Full Moons Club Opens Pre-Orders for Cooled Blend: A Women-Founded Take on the Hemp Menthol Category.
Founder Marion Brooks, 32, announces July 15 ship date for Cooled Blend, a menthol-finished hemp cigarette from Full Moons Club. Pre-orders open today at $144.99 per carton. The launch arrives as state menthol bans in California and Massachusetts continue to remove flavored tobacco from shelves.
Founder bio
Marion Brooks (b. 1993) is the founder and CEO of Full Moons Club. She founded the brand in 2017 at age twenty-four and has built it for eight years without outside capital. In 2023 she spent a period in Mexico, where she met the hemp-and-tobacco manufacturer who would later contract to produce the brand at scale. The result is Full Moons Club: a founder-led hemp cigarette brand for adults who already smoke, plant-first, anti-cessation, designed for women in their twenties and thirties. Marion is based in Miami Beach and operates the company without venture capital.
