Before any Cave opens

Site by site. No shortcuts.

A state having cigar bars does not make a freestanding Cave lawful at any given property. Before a Cave can take a single real booking, its exact site must clear:

Smoking and tobacco-use legality
Tobacco retail licensing, if cigars are sold
Age-verification requirements
Zoning and use approval
Building permit or modular approval
Structural and foundation sign-off
Fire approval
Ventilation commissioning
Electrical approval
Accessibility review
Insurance
Property owner authorization

Hurricane package markets

Every Cave is engineered for the applicable high-wind and hurricane requirements at its deployment site. A full high-wind/hurricane engineering package is expected in:

Miami, FL
Tampa, FL
Houston, TX
New Orleans, LA
