About

Holy Smokes was founded by Justin Stroup, Chris Griffin, and Jeremiah Outwater, stemming from a shared desire for deeper faith and camaraderie. What began as a small gathering of like-minded men evolved into a thriving community centered around spiritual growth, friendship, cigars, and bourbon. Motivated by the belief that meaningful connections could be forged in the midst of shared pleasures, the trio established Holy Smokes. The founders, driven by a passion for faith and genuine fellowship, aimed to create an environment where men could explore their spirituality through Bible study while indulging in the simple pleasures of cigars and quality bourbon. Holy Smokes has since blossomed into a movement, spreading its roots from Winder, Commerce, and Auburn, GA, and continuously seeking new locations to offer more men the opportunity to gather, connect, and grow together on their spiritual journeys.
