Puro Cigar Bar

Puro Cigar Bar has quietly become one of the best cigar destinations in Arizona, and ask anyone who spends an afternoon here and they'll tell you why. This is a proper lounge with an upscale feel that never tips into pretentious. The action happens on a large second floor with two comfortable seating areas, big TVs, and a pair of balconies, including a rooftop lounge that locals swear by for Arizona sunsets. It's the kind of place where you settle in and lose track of time in the best way.

The humidor is the heart of it. People who shop here rave about a selection that spans everyday smokes all the way up to premium, hard-to-find sticks you won't come across just anywhere. What really seals it is the staff. The word around Chandler is that the humidor curator knows his stuff and loves talking cigars, walking you through how different sticks burn instead of steering you toward the priciest one on the shelf.

One regular called it his favorite spot in the whole state for cigars, and plenty feel the same. Then there's the bar. The bourbon and whiskey selection gets a lot of love, with some unique bottles and a bar team that knows how to pair a good pour with your smoke. Ventilation is done right, so the room stays comfortable.

A nice touch we hear again and again: they let you bring in outside food, which pairs perfectly with the BBQ place downstairs, and they'll sometimes coordinate to have someone take your order. Even non-smokers along for the ride say they feel welcome here, right down to a free soda. Service on the floor can occasionally run a little uneven on a busy night, but the overall reputation speaks for itself. If you like cigars, spirits, and a relaxed room to enjoy them in, Puro Cigar Bar in Chandler is a genuine local favorite worth settling into.
