Jeff Fry, Chief of Operations at Capital Cigar Lounge (CapitalCigar.com), has been with the business for 6.5 years and helps oversee humidor selection, staff education, and guest experience.
The Capital Cigar Lounge humidor is designed to balance the classics people know and enjoy with a curated selection of smaller boutique brands. A key differentiator is staff education. Kevin and Max are passionate about helping each guest find the right cigar, and that commitment extends across the entire team. All staff members complete cigar training led by Fry to ensure guests receive informed guidance and recommendations.
Cigar selection is determined through a thoughtful, data-driven approach. The team reviews sales trends, samples cigars directly from manufacturers, and incorporates feedback from both staff and customers. If a cigar meets the lounge’s standards, it is considered for placement in the humidor.
Capital Cigar Lounge welcomes guests of all experience levels, from longtime enthusiasts to those new to cigars. Staff members and regular guests often share recommendations, and Fry hosts Cigar 101 sessions designed to help newcomers learn the basics and feel more comfortable exploring different options.
