About Emerald Ember Cigar Lounge

Emerald Ember Cigar Lounge was founded on a lifelong passion for premium cigars, fellowship, and the traditions that make cigar culture so special. As a Panama City local, United States veteran, and Certified Cigar Sommelier Tobacconist (CCST), owner Jason brings more than 30 years of experience in the cigar community to every aspect of the lounge.

Throughout those three decades, cigars have been more than a hobby—they have been a way to connect with people, build lasting friendships, celebrate milestones, and slow down long enough to appreciate life's important moments. That experience, combined with extensive cigar education and a commitment to the premium cigar lifestyle, inspired the creation of Emerald Ember.

Our mission is simple: to create the premier cigar destination on Florida's Emerald Coast—a place where enthusiasts of all experience levels can gather, relax, learn, and enjoy exceptional cigars in a welcoming and comfortable environment.

At Emerald Ember, you'll find a carefully curated humidor featuring respected boutique and premium cigar brands, a refined lounge atmosphere, membership opportunities, educational experiences, and a community built around a shared appreciation for the leaf.

As a veteran-owned and locally owned business, we are proud to invest in the community we call home. Whether you're a seasoned aficionado or lighting your first premium cigar, our goal is to provide an experience that encourages conversation, connection, and camaraderie.
