About Our Client

Established in 2005, CigarPlace.com is an international specialty internet retailer that provides “best-in-class” premium cigars, while offering affordable pricing along with the most obsessed “our customers come first” service in the business. Founded by Julian Gomez, he began with a dream as a one-man show going door-to-door selling cigars to small tobacco shops in Miami.

In 18 short years, Julian has hustled his way to who we are today – one heck of a premier, specialty cigar e-commerce company serving thousands of cigar geeks and enthusiasts from around the world by offering a product catalog of over 10,000 items to choose from. The Cigar Place is best known for our wide selection of cigars matched with “you can’t believe this deal” pricing. We are happily located just north of West Palm Beach in beautiful Stuart, Florida, where sailfish and simple afternoons by the water rule this small intra-coastal gem on the Treasure Coast.
