SHARING TRADITION, FAMILY, & TALENT
Our extensive tobacco tradition & ancestral techniques to specialize in the art and manufacture of handmade cigars dates back almost 200 years.
Our History
Cigar Paradise began its journey in 2008 as Cuban Paradise. During the registration process, we encountered challenges due to potential confusion with Cuban cigar brands. This prompted the creation of Cigar Paradise, our main brand today, symbolizing the evolution and lasting legacy of our company.
Cuban Paradise Cigar & Café: Where It All Began
In 2009, we opened Cuban Paradise Cigar & Café, preserving the tradition of hand-rolled cigars. This location has remained unchanged since its major renovation 12 years ago, continuing to offer an authentic experience for both locals and tourists.
Expansion and Innovation
Building on our success, Cigar Paradise expanded into cigar lounges and craft cocktail experiences, enhancing the customer journey.
- Cigar Paradise Royal Lounge (Beach Drive, St. Petersburg): A luxurious venue for premium cigars and cocktails.
- Cigar Paradise Boutique (St. Armand's Circle, Sarasota): An intimate version of the Royal Lounge, continuing our commitment to quality.
The Partnerships
We pride ourselves on a proven track record of successful partnerships with prestigious cigar families and top liquor brands, essential in preserving time-honored traditions. By hosting exclusive pairing events at our locations, we strengthen these relationships and showcase the exceptional craftsmanship behind each brand. This commitment drives our growth and innovation, while offering our customers an unforgettable, elevated experience.
