ABOUT CHESTERTON & CO. & MATT FRADD: Matt Fradd is a Catholic author & podcaster. He is most well known for his Catholic podcast, Pints with Aquinas. He has written and contributed to numerous books including Does God Exist? A Socratic Dialogue on the Five Ways of Thomas Aquinas, Marian Consecration with Aquinas, and The Porn Myth. Matt Fradd along with the other owners longed for a cigar lounge in Steubenville. When the opportunity came to purchase the original legendary location of The Herald Square cigar shop in Steubenville, they pounced. They came up with an idea of having the shop become a place where "modern Chesterton, Lewis, and Tolkiens can come to smoke and enjoy a lively atmosphere." Thus, they named the shop, Chesterton & Co. Cigars. Completely gutting the building and custom making the humidor out of wooden frames and glass from a 1930s dance studio, they sought to bring back the original Steubenville identity to downtown. Matt Fradd and the rest of the ownership opened officially on October 7, 2022 with a live action G.K. Chesterton doing the ribbon cutting.
