Monte-Carlo Société des Bains de Mer and Belgian businesswoman Dominique Gyselinck will inaugurate the Monte-Carlo Cigar Club next spring.

“It’s a new concept that has never been done outside the United Kingdom,” explains Dominique Gyselinck. The businesswoman, who is at the head of twenty-six cigar and spirits shops across Europe with her group Dominique London, announces to L’Amateur the upcoming opening of a private club in partnership with Monte-Carlo Société des Bains de mer (SBM) one of the main players in the gaming sector in Europe and the leader in luxury tourism in the Principality of Monaco since 1863.

Located on the first floor of the Monte-Carlo casino, the club will be inaugurated next spring.

Named Monte-Carlo Cigar Club (MCCC), the members only club will have an indoor and outdoor surface area of more than 200 sq. m including a smoking room, a bar and a walk-in humidor, as well as a terrace facing the Mediterranean Sea.

Member recruitment has already begun. Dominique Gyselinck does not wish to communicate on the first names or on the amount of the annual subscription but she confides that “it will be an ultra exclusive club, the most exclusive in the world: artists, athletes, crowned heads, businessmen…”. Applicants will have to be sponsored by two members.

The interior architecture was entrusted to the Parisian firm Moinard-Bétaille, which worked in collaboration with Italy’s DeArt for the humidor.
