X at One Ocean, a luxury, members-only cigar club, is set to open in the heart of Miami Beach’s South of Fifth neighborhood. Located on the ground level of the iconic One Ocean condominium building, the club merges the exclusivity of a private social club with the culture of some of the world’s most sought-after cigars. Arturo Fuente — makers of the Fuente Fuente OpusX cigar—have granted the club the right to use the coveted “X” designation.
The decision followed a private visit by Carlos “Carlito” Fuente Jr., who personally experienced the club and its vision.“In our world, the ‘X’ stands for something rare—something that must be earned,” said Fuente. “When I experienced X at One Ocean, I saw a level of respect for the cigar tradition combined with a forward-thinking vision that is truly unique. It represents a new chapter in how this culture can be experienced. The ‘X’ is not given lightly. X at One Ocean brings something new, while honoring everything that matters. Cigars are about moments, about connection, about passion. X at One Ocean captures that spirit in a completely new way. It’s rare to see something that both respects tradition and advances the cigar culture forward.”
Elevating the experience, the club’s humidor program will be personally curated by Carlito Fuente.
Conceived by entrepreneur Linden Nelson, X at One Ocean was built to challenge every expectation of what a cigar lounge can be: “We didn’t set out to build another cigar lounge—we set out to create a completely new category,” said Nelson. “This is where private membership, world-class service, and a truly elevated cigar experience come together in a way that simply doesn’t exist anywhere else. We are not just selling cigars and cocktails; we are providing an experience.”
Inside, the club features seating for 54 members in a light-filled environment, appointed with custom Italian-made leather furnishings from the Saintluc line of Italian design house Amura. A defining feature of X at One Ocean is its expansive, private covered outdoor patio, accommodating up to 170 guests. Furnished exclusively with pieces from Spanish luxury design house Vondom, the outdoor experience blends comfort, design, and discretion.
Membership will unlock access to a curated calendar of private events, tastings, and bespoke experiences, both within the club and at exclusive locations around the world. Membership at X at One Ocean will be extremely limited, highly curated, and premium by design. Specific details regarding capacity and pricing have not been publicly disclosed.
