CLUB MACANUDO COMES TO PUERTO RICO

Club Macanudo Debuts First Caribbean Lounge in Exclusive Palmas del Mar Resort

HUMACAO, PR – Scandinavian Tobacco Group (STG) and Entre Humos LLC have officially partnered to bring Club Macanudo to the Caribbean, marking the brand’s first location in the region. The newly rechristened Club Macanudo Puerto Rico, located at the Palmas del Mar Yacht Club in Humacao, offers a sophisticated retreat for cigar enthusiasts and travelers alike.

Nestled within the luxurious Palmas del Mar resort community, Club Macanudo Puerto Rico delivers a relaxed, scenic atmosphere combined with the premium quality and service the brand is known for. Guests can enjoy a curated cocktail bar, a temperature-controlled humidor wall, and an outdoor terrace with stunning marina views—creating an unmatched cigar experience for the island’s many visitors.

Beyond serving visiting cigar enthusiasts, Club Macanudo Puerto Rico was conceived with deep respect for the Palmas del Mar community and its residents, who have helped shape the resort into one of the island’s most complete lifestyle destinations—home to two hotels, two championship golf courses, a world‑class marina, and a vibrant residential community. The lounge is designed to complement Palmas del Mar’s standards of quality and hospitality, offering a refined gathering place that feels native to the resort.

Club Macanudo Puerto Rico’s retail selection has been curated to feature a collection of Macanudo cigars including the popular Inspirado line, a global best-seller. The Club also stocks a selection of Scandinavian Tobacco Group’s most popular brands including CAO, Cohiba, and Alec Bradley.

“Puerto Rico sees a constant flow of travelers who already understand premium cigars,” said Cándido Alfonso, CEO of Entre Humos LLC. “Club Macanudo Puerto Rico is designed to serve those customers properly—people who expect a serious humidor, knowledgeable service, and a setting that respects tradition.”

“We are thrilled to introduce Club Macanudo to Puerto Rico, a destination that shares our passion for quality and hospitality,” said Chris Tarr, Vice President of Marketing Global HMC at Scandinavian Tobacco Group. “This new location embodies the spirit of the island while delivering the elevated experience that defines Club Macanudo worldwide.”

Club Macanudo Puerto Rico is currently in its soft opening phase, with expanded programming planned throughout 2026, including curated tastings, private events, and experiences aligned with the region’s vibrant golf and yachting communities.
