Two Guys Smoke Shop has changed its name to Two Guys Cigars. The New England-based retailer has three locations in southern New Hampshire.
Founded in 1985 in Somerville, Massachusetts, by David Garofalo and Paul Antonelli, Two Guys Smoke Shop began as a small tobacco and convenience shop selling everything from cigarettes and chewing tobacco to penny candy and comic books. Shortly after, David’s brother John stepped in as the “second guy,” helping steer the shop into a new era.
By the early 1990s, Two Guys had evolved into a cigar-only business. Following John’s passing in 2004, David continued the journey, expanding to three locations in Salem, Nashua, and Seabrook New Hampshire.
It also hosts an online retail shop at 2GuysCigars.com.
“After all this time, it was clear that our name should reflect who we are and what we stand for,” David Garofalo, president of Two Guys Cigars, said in a press release. “We are a cigar shop! Never forget where you came from and never forget who got you there. This change honors our past while pointing boldly to our future.”
