Maduro

What Maduro does

Maduro is a privately operated, single-location cigar lounge and whisky bar located in the Lower Lobby of Sofitel Singapore Sentosa Resort & Spa at 2 Bukit Manis Rd, Singapore. Founded in 2019 by Mr. P, an entrepreneur with a background spanning piano performance, real estate, and previous hospitality ventures (Robusto private cigar bar), the venue combines curated premium and rare whisky offerings, including Maduro Exclusives such as Eidolon Port Ellen 1983 and The Macallan 1989 Mizunara Cask Finish, with a Davidoff-branded retail corner and bar bites curated by Sofitel's culinary team.

The business operates five revenue streams: beverage sales (premium whiskies, cocktails, liquors), retail (Davidoff luxury accessories and exclusive bottles), private events (corporate appreciation, celebrations, launches, team meetings), masterclasses (whisky, rum, wine, and gin tastings led by ambassadors and connoisseurs), and food/bar bites. Live jazz is performed every Friday and Saturday from 8:30pm, positioning the venue as a cultural platform as well as a hospitality destination. Reservations are routed through SevenRooms, WhatsApp (+65 8645 7702), and direct email; pricing is not publicly disclosed.

Maduro serves a hybrid mix of affluent individual patrons (whisky connoisseurs, cigar enthusiasts, jazz lovers), corporate clients seeking exclusive event spaces, and retail shoppers purchasing gifts and collectible bottles. There are no disclosed funding rounds, no parent company, and the entity operates as a founder-led independent establishment with approximately 12 employees across a single Singapore venue.
