Our History

A Legacy of Craft, Hospitality, and Cuban-Inspired Tradition

The Foundation of Tradition

Early family tradition in handcrafted cigar making laid the groundwork for what would become the Cigar Paradise philosophy. From selecting and aging tobacco leaves to understanding balance, construction, and flavor development, each generation refined its knowledge through patience and practice.

This foundation was never about mass production. It was about respect, for tobacco, for time, and for the ritual that surrounds a well-made cigar.

From Heritage to Identity

As the craft passed through generations, Cigar Paradise evolved beyond tradition alone. Each generation preserved ancestral techniques while adapting to changing environments, markets, and expectations, bridging heritage with innovation.

This period defined the brand’s identity: honoring where it comes from while preparing for where it was going.

Where a New Chapter in American Cigar Culture Began

In 2008, Cigar Paradise entered the American market with a simple and genuine purpose: to share authentic cigar culture through welcoming spaces, thoughtful hospitality, and an uncompromising respect for quality.

What began as a small, brick-and-mortar location in Madeira Beach was never about scale, t was about presence. Built around conversation, craftsmanship, and community, that first lounge laid the foundation for what would gradually evolve into a multi-location hospitality experience. As the brand grew, each new location was shaped by its surroundings, while remaining rooted in the same values that defined the original space.

Where Craft Meets Hospitality

Cigar Paradise is more than a cigar brand. Each location is intentionally designed to offer a refined yet relaxed atmosphere where premium cigars, carefully crafted cocktails, and attentive service come together naturally.

Hospitality is not an accessory to the experience, it is the experience.

Our Craft, Our Signature

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, resulting in balance, consistency, and character.

Industry Collaboration & Shared Growth

Cigar Paradise was built on the belief that the premium cigar industry grows strongest through collaboration. Rather than elevating a single voice, we focus on building meaningful partnerships where cigar families, respected name-brand cigars, spirits producers, and hospitality professionals grow together.

Driven by our commitment to delivering the highest standard of service to our guests, these collaborations create public-facing pairing experiences and shared showcases that encourage education, connection, and professional networking. Through this integrated approach, we contribute to a stronger, more visible, and more respected premium cigar and hospitality culture.

Looking Ahead, Grounded in Purpose

As Cigar Paradise continues to grow, expansion is approached with intention, preserving the essence that defines the brand while introducing new experiences that complement its lifestyle.

This is Cigar Paradise.
Where tradition lives, craft evolves, and every moment becomes a memorable experience.
