I Cue Cigar Lounge

If you're after a smooth, upscale spot to unwind in the Poconos, I Cue Cigar Lounge in East Stroudsburg has built exactly that. This is a cigar lounge with a humidor selection people around here call impressive, and there's always something new to try on the shelves. Regulars come in to enjoy a premium stick in peace, and the word around East Stroudsburg is that Cue, the owner, is as good a host as you'll find anywhere. The atmosphere is what really keeps people coming back.

Ask anyone who's spent an evening here and they'll tell you about the grown and sexy vibe: old-school R&B and hip-hop, live jazz some nights, and a DJ keeping the energy up on weekends. Comfortable seating, good ventilation that lets you settle in for the long haul, and drinks that folks rave about, mixed by Cue himself. It's a husband and wife operation, a Black-owned lounge that locals say reflects real culture, class, and good energy. Even people who don't smoke cigars come for the atmosphere and the company.

New to cigars? We've heard great things about Cordelia's "Cigar 101," which walks first-timers through their first draw so nobody feels out of place. The staff here are knowledgeable and warm, and the hostess has a reputation for being both welcoming and genuinely funny. One person who came back for their second visit in two years put it simply: they returned because the first time was that good.

This is one of the highest-rated spots of its kind in the area, and it earns it. Whether you're stopping through the Poconos or looking for a regular place to relax, network, and enjoy a good cigar, I Cue Cigar Lounge is the kind of place that becomes your spot.
