Our History

Virgin Cigars was established in the summer of 2017 by then owner Oscar Arrizola. Oscar has over 14 years of experience in cigars and has a true love for the stick. After many years working for other cigar shop owners, he wanted to create his own place where he could continue the tradition of gathering amongst friends to enjoy great cigars and the love of great conversation.

In 2020 Oscar partnered with John Gilmore to expand his dream and recreate his original store.  This new store with a walk in humidor, is well stocked with some of the finest cigars. This expansion includes the opening of a new private Perdomo Premium Cigar Lounge with an atmosphere that could rival other distinguished and upscale lounges around the world. You will find a quiet upscale lounge with TV's, music, great seating and open deck to have a smoke outside on those beautiful North Carolina afternoons.
