We are in our 10th year at Smoke Rings Cigar Bar, established in 2015 and approaching our 30th year of Cigar Box, established in 1996. One of the most gratifying aspects of decades in the cigar community is the ability to establish friendships with industry leaders like Litto Gomez, Nick Perdomo, Carlito Fuente, the Newman family, Jonathan Drew, Francisco Almonte, Ernesto Perez Carillo and so many more. You can see and hear them tell their stories on our The Talking Ash podcasts. We are family-owned, locally-owned brick and mortar cigar stores and cigar bar. We can appreciate and identify with many of the brand owners – who at various points their history – decided they were going to make and sell cigars. Those visions and those decisions destined our paths to cross in friendships and business relationships that enable our customers to have access to new and exclusive cigars directly from the owners and blenders of the brands.

We are thrilled to share this journey with you! Like our Smoke Rings and Cigar Box families, we work hard to do things right. We love a cigar as part of our day – every cigar is like an hour vacation – you enjoy it, you earned it, you deserve it. We love being able to bring you the newest and the best the industry has to offer. For us, cigars are not just one more product to be bought and consumed, maybe from one of the big box corporations. They are part of the day or night out. They let us slow down and appreciate the moment. They allow us to think, replay memories and make. They allow us to talk to so many interesting and fascinating people doing the same.

Walk into a cigar lounge anywhere – the conversation is easy, you walk out with stories from people you never even knew you didn’t know. That is what we live and see every day and night at Smoke Rings and Cigar Box. That’s what these decades helped us understand as a local, brick and mortar small business with friendships with the leaders of the cigar world. We work hard, we love our families & friends, our communities and our country – and we love nothing more than sharing our cigar story with people who feel the same. Thank you for being a part of our story – and thank you for allowing us to be part of yours. In life. the runway gets a little shorter every day – but the perspective and appreciation get a little deeper too. We look forward to continuing the ride with you!
