Our History
Crafted Tradition. Modern Experience.
A Legacy Four Generations in the Making
Cigar Paradise is built on more than a century of tobacco knowledge and family tradition. Rooted in a four-generation lineage, the brand carries forward the artistry, discipline, and respect for craft passed down through generations devoted to premium cigars.
In 2008, Cigar Paradise entered the American market with a clear purpose: to introduce authentic cigar culture to Florida’s most iconic destinations through thoughtful hospitality, refined environments, and uncompromising quality.
Early family tradition in handcrafted cigar making passed through generations
What began as a single lounge in Madeira Beach has evolved into a multi-location hospitality ecosystem, now encompassing six operating concepts. Today, the brand includes four distinctive cigar lounges alongside two innovative extensions—Mad Pub and Sip & Scoop—each designed to complement the Cigar Paradise lifestyle.
Cigar Paradise stands at the intersection of heritage and modernity, honoring traditional cigar craftsmanship while embracing contemporary experiences that define today’s premium hospitality landscape.
OUR CRAFT
House Blend Cigars Handcrafted With Intention
At the core of Cigar Paradise lies a commitment to authenticity, craftsmanship, and tradition. For over 17 years, our signature house blend cigars have been handcrafted using time-honored techniques refined across generations.
Each cigar reflects a deliberate process rooted in precision, knowledge, and respect for tobacco. From blend composition to construction, every detail is considered to ensure balance, consistency, and character.
Our cigars are rolled at our original Madeira Beach location and distributed across all Cigar Paradise lounges, making them a defining expression of the brand’s identity.
Every draw tells a story—of legacy, intention, and enduring craftsmanship.
