About Us
Built From a Simple Idea
Glass Traveler started with a simple idea: create useful, well-made products that solve real problems and make the experiences we already enjoy a little better.
What began as a solution to a personal need grew into something we believed other cigar and bourbon enthusiasts would appreciate too. That same practical approach continues to guide what we build and where we take Glass Traveler next.
The Founder
Meet Ron Capwell
Glass Traveler was founded by Ron Capwell, a lifelong creator and builder with a passion for turning ideas into useful products that provide real value, deliver quality, and meet an actual need.
Ron enjoys a great cigar and a glass of bourbon, especially while spending time with friends in the lounge. But he is just as happy enjoying a quiet cigar surrounded by nature and the beauty of the outdoors.
Those two experiences—the camaraderie of the lounge and the solitude of the outdoors—are a big part of what inspired Glass Traveler. It was designed to fit naturally into both. At the lounge, it gives you your own glass and ashtray as part of your personal setup. Outdoors, it gives you a practical way to bring a real rocks glass along while helping protect it during travel.
Whether you're sharing an evening with friends or enjoying a quiet bourbon and cigar surrounded by nature, Glass Traveler lets you bring a little bit of your own cigar lounge with you.
How We Build
Made in Southwest Florida
Glass Traveler products are made to order in Southwest Florida using additive manufacturing.
Producing our products ourselves gives us the freedom to experiment, develop new ideas, and release new designs without being limited by the demands of traditional mass production.
It also keeps us connected to the process. From developing a design to preparing the finished order for shipment, we remain directly involved in what ultimately arrives at your door.
We're a small business, and we're proud of that.
Creative enough to try something new.
Practical enough to make sure it earns its place.
What's Next
Help Us Decide What We Build Next
We're already working on new Glass Traveler themes and designs, and we'll release them as they're ready.
But we don't want every new design decision to come from us. We plan to give our customers the opportunity to vote on upcoming designs and help determine what we create next.
If there's a theme our customers really want to see, we want to know about it. Our goal is to build a growing collection shaped not only by the things we enjoy, but by the community of people who use Glass Traveler.
The Road Ahead
We're Just Getting Started
Glass Traveler began with one idea, but we don't intend for it to end there. We want to keep creating useful, well-made products for people who appreciate a great cigar, a good bourbon, good company—and occasionally a little peace and quiet outdoors.
Sip Boldly. Arrive with Glass.
