The Skinny Bastarda Cigar is here, and it’s breaking the mold. Crafted for bold flavor and a sleek, approachable smoke, it’s perfect for anyone — especially women looking for a welcoming cigar experience. Join us at Empire Social Lounge for our upcoming women-focused events and see why cigars are for everybody.

From the red carpet at the Fort Lauderdale International Film Festival to a full celebration back at the lounge, EMPIRE tells the story of how a simple idea grew into a thriving community at Empire Social Lounge in the Las Olas and Brickell districts of South Florida.

Step inside the Empire Las Olas humidor and meet Steve Annessi, the tobacconist behind many of our cigar recommendations. From guiding first time smokers to helping members expand their palate, Steve shares how cigars and the conversations around them create the experience that keeps guests coming back.
