About this project
What it does and how it was built
An e-commerce site in active build for a Rochester, NY hand-rolled cigar brand. The voice is the brand: honest products, fair prices, no marketing nonsense — "made for the porch and the workshop." The build pairs a fast static storefront with a Sanity-backed product catalog, cart, and an invite-only wholesale ordering flow for retail partners. Currently in the pre-launch preview stage ahead of the bluecollartobacco.com domain cutover.
