Event Recap: FineTobaccoNYC & Hispanola Cigar at XO Cigar Lounge

XO Cigar Lounge, Bronx NY

On Saturday, January 28th, the FineTobaccoNYC crew celebrated the grand opening of X.O. Cigar Lounge, a beautiful lounge located in the Bronx. If you haven’t been, be sure to drop by their website for more information and make your way out.  As one cigar aficionado said of the shop owners, “they did this right.” Approximately 50 cigar smokers attended the event, including members of New York’s Grown & Sexy Cigar Group. The event was sponsored by Hispanola Cigars. We were privileged to enjoy the company of President Hugo Melo, as well as Michel Dominguez.
