In the world of luxury, there are rituals that transcend trends. Among them is cigar culture—a moment when time slows down and the atmosphere gains a special dimension.
With the opening of the first Montenegrin cigar lounge within Maestral Resort & Casino, Montenegro gains a new meeting place for cigar enthusiasts and those who appreciate a refined way of enjoying life. In collaboration with the local brand Tempus Cigars, this space brings together luxury, tradition, and authentic cigar culture.
Tempus is the first Montenegrin premium cigar, created from the idea of placing Montenegro on the map of global destinations for cigar lovers. The name Tempus, which means time in Latin, symbolizes a moment when the pace of the day slows down and attention is devoted to aroma, conversation, and atmosphere.
Behind every Tempus cigar lies a process that requires patience and precision. The cigars are handmade in Nicaragua, in the El Viejo Continentale factory in Estelí, using carefully selected tobacco that ages for three years before becoming part of the final blend. The final collection was developed after testing more than 80 different blends, resulting in eight carefully selected Tempus variants.
Tempus therefore combines a Montenegrin concept with the long tradition of Nicaraguan cigar craftsmanship. The brand respects the heritage of cigar culture while interpreting it through a contemporary identity—from its thoughtfully designed visual expression to elegant packaging that further emphasizes the product’s exclusivity.
This philosophy naturally fits into the ambiance of Hotel Maestral. As one of the most prestigious destinations on the Montenegrin coast, Maestral is already recognized as a place where luxury, discretion, and exceptional service meet. The new cigar lounge further enriches this experience, creating a space where the cigar becomes part of a broader story about the culture of enjoyment.
In this setting, the cigar takes its central place—accompanied by a carefully selected glass of drink, a view of the sea, and conversations that last longer. It is precisely in these moments that the philosophy of the Tempus brand finds its full meaning: time that does not rush and enjoyment that lingers.
