A Judgment-Free Lounge Built Around Community
Don't Judge Cigar Bar and Lounge opened on State Street in Bunnell in October 2025 with a clear idea: create more than a place to smoke a cigar. The goal was a real gathering place where cigar enthusiasts, newcomers, sports fans, friends, and neighbors could all feel at ease.
That spirit is carried by the owner, the staff, and the people who walk through the door. Guests can settle in without pretense, strike up a conversation, and enjoy an upscale atmosphere that still feels comfortable.
Veteran-Owned, Locally Engaged, and Growing With Purpose
The lounge is veteran-owned and rooted in Flagler County. Partnerships with local businesses and connections beyond the area help create new possibilities for events, collaborations, and the lifestyle brand that Don't Judge is becoming.
The People Behind the Welcome
A relaxed room does not happen by accident. It comes from people who greet guests well, keep the energy comfortable, and understand that hospitality can turn a first visit into a favorite place.
That is the standard behind the Don't Judge name. Meet the people who help make the atmosphere live up to it.
DJ | Owner and Founder
DJ is the driving force behind Don't Judge Cigar Bar and Lounge, where upscale style meets a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere. Born and raised in Orange, New Jersey, he brings discipline, leadership, and a strong commitment to community shaped by 32 years of service in the U.S. Army and counting.
His vision was to create more than a cigar lounge. He wanted people from all walks of life to have a place to come together, enjoy a quality cigar, unwind, and feel genuinely welcome. For DJ, Don't Judge is about good cigars, good people, and good energy, with no judgment at the door.
