About SB Cigars: Our Story

We're Simon and Babak, two friends brought together by wanderlust.

It didn't begin with a business idea. It began with an evening. After a long journey, feet tired, heads full of impressions, we sat down, lit a cigar and simply did nothing. No schedule, no destination, just the hour ahead of us. That was the moment we realised: the best part of travelling isn't arriving. It's the pause along the way.

We wanted to hold on to that hour. So we started to take cigars seriously. We quickly noticed how much can go wrong in that world. Too often it's about status instead of enjoyment, about rules instead of joy, about who belongs and who doesn't. As if you had to earn the right to a good cigar.

We wanted to break with that.

An SB isn't a test you pass. It's an invitation. Whether you're holding a cigar for the first time or have been smoking for thirty years, you're equally welcome here. No fuss, no posturing, no jargon meant to make you feel small. Just an honestly good cigar and the quiet to enjoy it.
