21 Degrees Cigar Lounge

If you are looking for a cigar lounge in Scottsdale with real warmth to it, 21 Degrees Cigar Lounge is worth the drive. It sits on a main road connecting Scottsdale to Fountain Hills, a spot that even some locals miss, but the people who find it tend to come back. Word around town is this is one of the most well-regarded cigar lounges in the area, and once you spend an afternoon here it is easy to understand why. Walk in and there is a wall of retail cases up front, with the bar and drink well to the right.

Past that, the lounge opens into a darker, comfortable room with big TVs, cozy chairs, and a patio out back for those who want fresh air. The selection is what regulars talk about first: a deep lineup of premium cigars along with smoking accessories, plus a bar known for its bourbon, scotch, and a solid local beer list. Ask anyone who shops here and they will tell you the prices are fair, which is not always easy to find in the Phoenix area, though a few folks feel certain cigars run a touch higher than elsewhere. The staff is the heart of the place.

People rave about Rock (also known around here as Rick), who knows his inventory inside and out and gives honest recommendations, and he even produces his own cigars. Behind the bar, Josh and Joshua get named again and again for being friendly and attentive, and Star has a reputation for patience when you are picking out a gift box. Whether you are a longtime aficionado or brand new and full of questions, the crowd here makes you feel like family. As one visiting guest put it, it is a place nobody in town should miss.

For a cigar shop in Scottsdale with a genuine community feel, good conversation, and games on every screen, 21 Degrees has built something locals are proud of.
