CEDAR ROOM Fine Cigars & Lounge

If you are looking for a proper cigar lounge in Scottsdale, the Cedar Room has earned itself a spot near the top. It sits over in the DC Ranch area, and the word around town is that plenty of people stumble on it by accident, then wonder how they never knew it was there. One of the highest-rated spots of its kind in the area, and it lives up to the reputation. The humidor runs on the smaller side compared to some, but locals will tell you that is not a knock.

What they stock leans toward the higher-end sticks, and folks come in and find names like Padron, Perdomo, Davidoff, Ashton, and El Septimo, sometimes a cigar that has been sold out most everywhere else. There is a solid accessory collection too, with recognizable brands like DuPont, plus the small touches that make the ritual right, cedar strips and wood matches kept handy for lighting up. Regulars ask for Chris, who knows the cigars well and gives real, practical advice without any fuss. The room itself is a big part of the draw.

People who spend an afternoon here talk about the plush leather sofas inside, the huge patio with roomy lounge chairs and misters for the warmer days, and the way the indoor space stays warm and cozy when the weather turns chilly. Multiple TV screens for games, good music, free WiFi, and it stays quiet enough to actually relax and catch up with someone. This is a beer and wine spot, not full bar, and while a few people wish for more, most agree the selection is a good one. One regular summed it up simply: super chill, inside and out.

Ask anyone who spends time here and they will tell you it is the kind of upscale, comfortable lounge you settle into and don't rush out of.
