About Mardo Cigars
Mardo Cigars was built on legacy, passion, and respect for the craft of premium cigars. What began as a family-owned cigar shop has evolved into a nationally trusted destination for boutique, small-batch, and world-class cigars. We exist to serve both seasoned aficionados and curious newcomers with integrity, education, and consistency. Every cigar we offer is chosen with intention—never hype, never shortcuts. At Mardo, cigars are not just products; they are moments, rituals, and experiences meant to be savored slowly and shared generously.
OUR STORY
A Family Legacy, Carried Forward
For over three decades, Mardo Abajian dedicated his life to the art of cigars, running a storefront built on trust, knowledge, and genuine relationships. When Mardo passed in 2015, his son Gerard honored that legacy by reimagining the brand for a new era. Rooted in the same values but designed for the modern cigar smoker, Mardo Cigars expanded from a local shop into a nationwide online retailer. Today, every decision reflects the same promise Mardo made decades ago: quality first, always.
OUR PHILOSOPHY
What We Stand For
We believe premium cigars deserve honesty, transparency, and respect. That means fair pricing, proper storage, and thoughtful recommendations—not marketing noise. We work closely with boutique manufacturers and respected brands to bring cigars that represent craftsmanship, consistency, and character. Whether mild or full-bodied, classic or experimental, every cigar we carry earns its place. Our goal is simple: help you discover cigars you’ll love today—and remember tomorrow.
MARDO’S TECHNICAL RATING SYSTEM
How We Evaluate a Cigar
At Mardo Cigars, we evaluate cigars using a clear, technical approach designed to help smokers choose with confidence. We break each cigar down into Power, Characteristics, and Finish. Power measures intensity and body. Characteristics define flavor, aroma, draw, and complexity. Finish captures how the cigar lingers on the palate. These elements are independent, subjective, and equally important. This system isn’t about scoring—it’s about understanding, appreciating, and enjoying cigars on a deeper level.
QUALITY & CARE
Stored, Packed, and Shipped With Care
Every cigar at Mardo Cigars is stored in a properly humidified environment and shipped with Boveda to preserve optimal freshness. We take pride in careful handling from our humidor to your door. As a licensed, secure retailer, we strictly comply with age verification and tobacco regulations. Our responsibility goes beyond sales—we protect the integrity of every cigar we deliver, so it arrives exactly as the maker intended.
COMMUNITY & INTEGRITY
More Than a Cigar Shop
Mardo Cigars is built on relationships. With our customers, our partners, and the cigar community at large. We believe education creates better smokers, and better smokers build stronger communities. Whether through reviews, recommendations, or conversations, we’re here to guide—not pressure. Integrity defines how we operate, and respect defines how we serve. When you shop with Mardo, you’re part of something personal, intentional, and enduring.
