Choosing Your Best Cigar Lounge Online

By Byron Hubris


The cigar lounge phenomenon has its real genesis in the 1990's when local governments began instituting bans on smoking in bars and restaurants. Not wanting to forego their favorite pastime while enjoying a good glass of wine, cigar smokers flocked to these establishments that were able to skirt around the local smoking bans due to exceptions in the law for establishments that specifically catered to smokers. Cigar smokers, feeling shunned from society for their passion that dates back to the birth of the nation, found a haven in these lounges. These lounges are not as popular as they were at the outset, but they can still be found if you know how to look.

One excellent source of information concerning these lounges is online forums that cater to cigar smokers. These are sites on the internet were cigar aficionados get together to discuss everything about cigars. Cigar smokers swap stories about their favorite cigars, trade cigars with one another, and enlighten each other concerning the best places to buy the highest quality cigars. Sometimes there are subsections in these forums devoted to travel. This is where you usually find answers to questions about where to find the best cigar lounge in different cities all over the world.

When searching for a cigar lounge, first use a google search for cigar lounge. From there you will be invited to various websites and online stores. Be discerning about where you travel, even online. Go to the review sites like Yelp and read what others have said about the cigar lounge. Talk to other members of the site. Then go to the brick and mortar store to see what is offered. Is there a membership fee? Is there a cutting fee for each cigar? Are you required to purchase a set amount of products from the store, in addition to your membership fees? Do you consider their products to be premium?

A number of cigar lounges online offer the option of sampler packs that give you a variety to try before you make a commitment to one specific type of cigar. Traveling or gift giving, they give you an option that takes some of the pressure out of the decision. A gift for a friend or business associate is easy to find when you know their preference in cigars and searching online for a cigar shop can give you a variety of choices. In addition to simply placing an order online you can also find a local lounge to go spend time with them and utilize the comforts while you go over the latest news or business deal.

These new lounges are starting to get noticed and are growing very popular. Cigar smoking travelers are choosing these hotels because they know they will have a place to relax during their downtime and even meet other cigar aficionados. They are elegantly designed for maximum comfort, with plush couches and chairs and even a cigar concierge. This version of the cigar bar is growing more slowly, which could be a good harbinger for their future success. At least, that is the hope of many a travel weary cigar lover.
