Many cigar lovers will see their dreams come true next spring, with the opening of the Monte-Carlo Cigar Club, located inside the legendary Casino de Monte-Carlo
This venture is the result of a prestigious collaboration between Monte-Carlo Société des Bains de Mer – a collection of hotels that epitomise the Monegasque art de vivre – and Dominique London, a major player in luxury cigar distribution. Together, they aim to create a unique club with a refined and exclusive atmosphere
The club will be located in the former office of François Blanc, the founder of the Société des Bains de Mer in 1863, and will span over 200 square metres. It will feature a smoking lounge, a bar, a walk-in humidor and a magnificent terrace overlooking the Hôtel de Paris Monte-Carlo and the Mediterranean Sea. The esteemed Moinard Bétaille agency – famed for its work on project such as One Monte-Carlo
Has been entrusted with the design, while the humidor will be crafted by DeART, a specialist in bespoke cigar humidors. This state-of-the-art room will protect cigars aged at least three years and house more than 35,000 collector’s items! Access to the club will be strictly reserved for sponsored members, granting only a select few the opportunity to enjoy a rare selection of cigars from the finest Cuban or Nicaraguan long-filler producers.

The project aligns with Monte-Carlo Société des Bains de Mer’s strategy to expand internationallywhile bringing unique luxury experiences to Monaco. The Monte-Carlo Cigar Club is set to become a world leader in its field, a sanctuary where elegance, heritage and enjoyment combine, to the delight of cigar enthusiasts.
