About Us
A Passion for Timeless Traditions
Churchill Cigar lounge is the passion project of Matthew Raptis, who also owns Raptis Rare Books and the Via Roma Cafe, located adjacently in the Via Roma of Worth Avenue in Palm Beach. In such a fast-paced world, our aim is to offer people a slower world-class experience. Stop and browse and remember the books that shaped your life. Enjoy the simple pleasures of a nice cup of Italian coffee and delicious food. Unwind while smoking a cigar and having meaningful conversations.
Contemplative Pleasures
Churchill Cigar Company was born out of a love of cigars and the beautiful times they create, and the cigar lounge will provide an unforgettable experience, as Palm Beach is one of the finest places in the world. Relaxing and enjoying a cigar is one of the true contemplative pleasures.
Cigar Aficionados
As you look around our lounge, we have portraits of many people who have shared our affection for cigars. Demi Moore once said, “There’s something about smoking a cigar that feels like a celebration. It’s like a fine wine. There’s a quality, a workmanship, a passion that goes into the smoking of a fine cigar.”
"I drink a great deal. I sleep a little, and I smoke cigar after cigar. That is why I am in two-hundred-percent form."
