If you haven't been here you're missing out. Awesome little gem tucked away from the major bar and party scene. Perfect place to get out of the house and decompress and enjoy some good ol' cigars and pretty great cocktails. The staff is also extremely welcoming and friendly. Anytime I'm downtown hanging out, making a stop here is a must!

Amazing cigar shop! Must go in El Paso. Mia the owner is so knowledgeable about the cigars and is incredibly friendly. The drinks are well made and the atmosphere is a perfect place to relax for a few minutes or all day. They had a comedy show in the upstairs lounge which was the perfect private venue. I highly recommend Vitolas!
I have always enjoyed vitolas. They have great smokes, great customer service and their cocktail recipes are on point. Whoever owns the parking lot sucks. They charge way too much! I hope it doesn't have a negative impact on vitolas and now nueve uno cimco. Get your shit straight man!
Ground level houses the humidor and a few comfortable-looking chairs. Despite an air filtration system, there is a very strong cigar smoke odor present upon entry. The odor doesn't bother me, of course, because I'm going there to smoke, but I brought my wife since we were on vacation, maybe that's a good lesson for me! If you're looking for Padrón or other traditional high-end cigars, they don't sell them; they focus exclusively on boutique brands. However, I really appreciated their strict sanitary rules, such as requiring everyone to use hand sanitizer before entering the humidor, and a strict "if you touch a cigar to your nose, you buy it" policy. The staff was helpful and knowledgeable. Most of the lounge is located up a staircase, which is also where you'll find a fairly well-stocked bar in a cozy setting and comfortable chairs. The drinks I ordered were very good, though a little pricey. For parking, we used a nearby structure and walked just a few short minutes to the lounge; the surrounding area felt perfectly safe.
Great cigar shop. They sell some great "boutique" blends like Blackbird Cigars. They sell most major labels too. Prices are reasonable. Staff is very helpful. They have a bar and smoking area, but since I didn't use either I am not sure what their policies are regarding day use, but I am sure everything is chill there. If you are in El Paso I recommend you stop by and check them out.
