Cuban Cigar Group is located in Havana, Cuba
We sell cuban cigars not just for the smoke, but for the stories they carry—each one steeped in the rich soul of Cuba. Every draw brings to life the aroma of aged cedar, the warmth of the Caribbean sun, and the patience of a torcedor who’s spent decades perfecting his craft. This isn’t simply business for us—it’s legacy. A way of life rooted in tradition, passion, and respect for every leaf that’s rolled by hand.
We’ve been in the cigar world long before it became trendy. Since 2008, we’ve operated our Cuban cigar shop online, quietly building a reputation for authenticity, consistency, and expertise. We’re not here for the spotlight, we’re here for the aficionados who know the difference between a good cigar and a great one. The kind of clients who can tell a Partagás Serie D No. 4 from the aroma alone.
We are one of the few Cuban cigar shop in Cuba who aren’t state-owned. That independence gives us flexibility—but also demands a higher standard. Our office in Switzerland operates under Tabacalera, which owns 50% of Habanos S.A., and that connection has allowed us to work directly with Habanos S.A. over the years. It’s not a privilege handed out lightly, and we treat it with the reverence it deserves.
Opening a Cuban cigar shop in Havana back in 2008 wasn’t just a business decision—it was about staying close to the source, to the heartbeat of cigar culture. Cuba may be the soul of the cigar world, yet it accounts for only 5–7% of global Cuban cigar sales, according to data released annually at the Habanos Festival. And within that modest percentage lies something rare: a remarkable selection of cigars—boxes and vitolas that rarely reach the shelves of international retailers.
By establishing ourselves in Havana, we ensured access to a broader, more exclusive range of cigars—not just the ones allocated through our office in Switzerland, which typically include Global Brands, Volume Brands, and a few Value Brands, but also the hidden gems that never leave the island. These are the cigars reserved for those who are present when they arrive—cigars that disappear quickly, often within hours, as Chinese retailers fly in and buy up hundreds of boxes at once, leaving little for the rest of the world.
To navigate this competitive landscape, we offer a service tailored specifically to help secure high-demand cigars. Check out our Partner Page to learn more about how we can help you gain access others can’t.
To ensure we can consistently meet the expectations of our clients—those who value quality, and reliability—we’ve made the hard choice to price our cigars slightly above the average you’ll find in Cuban cigar shop in Cuba. Not because we want to, but because we must. That margin allows us to keep inventory flowing, maintain strong supplier relationships, and continue delivering the level of service our customers have come to expect since 2008.
What most don’t realize is that the island of Cuba accounts for less than 10% of all global cigar sales—a figure released each year during the annual Habanos Festival. Despite being the spiritual home of cigar culture, Havana remains a whisper in the global conversation of commerce. That’s why we encourage you to visit our Events & Tours Page.
Whether you can attend the festival in person or not, we can secure your spot and go on your behalf. The Habanos Festival is more than just an event—it’s the beating heart of Cuba’s cigar culture, where rare cigars are unveiled, master blenders share their secrets, and collectors gather from around the world.
Each attendee receives exclusive cigars and limited-edition accessories across the five-day celebration, often valued beyond the $5,000 ticket price. By attending on your behalf, we ensure you don’t miss out on these coveted releases, delivering them directly to your doorstep with the care and reverence they deserve.
Cuban Cigar Group is more than commerce. It’s about trust, tradition, and a promise kept—box by box, cigar by cigar.
