The Cigar Lounge

What The Cigar Lounge does

The Mobile Cigar Lounge is a veteran-owned mobile event services company founded in September 2018 and headquartered in Hopatcong, New Jersey. It delivers premium cigar, whiskey, and coffee experiences to private and corporate events, built around a fully restored 1973 Airstream trailer outfitted with climate control, ventilation, and lounge seating for 12-14 guests. The portfolio spans four core experiences — the Airstream mobile lounge, live cigar rolling with guest participation, expert-led whiskey tastings, and Arturo Fuente coffee pairings — which can be bundled or sold as add-ons for weddings, corporate gatherings, golf outings, and private celebrations. Strategic supplier relationships with J.C. Newman Cigar Company (since 2022) and Arturo Fuente anchor product sourcing, and the company's mission-driven identity is reinforced by its nonprofit Patriots of the Leaf, which has donated over $100,000 to military, first-responder, and community causes.

The business runs a concierge-led go-to-market model: customers download a Look Book, complete a JotForm event intake, receive a booking link and contract, and move through a multi-touch preparation sequence to event day. Pricing is quote-based with a 2-hour minimum; the Airstream is $200/hour beyond the minimum, team members are $150/hour each, and packages start at minimum 20-30 cigars with bundle discounts up to $150. Customer acquisition blends direct outreach, preferred-vendor status with venues and event planners (Battello, Scotland Run, Bridgewater Manor, The Legacy Castle, and others), wedding vendor platforms (WeddingWire, The Knot, Zola), and earned media including a 2025 Fox & Friends national television feature.

The company operates as a privately held, founder-controlled entity with three co-founders (Joey Mac Dizon, Alvaro Patrick, Miley Massed), all combat veterans, and a team composition weighted toward veterans and first-responders. It claims service across all 50 U.S. states and territories, with primary concentration in New Jersey (multiple counties), New York (Orange County), and Florida (Broward, Palm Beach, Miami-Dade). Recognitions include the 2023 NJ State Veterans Chamber of Commerce award for Disabled Veteran Business under $3 million, the 2025 Top 50 Power Player honor at the Event Planner Expo, the 2026 WeddingWire Couples' Choice Award, and Whisk(e)y Ambassador and Tobacconist University certifications. No external funding rounds are disclosed.
