If you are a cigar enthusiast visiting the city of Cartagena de Indias at Colombia the year could not have started better. The city is one of the most popular destinations in the country and its old forts, walls, colonial architecture, and atmosphere seem to invite visitors to enjoy a fine cigar.
Absolute Cigar Cartagena brought exactly what the city was missing; a spacious lounge with an excellent selection of cigars. The new shop is located in a three store colonial building that has 500 square meters and 5 different spaces that promise to please all types of smokers.
“We have visited the city and walked around every corner trying to find the perfect spot. When I saw this building, it was like falling in love at first sight and I knew I have found the perfect place” says Andy Santana, owner of the shop.
The shop has a mix of open and closed spaces with a special highlight for the rooftop that offers a beautiful view of the city’s old Spanish walls and the sunset in Cartagena.
The opening night featured distinguished guests such as Carlos Fuente Jr. and representatives of Caribe Imports, the official Habanos Importer to Colombia, among people coming from different countries and parts of Colombia.
Absolute Cigar Cartagena is a Habanos Specialist so it is a trustable source of Cuban cigars in the city. The humidor also offers the main lines of Arturo Fuente and Davidoff, both brands imported by Andy.
The location is another important aspect as the shop is at a strategic point. “We have the privilege to have a parking at the other side of the street, something very rare in this part of town, and we are close to the Convention Center, the Old City and the main luxury hotels in Cartagena” adds Andy.
The shop is the third branch of Absolute Cigar that opened its first one in Miami in 1997 and the second one at the city of Medellin, Colombia, in 2023.
