Our story

                                               

 

Bryce Wygal, the founder of Silent Hero Cigar, was born and raised near Annapolis, Maryland. At 19, he made the life-changing decision to enlist in the U.S. Army, a choice that would profoundly shape his future. After serving for three years, those closest to Bryce began noticing changes in him, which ultimately lead to his PTSD diagnosis before leaving the Army in 2021. As he transitioned back to civilian life, the challenges of adjusting and managing his mental health grew even more difficult, testing his resilience.

In grappling with PTSD and the struggles of readjustment, Bryce recognized a critical gap in support for veterans facing similar mental health challenges. Driven by a desire to make a difference, he turned to his passion for cigars to raise awareness and shed light on this often-overlooked issue.

Founded in the heart of Cheyenne, Wyoming, Silent Hero Cigar is more than just a cigar brand; it’s a movement built on community, understanding, and support. With each carefully crafted cigar, we honor the strength and struggle faced by veterans. With this, we are proud to dedicate 10% of our profits to organizations that provide crucial assistance and support to veterans with PTSD. 

As you enjoy our handcrafted cigars, know you’re supporting a cause that makes a real difference in the lives of those who sacrificed for ours.
