Established in 1996 The Cigar Republic is a family-owned and operated premium cigar retail shop and private lounge. As third generation Tobacconists, the Scipioni brothers opened their first shop in 1996. Having humble beginnings in Elmsford, NY, we have now opened our second location in Danbury, CT! From the knowledge and experiences of being in the cigar industry for seventeen years, we look forward to serving Danbury and the surrounding areas.
