Behind the Scenes with... Connecticut Cigar Company

What makes Connecticut Cigar special to Stamford Downtown? The co-owner himself, Nick, gives us an intimate view...

Describing the Connecticut Cigar Company in one sentence is not easy. There are several aspects to this unique business located in a charming, Turn of The Century building on historic Bank Street at 43 Bank.

Upon entering the retail location one will notice the marque of the business, their own brand of cigars, hand rolled on premises by their chief roller, who maintains his cigar rolling station in the front window - in full view of all amazed passerbys.

The cigars have turned into a favorite for many area cigar aficionado's and allows for other avenues of this business to flourish such as the C3 Lounge.

Located in the back half of the Connecticut Cigar Company, the C3 Lounge is everything a cigar lounge should be, cool, vibey, eloquent and comfortable. With leather couch seating for 25+ people, 2- 42 inch flat screen tvs and a constant shuffle of Blues, Jazz, Cuban/Latin, Trip Hop and FRANK SINATRA era classic music, one can't help but enjoy a cigar, the surroundings, the social setting and life in general. While it is a members lounge, non-members can frequent based on availability.

As entertaining as it is to stop into the Connecticut Cigar Company, the "show" goes on the road as well. Cigar Rolling has become quite the sensation at festive events... think weddings, special birthday parties, golf outings...etc. With his authentic look and unwrapped cigars in molds, the Cigar Roller's presence, along with the informative and knowledgeable attendant, leaves a very long lasting and memorable impression.


Here is the rest.

Peter Falcetti (partner), who grew up in a "Cigars represent celebrating life and all things good" environment, envisioned the concept of Connecticut Cigar Company. He wanted to recreate in downtown Stamford some of his favorite times in the NYC Cigar Lounges. This idea was then coupled with the "Cigar Roller on premises concept" after spending several afternoons on vacation in St. Marten fascinated by a local Cigar Roller.

Nick Casinelli (partner) enjoys and understands entertainment. After spending 20+ years as an executive in the music business, he decided to partner in the Connecticut Cigar Company. A very natural transition as smoking Cigars is not only about the quality of the Cigars but also about the quality of the company you smoke with and the environment you smoke the Cigar in.Stop by for a cigar you will enjoy.
