About Us

Man-Upp Cigars was created by myself Joe Whitaker in November 2008 with the help of a good friend Greg Whitten. The idea to start the business came about through my online friends and connections on several Social Group Sites.  Many of those Social Groups are focused on cigars and cigar enthusiasts!  As I began talking to other men and reading about how much cigars are such a passion and favorite past time for them, I realized that it was very much the same for my Dad.

My Dad, William Hugh Whitaker, began smoking cigars beginning in his late teens and truly had a love for a good cigar.  When he died very suddenly in 1991, I had never had the opportunity to share a cigar with him.  I do regret that we never had that moment to sit down under the shade tree of our family home in Alabama and enjoy a good cigar together and him share his love of them.  I have many memories of waking up in the mornings as a kid and the smells of our home drifting throughout the house.  They were the distinct smells of coffee brewing,  bacon cooking in a skillet and my Dad's cigar smoke.  I would always walk into the kitchen and see him sitting at the table drinking his coffee and smoking his morning cigar.  Those memories of him I do cherish because he was doing something he loved!

Man-UppCigars is dedicated to him. 

I am committed to making Man-UppCigars a place for fellow cigar smokers  to find quality cigars at reasonable pricing and through my own Cigar Social Groups I hope to help men connect with others that have that same love and passion for a good CIGAR!

Thank You for stopping by!
