Had an overnight in Baton Rouge and randomly drove by here, so I had to check it out. I did a quick Google search and saw that they offered everything I was looking for; food, drinks, sticks. Visually, the place is great, the bartender (didn't catch her name) was super sweet and the owner came up, shook my hand and welcomed me. It wasn't too crowded, probably because it was fairly early on a Thursday (late afternoon/early evening). I could tell that all the people there were professionals. The music wasn't too loud, the place wasn't too dark. Unfortunately, all the food items I saw on the menu appeared to be part of a limited menu that changes. There were only two dishes being offered that night. In addition, they do not yet have an actual humidor. They just had a shelf on the wall with a VERY limited selection. In all fairness, based on my Google search, the place has only been open a few months and the owner told me that they will be putting a walk-in humidor soon. With that said; I will definitely give this place a second chance next time I'm in town. I'd love to hang out and talk to some of the local professionals.

I fly in and out of BTR for work. This is my go to spot when I stay at the nearby hotel before flying out of BTR. The bartender and owner are so welcoming and friendly. They definitely take good care of you and treat you like a friend from the moment you walk in. Had great conversations and lots of laughs. I’ve only been there on Thursday nights and it’s relaxing, intimate and a great place to have a few cocktails. And the awesome bartender even made sure I made it safely back to my hotel! Thank you!! 😁
Nice space, small selection of non humidifier gars. Kitchen was open. Came for my Birthday June 2022. Will visit again another night to give another review.
I attended a birthday party here. The cigar bar and restaurant are separate. The atmosphere is contemporary, and the space is clean and large. You can book parties, meetings, and networking opportunities here. I have known the owner and developer of Montecristo, Gerald Coleman, since elementary school. I knew then he would do great things, and he has! Book your next networking event here. You won't be disappointed.
If you want to have a good cigar after the nights coming to the end and your in the BTR, you need to make your way in. Great atmosphere and inviting hostess that make you feel like a millionaire. Thank you for the love and hospitality. What a way to end the night thank you. Cigar selection is on point too. The drinks are ice cold and the dance floor is popp’n
