About Hemingway Cigars
The premium indoor cigar lounge in the San Gabriel Valley.
A refined sanctuary where cigar enthusiasts connect, relax, and savor premium cigars in Arcadia, California.
Our Story
Hemingway Cigars draws inspiration from the bold, enduring legacy of Ernest Hemingway — capturing the essence of adventure and masterful craftsmanship.
Located at 26 N. First Ave in Arcadia, California, our venue builds upon the strong foundation laid by Robusto Cigars, which served the community with distinction for 13 years since opening its doors in 2012.
Founded by Matthew McDavid and Daniel Coats in 2025, Hemingway transformed the space into an 1,100-square-foot haven of rugged elegance — featuring warm ambient lighting and vintage décor reminiscent of the 1870s to 1940s.
