Drunk Chicken Cigars

Desiree Sylver, Ph.D.

Founder. Master Blender. Entrepreneur. Cigar Enthusiast.

Dr. Desiree Sylver is the Founder and CEO of Drunk Chicken Cigars, a premium cigar company built on a simple belief: the cigar should speak for itself.

A longtime cigar enthusiast with more than two decades of experience enjoying and studying premium cigars, Desiree founded Drunk Chicken Cigars in 2019 with a vision to create distinctive blends that combine premium tobacco, exceptional quality, memorable flavor, and personality.

As Founder and Master Blender, Desiree brings her palate and vision directly into the development of the Drunk Chicken Cigars portfolio. From smooth, approachable blends to rich, full-bodied cigars, each creation is designed to deliver its own experience while maintaining the quality expected from the DCC name.

Her Ph.D. in Organizational Leadership and years of business experience have also shaped her approach to building Drunk Chicken Cigars—not simply as a cigar company, but as a national premium brand centered on quality, relationships, and the cigar community.

As a Black woman building a company in the premium cigar industry, Desiree is proud of the story behind Drunk Chicken Cigars. But she has never wanted ownership to be the reason someone chooses a DCC cigar.

The goal is much simpler:

Try the cigar. Experience the quality. Remember the brand.

Because at Drunk Chicken Cigars, the story may introduce you to the company—but the cigar is what brings you back.
