Smokies Cigar Lounge

Smokies Cigar Lounge has been a fixture in Reading since 2012, and ask anyone who spends an afternoon here and they'll tell you it might be the best cigar lounge around. The humidor is the heart of it, kept well maintained so the premium cigars never dry out, and the selection runs deep. They even roll their own house brand, which regulars swear by. Word around Reading is that the prices stay fair, if you're a longtime member or dropping in for the first time.

What keeps people coming back is the room itself. Plenty of lounge chairs and sofas, a little espresso bar turning out coffee and cappuccino, a pool table, shuffleboard, and big-screen TVs. The decor is genuinely nice and the ventilation gets high marks from folks who've spent hours in there. It's BYOB, so people bring a glass of their favorite drink to pair with a stogie.

One regular put it simply: it's the kind of lounge where you never feel like you don't belong. Even travelers passing through mention how welcome the crew made them feel. The staff are a big part of the draw. Maria gets named again and again for service, and the owner is known around town as attentive and kind.

This is a place where the longtime members get treated like family, spare key and all, and where the events pull a good crowd. Alongside the cigars, they also carry vapes, e-liquid, and vape juice. For anyone looking for a comfortable, laid-back cigar lounge in Reading, Pennsylvania, Smokies is an easy recommendation. Come by once and you'll understand why so many locals make it a regular stop.
