What it lacks in size, it makes up for in the culture and welcoming people who frequent the establishment. I highly recommend it and have been a member there for 3 years. They offer memberships that give you 24-hour/7-day a week access, 365 days a year. Stop by and say hello and smoke a while.

It is a nice place with inside and outside seating and great employees and customers. Downside is…read morethat the cigar selection is down to a handful of different cigars lately, the exhaust fans don't seem to work and cleaning the rooms seems to be neglected for "a while". Their cigar pricing is very fair (not like other places doubling cost of a cigar) and no entrance fees - you cannot/should not bring your own cigars, but can bring your own drinks. Overall, a very nice location for the occasional gathering with friends.

I have been going here for years and knew John the previous owner. He was a bit gruff but always…read morehad his own sense of humor if you would call it that. But always very knowledgeable. But because of some health issues I had to give up cigars a couple years ago. But my son, in college, has picked up the liking occasionally for a nice cigar and I thought I'd pass on my stuff and get him a nice start on a selection of cigars. So off to Bell's I went. We'll I walked into the store and it was very different. It was opened up and bright and there was a gentleman and young woman behind the counter that were both very pleasant. But I was surprised. What happened to John. We'll, looks like he retired. The gentleman at the counter was Bhavik Shah. He was pleasant and extremely knowledgeable. He took me through the store and helped me get 11 cigars, I was hoping for 10, and although I spent more than I really wanted, I felt like I got a great value and a stunning selection. And on top of it I got a military discount. All pluses in my book. So new owner, but the service is outstanding and the offerings have expanded. It was a true pleasure to meet you Bhavik. Thanks for the help. My son will enjoy looking up the different labels on the cigars and reading about his selection.

Prepare to be wowed by numerous lounges on two different levels. He has installed a powerful air handling system so you can enjoy your cigar without walking out smoky. Inside the large, walk-in humidor, you'll find your standard brands, but also a wide selection of boutique Lengths. Chet has gone to great lengths to provide an outstanding variety of cigars for absolutely every taste. He also has all the accessories you could ever want. I did not get to check out if there is a wide selection of pipe tobacco. There is plenty of parking in the front of the store and around back. The vibe is definitely very gracious, friendly, and old school. Stop in. You won't be disappointed. They have multiple memberships, lockers, or you can just come in, fire up and stick and your laptop and do some work on their high tops. There is no bar -- Yelp won't let me put Cigar Lounge as a category-- but you may be able to bring your own. Call first.

I didn't see the receipt so I'm not sure if it was the bourbon or the cigar that was on the pricey side. Lots of seating on the patio and a good amount of seating inside.
