Last week, The Real Smoke Podcast had the pleasure of sitting down with Army veteran Bryce Wygal, the mastermind behind Silent Hero Cigar. As the owner of this rising cigar brand, Bryce shared his journey from serving in the military to launching a business with a mission. What sets Silent Hero Cigar apart isn’t just the premium quality of the cigars, but the heart behind it, Bryce’s dedication to giving back to the military community, particularly those grappling with PTSD. In this candid conversation, he opened up about his passion for cigars, his transition to entrepreneurship, and how he is using his brand to make a real difference for his fellow veterans.

About Bryce:
Bryce “Founder” originally was born and raised near the Annapolis, Maryland region. Later, enlisting in the U.S Army at 19, that one decision would forever shape the course he was on. After being in the Army for 3 years, there was a noticeable shift in Bryce that close friends and family began to recognize. Bryce was diagnosed with PTSD before he left the Army in 2021, and upon his arrival to civilian life, his challenges would begin to increase and test his mental fortitude.
Navigating the challenges of readjustment to civilian life and PTSD, Bryce soon realized the glaring gap in support for veterans grappling with mental health issues. Determined to make a difference, he turned to his passion for cigars as a means to shed light on this overlooked issue.
Founded in the heart of Cheyenne, Wyoming, Silent Hero Cigar isn’t just about crafting exceptional cigars; it’s about fostering a community of understanding and support. With each blend meticulously crafted, we honor the strength and resilience of our fellow veterans, dedicating 10% of our profits to organizations that directly assist veterans with PTSD.
So, as you savor the rich flavors of our handcrafted cigars, remember the story behind each blend – a story of service, and the unwavering dedication to make a difference. Together, lets fight for our brave servicemen and women, as they have fought for us.
