adoption of a trade as a proficient drywall finisher. Then came almost a decade of running his own successful drywall company. Through those years, an understanding of quality and passion in the trade grew. Now, moving into a new and exciting position, he still holds drywall finishing close. But his passion is slowly shifting toward a dream.

As a dedicated, hardworking father of two, he understands family and carries the same values and beliefs into how Anchor & Ash Cigar Co. operates: with love, commitment and intent. Cigars aren’t only a point of passion, but also points of culture, community and pride in what is offered. With the understanding of the time needed to hone one’s craft in the trades comes an understanding of what it takes to become fluent in an entirely different culture: cigar culture.

With the belief that the culture isn’t only for one group of people or another, he sees its reach. And with the belief that cigars are a valuable commodity in life, whether for processing the day, marking a special occasion, or celebrating, Eric knows their place. From the blue-collar to the white-collar, and everyone in between, he understands.

When it comes to cigars, a high-quality experience is always necessary. Eric is a perfectionist, and his expectations are of perfection and quality in every experience. His unwavering commitment to Anchor & Ash Cigar Co. is designed to bring his passion, experience and knowledge of cigars to the table.

He's down to earth. He’s genuine.

He understands the need for a quality cigar for whatever life stage you’re in. That same quality he expects is the quality customers get: the finest cigar.

The best cigar experience for your occasion, whatever it may be.

From the ashes we rise.

Sincerely,
Eric Brueckner
President
