A MUST VISIT for tobacco lovers looking for a peaceful place within a restless world.
This location has an impressive collection of extraordinary cigars paired with exquisite furniture and thoughtfully curated accouterments.
I enjoyed a stunning Peter James Emergence by recommendation.

As someone who travels frequently and enjoys visiting cigar lounges from D.C. to Hawaii, I’ve come to appreciate the nuances that separate a good lounge from a great one — atmosphere, selection, and most importantly, hospitality. While this lounge is nicely appointed and carries a decent variety of cigars, the experience was completely overshadowed by the behavior of the staff.
From the moment my wife and I walked in, we were met with a cold, dismissive attitude that bordered on outright hostility. It was clear we weren’t welcome, and the staff made no effort to hide it. Instead of the warm, laid-back vibe that defines the cigar culture, we were met with condescension and rudeness.
What’s even more telling is how many other 1-star reviews echo this same experience. It’s a shame, really — the place has potential, but the staff clearly doesn’t understand or care about the hospitality aspect of this business.
There are far better lounges out there that respect and welcome their patrons. I won’t be returning, and I suggest anyone who values being treated decently take their business elsewhere.

It's definitely an upscale cigar lounge. I'm so used to cutting a lighting my cigar, I was thrown off when the gentleman offered a cut and light. The beer selection was great, and I saw some really good bottles of wine. $70 for a Lost City was hard to shake.
I love Tatuaje, and they had Drac & Jason lancero cigars, so that was a win.
Be careful if you bring a stick from outside as it's a $20 fee to cut a cigar you bring from outside. I understand it, tho. It helps to deter people from just coming into the lounge smoking and not purchasing anything.
Does this count if I buy a cigar one day and come in to smoke it the next day?

MISOGYNISTS DO NOT GO HERE. They told my wife that women are not allowed to speak loudly or cuss. There were plenty of men cussing and speaking at the top of their lungs. My wife was talking to me and telling a story, and yes she cursed, but at plenty of distance from everyone else. The worker came up and told her that women were not allowed to cuss and she needed to be quiet. It’s a cigar bar full of men cussing and being loud. She was the only woman there and to come up to tell her that was absolutely wild. I have never experienced something like this before. Will never go back!!
