About

Armao Cigars was created to honor the values of success and dedication, weaving together the threads of achievement, enjoyment, and community. The name Armao, Sicilian in origin, represents battle, weapons, and armor—a symbol of strength, resilience, and the protection forged through life’s challenges.

The armor of life are not only the swords and shields carried into battle, but even more so the philosophies, beliefs, and assumptions we carry within—those that shape our decisions, define our character, and determine our path. Just as important as the battles we face is what we choose to protect—our peace, our purpose, and our mental well-being.

It reflects the journey of life—where ambition and determination drive us to reach new heights, but where true fulfillment is found in inner harmony—a balance of effort and peace. Protecting that balance is essential, and it is a principle that extends beyond the cigar itself into the way we live.

Each cigar is more than a luxury; it is a symbol of gratitude for the sacrifices made, the milestones achieved, and the people who walk alongside us. Through Armao Cigars, we celebrate not only individual victories, but also the relationships and connections that unite us as a community.

As the first generation of an Italian-American family offering this product, we take pride in blending heritage with innovation, crafting each cigar with the same passion and care that defines our family’s journey. As mental health nurse practitioners, founders Nicholas and Caitlin Armao understand the importance of protecting not only what we build, but who we are—mentally, emotionally, and spiritually.

This is only the beginning. We are committed to providing premium cigars that enrich the present while building a foundation for generations to come.

For family, for strength, and the future.
