Cigar shop has been at this location for 30 years. The owner is super nice. Due to travel he cut the cigars for us. Nice selection of cigars. Opened until 7pm. Around the corner from the major hotels.
Reviews
Selection is awful. Half the cigars were moldy (no it wasn’t “plume”). Prices were fair enough, but then they want $50 to sit and smoke. If I had known about the ridiculous day pass fee before I purchased I never would have bought from them.
This is a private lounge. They do offer a $50 daily “membership” for smoking. Regardless of how much you purchase: “$100 or $10,000” doesn’t matter, according the proprietor. He was also rude and combative, as described in countless other reviews. If you are looking for a place to buy sticks or have a smoke while visiting Austin, don’t waste your time. Several other great and friendly lounges in town.
Went there to pick a few quality sticks for Saturday night. The owner or whoever works there suggested to get the Columbus. What a disappointment… Plus the lounge the is private. Been to many cigar lounge’s around the country - this is one I won’t be back.
The owners have an arrogant condescending air to them. Their selection is relatively small they charge $50 to smoke your cigar in the lounge but the way they point it out makes it clear they dont want you in the lounge area anymore than they want you in their humidor.
