A cigar isn’t just a smoke—it’s a statement. It reflects who you are, how you relax, and what you value. Whether you’re unwinding after a long day or celebrating a milestone, the right cigar enhances the moment.
At DT1920, Beirut’s premier luxury cigar lounge, we believe that choosing a cigar is an art form, and we’re here to help you make the right choice.

1. Understand the Basics: Strength, Flavor & Size
– Strength: Cigars range from mild to full-bodied.
– Mild: Smooth, light, perfect for beginners or a daytime smoke
– Medium: Balanced and flavorful—ideal for social occasions
– Full-bodied: Intense, rich, best for seasoned smokers
– Flavor Profiles:
Think of cigars like wine. Notes of earth, spice, leather, chocolate, coffee, nuts, and even floral hints can all be found.
– Size (Vitola):
A cigar’s length and ring gauge affect how long it burns and how it tastes.
– Robusto: Short & bold – quick satisfaction
– Churchill: Long & smooth – a conversation cigar
– Toro or Corona: Balanced for any occasion

3. Ask the Right Questions
When choosing a cigar at DT1920, our sommeliers often ask:
– What time of day will you smoke it?
– Will you pair it with a drink (e.g. whiskey, sake, cocktail)?
– Are you looking to relax, celebrate, or impress?
This helps curate a personalized experience—every cigar should match your mood and moment.
