Founded by entrepreneur Dhirien Shah, Karma Cigar Bar was born from a vision to redefine the cigar lounge experience — blending the sophistication of premium cigars with the warmth of genuine hospitality. Our journey began as a small tobacco shop, but through passion, grit, and a commitment to quality, we’ve transformed into one of Northwest Indiana’s premier cigar lounges, offering a curated selection of over 600 premium cigar products, boutique spirits, and exclusive membership experiences.
What truly sets us apart is our attention to the complete experience. From our hand-selected cigar inventory that spans from the classics like Padron and Davidoff to exciting infused blends, to our thoughtfully crafted bourbon and whiskey pairings — every detail at Karma is designed to create meaningful moments. We are not just selling cigars; we are selling ritual, relaxation, and connection.
The story of Karma Cigar Bar is also a story of community. Over the years, we’ve cultivated a loyal following of members and guests who return not just for the products but for the sense of belonging. Our lounge hosts regular live music nights, cigar and bourbon pairing events, VIP member socials, golf outings, and even backyard tented cigar parties. Whether it’s a small private gathering or a 150-person banquet, we help our guests create memories that linger long after the smoke fades.
But our passion doesn’t stop at the lounge doors. Karma Cigar Bar continues to grow its e-commerce platform, offering customers across the United States access to their favorite cigars and accessories with the convenience of online ordering. This blend of brick-and-mortar charm with digital accessibility keeps us connected to our customers near and far.
Dhirien Shah’s leadership philosophy draws inspiration from history and strategy, often reflecting on lessons from Chanakya’s Arthashastra — valuing wisdom, adaptability, and long-term relationships over transactional business. This mindset fuels Karma’s ongoing mission: to offer not just cigars, but a lifestyle rolled in richness, poured with aged wisdom, and smoked with purpose.
We believe that every customer interaction is an opportunity to share knowledge, introduce new flavors, and build relationships — whether through a guided cigar selection for a first-timer or a personalized concierge service for our VIP and Executive Members.
