A Cuban Experience, Waukegan's Cigar Lounge

Smoke a cigar within the comfort of our lounge. A Cuban Experience began as a group of friends, Cigar aficionados and boaters. ft.
(636)

We would meet in the summer at Waukegan Harbor on beautiful Lake Michigan enjoying our cigars while sharing boating stories. What started as a summer time dock event quickly stretched into the off boating season. We continued to share our love of cigars with one another and before we knew it, we had formed a social smoking group that continued to grow in size. A few of our members have had the pri

vilege of touring manufacturing sites in Honduras and two years ago went to Cuba to visit Havana and the famous Robaina plantation. Over time, our cigar knowledge and experience grew into rolling cigars for our own enjoyment. We invested in a rolling machine , molds and a cigar press. We enjoyed ordering leaves, bunching, rolling and wrapping our own blends. We were quickly learning the best blends to put together and also which ones not too! Our friends enjoyed trying out new blends that we rolled and provided us with test market feedback. This drove our passion and desire to bring a one of a kind lounge and on-site rolling manufacturing facility to Waukegan, Illinois. We are currently in the application process for our Federal Manufacturing License. In June of 2015, A Cuban Experience moved to the next level and became Incorporated. We are currently in the process of opening our 5000 sq. Cigar Lounge and Retail Shop. We are located in the heart of downtown Waukegan, in a beautiful historic building on Genesee Street, just steps from the Historic Genesee Theatre in the Art and Theatre District
