About MCL
A neighborhood smoke, since May 2022.
Mansfield Cigar Lovers was started by George Fassett, who wanted to bring the Mansfield cigar community together — and it has built lifelong friendships for many of its active members. While cigar clubs sometimes carry an "old boys" reputation, MCL is built different. Men, women, lifelong aficionados, curious first-timers — everyone is welcome at the table.
Leadership
George Fassett
Founder & Leader
Started MCL in May 2022. Runs the meets, MCs the annual charity poker tournament, and probably has more cigars than he'll admit to.
Also known as the Mayor of Earth.

Personal friend of George and moderator of the Facebook group. Helps keep the wheels turning month over month.
Jeff Stroup
Club Pro
Owned his own cigar shop for 7+ years. When there's a genuine question about a wrapper, a blend, or a humidor — Jeff's the final word.
What we stand for
Local first. Mansfield, Texas. The shops, restaurants, and neighbors who keep this city a small town.
Fellowship over flexing. Bring the cigar you actually like, ask the dumb question, meet the new face.
Give it all back. Two charity events a year. 100% of charity dollars go to the cause — we never touch the money.
Everyone's invited. Cigar culture has a reputation. We don't fit it. Guys, ladies, beginners, pros — pull up a chair.
