Nice lounge, friendly people, plenty of space to smoke a cigar with plenty of seating. Decent ventilation. Cutters available. Matches available. No TVs. I didn't ask about wifi. Drink menu. Food menu. All good. So why a 4-star rating and not 5? Their humidor though small is well-stocked with some nice sticks and some harder to find items like Pinks. My only issue is with how tight and cramped the humidor is. I think they could stock fewer cigars and have a little more space in there without losing quality sticks. A minor complaint but Yelp doesn't let you award half stars. On a 10-point scale I'd give it a solid 9! I will return the next time I'm in town.

Board with lunch specials and kitchen.

Calabash is a wonderful, locally owned cafe with cigars galore, beer, coffee, cold drinks and tasty food!!! We are not cigar smokers but we loved lunch! Delicious steak and cheese sandwich, chips and pickle! Great atmosphere, smelled good and very welcoming staff! We sat on very comfortable leather couches while the owner cooked our lunch. Next time we are going to try the steak kabob! We highly recommend!

What a great spot to enjoy a great cigar with a nice selection of craft beer. The staff was super helpful and helped me find a cigar to enjoy in their comfortable lounge. Went back for espresso and was pleased with the great atmosphere. Being able to enjoy tobacco inside while having a draft beer is great.

Friendly local place. Only place in Portland, ME area to smoke inside. Don't let the little "strip mall" fool you. It has a nice selection of beer and great humidor, nice area for smoking and really nice staff.

Enjoying a hechicera and a nice local beer called Tarnation.

See all

I've been to a zillion lounges, and nothing is perfect, but this one definitely makes a push to keep you as a customer and not like most retail as usually doing " go in, get a pitch on the house cigar, buy what you finally get around to, then get out" as most lounges do.

I decided to check out this particular cigar bar, hoping to discover a new spot to enjoy. When I…read morewalked in my first impression was strange, a man was sitting at the bar laying across two chairs and, on a laptop, surfing the web. Later learning this was the owner's son. He never greeted us or moved so we could take a seat. I noticed their walk-in humidor and decided to check out the cigars. While I'm not a cigar expert, I do possess some knowledge about cigars and have been smoking cigars for years. Upon entering their humidor, I couldn't help but notice that the cigar selection was somewhat limited. However, I was warmly welcomed by the Cigar Sommelier, who exuded kindness and expertise. I shared my preferences in cigars, and he graciously offered several recommendations. Once I made my selection, I headed to the bar. Placing my chosen cigars on the counter, I was taken aback when the bartender swiftly picked them up and rang them in before even greeting me, as though he suspected I might attempt to steal them. This was the gentlemen who was lounging on the chairs surfing the web when we first walked in. Once the bartender rang up my cigar purchase, he inquired about our drink preferences. When I asked about a specific alcohol, his demeanor turned noticeably uncomfortable. I asked about a certain Vodka (Tito's) and rather than just stating they didn't have it and say what they did have, I received a response as if I was beneath him. He started discussing his family's ownership of the business and began disparaging other establishments nearby. It became apparent that he lacked the necessary service skills and came across as quite arrogant. I looked to see if there were any way to contact the owner directly, but I couldn't find it prior to posting this. I feel this place could be a staple in the area but needs a change in the staff to promote some positive energy.
