Not sure any of the previously uploaded pictures show how much space there is here - lots of good seating, full food menu, alcohol + espresso available. Good spot!
Reviews
This place has a lot going for it: nice ambiance, awesome staff, great selection of cigars, beers, and whiskey. And the food is great. (Not many places where all these things go together.) So you can imagine my shock when my Old Fashioned, unadorned by any fancy garnish, cost me $35! No warning about this jaw dropping price was given. C’mon guys! At least give us a heads up that we need a short term loan to drink here!
We went yesterday not really knowing what to expect. We were immediately greeted by friendly staff and given the layout. We got a great cigar and awesome coffee. Good atmosphere and a welcoming environment. We will be back!
For a cigar shop tucked away in a tiny corner of a large strip mall this place has a lot of character. Staff and patrons have clearly known each other for a very long time and their affection and camaraderie for one another is quite apparent making for a nice at-home type of ambience. Cigar selection is surprisingly extensive and the humidor is well kept. Prices can be a bit on the high side but overall the selection is of good quality and spending on the cigars is regret-free. Staff for knowledgeable about the particulars of their cigars and able to make recommendations by working with the customer. There is a full bar and menu offered although I didn't partake of the kitchen. Thankfully, given the cold weather in Portland, Maine, there is an indoor smoking lounge that is somewhat sparse but comfortable enough. Overall, a nice place to have a cigar with a beer and possibly some food at your leisure.
Really nice find for cigars! The service from the young lady was outstanding!! Nice selection and fun atmosphere!
