Established in 2007 Cigar Empire III opened in 2007 with the intention of creating a friendly environment where cigar smokers could relax in comfortable club chairs and enjoy a large selection of premium cigars. Owner Sam Atalah has brought together both well-known and boutique cigars in the largest humidor in the greater Santa Barbara area. With ample room to sit and smoke, customers watch a 50" television while smoking their favorite cigars or discovering new cigars at affordable prices. "I wanted to create a great cigar and tobacco shop in Santa Barbara, like the ones I've always enjoyed in other great cities," Sam has admitted. "When I came to town there wasn't anything like it, so I'm happy we've been so successful -- we've enjoyed continual growth thanks to our loyal customers." Cigar Empire III is Santa Barbara's finest cigar and tobacco store thanks to Sam's dedication to excellence and the satisfied customers who appreciate the personalized service and friendly atmosphere
