Stogies Cigar Lounge

Ask anyone who takes their cigars seriously around West Palm Beach and Stogies Cigar Lounge comes up fast. Locals call it the best cigar lounge in Palm Beach County, and that word gets repeated a lot. The humidor is kept in top shape, with sticks stored perfectly, and the selection runs deep. You'll find names like Arturo Fuente, Ashton, Aganorsa Leaf, Dunbarton, Cavalier, Blackbird, Belmaachi, and El Pulpo lining the shelves.

One regular swears by the Arturo Fuente for how smooth it smokes, and that's the kind of thing you'll hear from the folks in the chairs. What keeps people coming back, though, is the room itself. There's a classic, relaxed feel to the place, comfortable chairs, big screens with the NFL games running until the final whistle, and a crew of regulars who make newcomers feel like they've been coming for years. People mention Rafael by name for the way he hosts, friendly and attentive, the kind of host who treats you like family.

That's a common theme here. One person who has been coming for three years said the vibe has never dropped off. Beyond the smokes, Stogies pours espresso along with beer and wine, and there's a small beer garden out back for when you want to sit outside. Live music and events show up on the calendar too, so it's as much a hangout as a shop.

It stays open late, which suits the crowd that likes to settle in and spend a few hours over a good cigar. If you're hunting for a cigar lounge in West Palm Beach with a real sense of community and a serious humidor, this is one locals point you toward without hesitation.
