Latest release
Full Moons Club Opens Pre-Orders for Its First Cooled Blend, a Menthol-Finished Hemp Cigarette From One of the Category's Only Women Founders.
Founder Marion Brooks announces Full Moons Cooled Blend, the brand's first menthol-finished blend: an 85mm hemp cigarette with no tobacco and no nicotine, every batch lab-tested by an accredited third-party laboratory. Pre-orders open at $16.99 a pack and ship in July 2026. The launch arrives as menthol continues to disappear from shelves, with Massachusetts removing menthol cigarettes from sale in 2020 and the question still live at the federal level.
Founder bio
Marion Brooks is the founder and CEO of Full Moons Club. She founded the brand in 2017 and has built it over eight years as a founder-owned, independent company. In 2023 she spent a period in Mexico, where she met the contract manufacturer who would later 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 Full Moons Club remains founder-owned and independent.
