Cloud 33 Cigars

If you are looking for a cigar lounge in Penn Hills Township that feels more like a home away from home, Cloud 33 Cigars has quickly become one of the most talked-about spots around. You will find it tucked into the Penn Hills Shopping Center, an easy stop and, as one regular pointed out with a laugh, only about ten minutes from SkyZone if you are running the birthday party route. The word around town is simple: this place gets it right. Owners Gene and LaToya set the tone here, and locals will tell you Gene is often on site, greeting people at the door and walking newcomers through the cigars available so you land on the right stick.

Ask anyone who has stopped in and they will mention how welcome first-timers feel. The selection covers plenty of options, including brands that longtime cigar folks say they had not come across before, and the prices sit at a fair, sensible level. There are liquors on hand too, and the crew keeps things laid back for a mature crowd looking to relax. The room itself gets a lot of praise.

Plush, comfortable seating is arranged for both quiet solo evenings and larger groups, and people who have come in with a party of six had no trouble finding space. Three large screen TVs run sports and pay-per-view events, there is good music playing, and the ventilation is strong enough that folks have noted they leave without their clothes and hair smelling of smoke. The decor draws compliments across the board. Cloud 33 also offers locker lease options and hosts vendor events, and since they allow outside food, regulars grab a slice from the pizza joint in the same plaza and bring it in.

People who shop here swear by the inclusive, welcoming feel, and more than a few have said they will make it their regular stop when passing through the Pittsburgh area. For a cigar shop in Penn Hills Township, this one has earned itself a strong local reputation.
