Cohiba Cigar Lounge Opens at The Ritz-Carlton Bacara, Santa Barbara

The Cohiba Experience at Bacara came together after more than two years of development. The new take on the classic cigar lounge has a quintessential cigar list featuring Cohiba, and other luxury cigars. Boasting breathtaking ocean views, a finely-curated cocktail, and wine list, the lounge epitomizes exclusivity.

Christopher Tarr, vice president of marketing for Scandinavian Tobacco Group, which owns the Cohiba brand in the US, said, "Cohiba has always been a brand that elevates tradition, and our partnership with the Ritz-Carlton honors this commitment. Together, we have created a unique new take on the classic cigar lounge."

Cohiba's Experience includes:

• Distinct, hand-painted murals
• Comfortable seating
• Luxurious fire pits 
• A walk-in cedar-lined humidor
• An array of masterfully crafted cigars from Cohiba and other respected brands

Meticulously handcrafted and proudly featuring the iconic red dot logo, Cohiba cigars are crafted by artisans passionately committed to producing cigars of the highest quality. Cohiba cigars have become synonymous with extravagant taste, made from the finest, hand-selected, aged tobacco and blended to create rich, dimensional smoking experiences.

The Cohiba cigar lounge will be open to hotel guests, club members, and the public, Wednesday through Sunday, from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m.
