Who We Are
We are the Northeast’s fastest-growing premium retail cigar lounges. Since 2008, we’ve expanded from our roots in Roslyn Heights to five premier locations including Massapequa, Hauppauge, Pennsylvania, and a rare flagship Davidoff of Geneva lounge in Brooklyn. We pride ourselves on offering the largest selection of premium cigars, exceptional luxury spaces, and an irreplaceable atmosphere. Whether a guest is cutting a cigar to stay or grabbing a few to go, they know they are getting an unmatched, world-class experience.
What We Are Looking For
We are seeking a positive, energetic, and sociable Retail Tobacconist to join our team in Hauppauge, Massapequa, or Roslyn Heights.
Our lounges are a home away from home for our guests; many of our regulars visit multiple times a week (or even a day!). You won't just ring up transactions, you'll build genuine relationships.
The Ideal Candidate:
- Has an existing passion for cigars or an eager willingness to learn everything about the cigar world.
- Thrives in a client-facing role and possesses a natural hospitality mindset.
- Ideally has a background in luxury retail, premium sales, bartending, or high-end hospitality.
What’s the Job?
As a Retail Tobacconist, your mission is to guide guests to their next favorite smoke and deliver an experience that keeps them coming back.
Key Responsibilities:
- Curate the Experience: Engage with guests, learn their preferences, and use sales insights to make personalized recommendations.
- Maintain the Standard: Keep our walk-in humidors perfectly stocked, organized, and immaculate.
- Ambiance Control: Ensure the lounge is pristine (dust-free tables, tidy fixtures) and monitor the climate/ventilation systems for optimal comfort.
- Autonomous Operations: Efficiently manage the shop, opening/closing procedures, and daily upkeep during independent shifts.
Position Requirements
- Age: Must be 21 or older (due to the nature of our products).
- Environment: This is a smoke-friendly environment. While we have state-of-the-art ventilation, the ability to comfortably tolerate tobacco smoke is a must.
- Drive: A strong sense of self-motivation. You will work independently on most shifts, requiring proactive attention to cleaning, restocking, and merchandising between guests.
