Our Story

Bringing the finest Cuban cigars together in a single specialist shop, run by people who actually smoke them — that is what HABANO & ALMA set out to do.

HABANO & ALMA is the cigar house of CLEAR MIST S.L.UNIPERSONAL, an independent company based in Madrid. We are not part of any franchise network, we hold no official distribution title, and we do not trade on anyone else’s name. What we have is a shop, a short and carefully chosen selection, and the conditions to keep it properly.

Our shop is in the Usera district of Madrid, at Calle de Antonio López, 234, Puerta BJ. It is given over entirely to premium Cuban cigars, alongside a small selection of spirits and accessories chosen to sit beside them.

We would rather carry a short list we know intimately than a catalogue we have never smoked. Every reference we list is here because we chose it — for the way it smokes today, not only for the name on the band.

Condition is half the cigar. Everything we sell is held and conditioned by us before it is dispatched: 16–18 °C, 65–70 % relative humidity, cedar-lined humidified cabinets, away from direct light, heat and vibration.

HABANO & ALMA is, above all, a place to meet and to share a passion.

In the shop you will find current Habanos references, limited editions when we are able to obtain them, and the occasional aged or collectible box — together with storage advice and unhurried, personal service.

Advice is free and always available on request. If you are hesitating between two boxes, putting together a gift, or filling a humidor from scratch, tell us what you drink, how much time you have and what you smoked last. That conversation is worth more than any score out of a hundred.

Every box we sell leaves us sealed, with the Cuban national warranty seal intact — unless you have asked us to open one in order to supply single cigars. The code on that seal can be checked by anyone, free of charge, on the official Cuban verification service.

We are a small team and we answer our own messages. If you write to us, a human will read it.

“The cigar, and the art of tasting it, is a craft we take up again every single day.”
