About Queen Ember
Meet the Founder
Queen Ember was founded by Jaime L. Jones, a proud Black female entrepreneur and 20-year United States Army veteran whose vision, discipline, and passion are at the heart of the brand.
What began as a lifelong dream of opening a wine bar evolved after Jaime discovered a deeper appreciation for cigar culture. That passion sparked a more distinctive concept—one blending the elegance of wine with the richness and tradition of premium cigars, elevated hookah, and modern lounge hospitality.
Queen Ember is more than a business. It is a statement of perseverance, elevated taste, and the desire to build something lasting for Hawaiʻi.
Our Vision
Hawaiʻi’s Premier Luxury Lounge
Our vision is to create a destination guests return to not only for premium cigars, curated wines, and hookah, but for the atmosphere, service, and sense of belonging that define the Queen Ember experience.
