Cigar Wall: A Major Upgrade for Domrei Lounge

Named after the Khmer word for elephant (ដំរី), Domrei Lounge first opened its doors on April 20, 2024, as a cozy yet refined venue for cigars and cocktails inside the Novotel Sihanoukville. Initially, the lounge housed a single humidor with space for around 50 cigars. Less than a year later, on January 25, 2025, the venue received a major upgrade with the introduction of Cigar Wall—expanding to four full-size humidors and placing cigar operations under the management of The Pacific Cigar Company (PCC).


What to Expect at Cigar Wall

Cigar Wall aims to elevate the cigar experience in Sihanoukville, offering a carefully curated selection of Habanos cigars, a refined atmosphere, and expert service. Located within the Novotel, it provides a premium setting for both seasoned smokers and newcomers alike.

With a successful opening night behind it, Cigar Wall is now officially on the map. Expect a full review in the future as we return for an in-depth look at the venue’s offerings and ambiance.
