The business presents itself as a social gathering space built around premium cigars, describing its venues as a “living room” where guests are invited to relax. Its stated philosophy draws on a quote attributed to Zino Davidoff: “Smoke less, but better. Turn that process into philosophy.” The operation also references a related downtown venue, The Ariston Bar.
Services
The lounges center on premium cigars and an in-house smoking environment. According to the company’s own pages, the staff focus on educating guests, stating they “are passionate about cigars and strive to educate our guests about what they are smoking, how they are smoking, and why they are smoking.” The website highlights the Davidoff brand among its offerings and describes a ventilated smoking lounge, draft beer service, cigar accessories, and a walk-in humidor. The business frames the cigar experience as a communal one, noting that “Cigars bring people together.” Beyond the two cigar lounges, the company points visitors to The Ariston Bar, a downtown Nashville venue described as offering cocktails, spirits, and premium cigars.
