"An exclusive sophisticated positioned community of global connectivity, creativity, and cultural excellence that fosters collaboration and innovation"
the Society
​At INRGI, we believe true luxury begins within. We are more than a lifestyle brand.
We are a movement that bridges ceremony, presence, and legacy through curated experiences of cigars, coffee, community, and consciousness.
​
Founded by Herman and Shine Little, INRGI is the embodiment of refined Black excellence. It is where sacred union, cultural heritage, and elevated living meet.
From intimate gatherings like First Class Fridays in Dakar to private retreats and curated cigar experiences, every INRGI touchpoint is designed to awaken presence, deepen connection, and restore the art of elegant living.
​
At the heart of INRGI is a simple truth:
We are not here to sell products. We are here to revive ritual.
We invite tastemakers, leaders, and seekers from across Africa and the diaspora to step into a world where lifestyle is soulful, leadership is intentional, and every act, from lighting a cigar to raising a glass becomes a doorway to deeper purpose.
​
Whether you are drawn by the cigars, the conversations, or the quiet pull of something greater, INRGI welcomes you. This is a home for those who know that excellence can be defined about what you own, but even more of how you live.
Luxury with soul. Design with divinity. Lifestyle with legacy. This is INRGI.

Cigar Collection
At INRGI, cigars are more than a product. They are a portal.
Every cigar we select, pair, or present must honor the spirit, the soil, and the story behind it. We are not simply distributors. We are curators of sacred lifestyle experiences rooted in elegance, vibration, and ancestral reverence. We treat the cigar as a ceremonial tool. It calls for presence. It demands intention. It must be worthy of those who live with purpose and legacy.
We approach every cigar relationship through a distinct filter. Alignment must happen first on the energetic level, before anything economic or strategic is ever considered.
