The Bondi Privada story began in 1977, when Joe Bondi first stepped into the cigar
business. He didn’t know where the path would take him or who he’d meet along the
way—but one thing was certain: he was in love with the craft.
In an industry built on tradition and family, Joe knew early on that he wanted to create
something of his own—something lasting.
That vision began to take shape one cold February night in 1984 with the birth of his
son, Justin. Eleven years later, in 1995, Joe’s dream came to life when he launched his
own cigar company. With his wife Helene by his side, the Bondi family business was
born.
Today, Bondi Privada Cigars are a testament to decades of dedication. Each cigar is
expertly blended using the finest Nicaraguan tobaccos and hand-crafted to deliver an
unforgettable experience. With three distinct blends to choose from, there’s something
for every palate.
After 45 years in the Canadian cigar industry, we know what matters—flavour,
consistency, and value. Whether your celebrating with friends or enjoying a quiet
moment alone, a Bondi Privada cigar is more than a smoke—it’s a story.
So the next time you light up, share your story—and become part of ours.
