Celebrating Women in Cigar Culture
How Empire Social is redefining the lounge experience for everyone.
At Empire Social Lounge Las Olas, the experience has always been about more than cigars — it’s about community. The laughter, the conversations, the connections forged through smoke and shared stories. And now, Empire is opening that circle even wider, inviting more women into the culture through a new series of women-centric events and membership opportunities designed to celebrate inclusivity, sophistication, and connection.
Throughout South Florida, women are increasingly shaping the cigar scene — from enthusiasts who enjoy an occasional evening smoke to professionals building friendships over fine spirits and premium blends. Empire Las Olas recognizes that this evolution is not only exciting but essential to the growth of the culture itself.
The Promotion
For a limited time, Empire Social Lounge (Las Olas location) is offering 50% off new memberships for women, with full access to all lounge privileges and events. New members receive immediate access to the space, with their full membership year beginning January 1, 2026 — making now the perfect time to join.
This initiative isn’t about numbers; it’s about balance — creating an atmosphere where the cigar experience feels welcoming, modern, and alive with new perspectives.
The Value
Women bring a unique energy to the cigar lounge — a blend of curiosity, confidence, and community spirit. Whether it’s Ladies Night with Rocky Patel Cigars or a quiet evening over wine and conversation, these gatherings foster the same sense of camaraderie that has always defined Empire.
Through mentorship, shared rituals, and inclusive events, Empire is helping women explore and enjoy cigar culture with confidence — no intimidation, no gatekeeping, just genuine appreciation for the craft and connection it inspires.
Growing the Culture
South Florida’s cigar heritage runs deep, and its future depends on diversity — of people, stories, and experiences. By creating spaces where women feel empowered to participate, Empire Las Olas is ensuring that cigar culture continues to thrive in new, exciting ways.
The cigar lounge of today isn’t just a destination — it’s a reflection of modern luxury: refined, inclusive, and rooted in authentic human connection. Because at Empire, we don’t just light cigars. We light up conversations — and culture.
Looking ahead
Empire Las Olas is expanding its women-centric programming even further. In December, we’ll be hosting a special event with the Ladies Executive Golf Society, bringing together two vibrant communities for an evening of connection and celebration. And as we move into the new year, we’re planning a series of approachable, educational, and genuinely fun experiences for women throughout January and February — from cigar basics to guided tastings and lifestyle evenings designed to help new and seasoned aficionados feel at home in the lounge. This is just the beginning of a growing movement at Empire, and we’re excited to share what’s next.
