Cigars at Pair Cigar Lounge & Boutique, Dubai

Pair is a curated cigar boutique and lounge inside Jumeirah Emirates Towers Hotel, on the G floor. The collection is built around premium cigars from the most respected origins — Cuba, the Dominican Republic, Nicaragua, Honduras, Mexico — and brought together with a sommelier-style approach: every reference is selected for blend, draw and burn, not for shelf-filling. Walk in to browse, sit down to smoke, or reserve online for collection — the boutique and the lounge work as one space.

A collection built around the great tobacco origins

The shelf at Pair runs across the whole map of premium tobacco. Cuban cigars anchor the heritage end of the catalog, with houses rolling leaves from the Vuelta Abajo into the formats they have built their reputation on for over a century. Dominican, Nicaraguan and Honduran cigars cover the broader spectrum of the New World — from the elegant balance of Cibao Valley blends, to the bold spice of Estelí and Jalapa, to the rich, earthy Honduran style. Mexican wrappers from the San Andrés valley appear across blends as the dark, sweet maduro layer that anyone smoking seriously eventually learns to appreciate.

Brands move through the same range. The catalog covers the foundational Cuban houses (Cohiba, Montecristo, Romeo y Julieta, Partagas, H. Upmann, Hoyo de Monterrey, Trinidad), the modern New World names (Padrón, Arturo Fuente, A.J. Fernandez, EP Carrillo, Alec Bradley), and the boutique releases (El Septimo, Gurkha and small-batch lines that come and go). Limited and allocated editions appear on the shelf in small quantities — keeping an eye on availability or asking us to reserve ahead is the practical way to secure them.

Stored the way they should be

Cigars are not tea or wine — they need a specific environment to stay alive. At Pair, every box and single is held in calibrated humidors at 65–72% relative humidity and 18–20°C. Each cabinet is monitored continuously and serviced on a routine, not on demand. What this means in practice: a cigar you collect from us has been resting in the right conditions from the moment it arrived from the manufacturer, and is ready to smoke without weeks of "settling" at home.

The lounge, not just the boutique

Half of Pair is a working cigar lounge. There is seating, the right kind of ventilation, decent glassware, and a team that understands that picking a cigar is an act of conversation, not a transaction. You can buy a single cigar and smoke it on the spot, ask for two cigars from different origins to compare side by side, or sit through a full Churchill with a coffee or a pour. The lounge is open every day from 11 AM to 1 AM — the same hours as the boutique.

How to shop, what to expect

Browse the catalog online and reserve what interests you, or arrive in person and let us walk you through the shelf. Inventory rotates frequently — especially limited and allocated boxes — so reserving ahead is the surest way to secure a specific reference. Pricing for individual cigars and full boxes is confirmed on request. We also stock the practical side of cigar smoking: cutters, V-cutters, punches, torch lighters, soft-flame lighters, ashtrays, travel cases and home humidors. Whatever you walk out with — a single Robusto for the evening or a humidor for the year — it leaves the boutique in the condition the maker intended.
