Cigar Culture in Connecticut: Inside The Commissioner

Cigars, bourbon, and live jazz — it’s a perfect harmony. In this episode, we travel to The Commissioner Cigar Lounge in Waterbury, Connecticut, to sit down with proprietor Felix Manuel Rodriguez — the heart and soul behind one of CT’s most welcoming cigar communities. Felix shares how he turned a lifelong love of cigars and people into a destination lounge, why the cigar world feels like “the brothers (and sisters) of the leaf,” and how the lounge became a place where community comes first — no matter your background. We talk rare smokes (including Cohiba Spectres), the game-changing impact of their liquor permit, and the unique events that keep the lounge buzzing — from comedy nights to cultural guest appearances and fundraising for local causes. Felix also opens up about the personal journey that shaped his purpose: his connection to Muhammad Ali, a once-in-a-lifetime story involving his son, and why he believes relationships are the best investment you can make. 📍 The Commissioner Cigar Lounge 350 Fairfield Avenue, Waterbury, CT 🕛 Open 7 days a week (opens at noon) If you’ve ever wondered what makes a cigar lounge feel like home — this one’s for you.
