Sacred Smoke Cigars

Sacred Smoke Cigars has earned a name as one of the best cigar lounges in Snohomish county, and locals will tell you it's worth the trip. This is a proper cigar bar in Marysville, Washington, and the first thing people mention is the size. It's a big, comfortable space that never feels cramped, with plenty of seating, a couple of screens for the game, and room to spread out and socialize. We've heard about big groups settling in for board games while scattered tables of friends unwind nearby.

The vibe is laid-back and relaxed, exactly the kind of spot you'd pick for a quiet drink or a date night. The humidor is the heart of it, and it's well stocked. Ask anyone who shops here and Ralph's name comes up fast; he knows cigars inside and out and takes real care matching people to the right stick. One truck driver passing through called himself a rookie, and instead of any judgment he got steered straight to mocha and cream infused and sweet infused cigars that he loved.

That kind of welcome is what people remember. Beyond the cigars, they carry the accessories to go with them, and the humidor selection runs deep enough to keep longtime enthusiasts happy. There's a full bar here too, with beers on tap, a huge whiskey selection, and cocktails that get talked up plenty. One regular still raves about a smoked old fashioned the bartender made on a whim.

Coffees and soft drinks are on hand for pairing as well, and the food surprises people; the menu isn't huge, but folks say everything on it is genuinely good. Regulars who cruise I-5 between Bellingham and Seattle make a point of stopping in. If there's a knock, we've heard the occasional grumble about service running slow when it's busy, but that hasn't stopped people from coming back and becoming regulars. For a cigar lounge in Marysville, this one has built a loyal following, and it's easy to see why.
