It was early 2010, and Demian and Mike were working hard as technicians at a local bicycle shop.
Then one day, Mike had a crazy idea…
Every now and then, they’d dream and discuss about how instead of working, they’d rather be enjoying a choice cigar.
That idea was that they should both quit their jobs and go into business together - as cigar lounge owners. Demian just laughed and they continued working.
But after a few days of dreaming about the good life…
Demian and Mike both admitted they couldn't stop entertaining the idea of founding a shop where people could get a great cigar and enjoy it comfortably in the same location.
Eventually, they couldn’t fight it.
And with decades of exposure to every type of cigar and cigar shop environment, plus years of experience in business, retail, and design, the two gentlemen were armed and ready to make a dream into a reality. After two solid years of research and development, Cigar and Lounge, LLC opened their doors in May of 2012 to offer an environment to anyone who enjoys quality cigars at their finest.
