    The beautiful turquoise blue caught my eye, I never had this cigar before. It was smooth. From Nicaragua

    I was making a Pho run for lunch when I caught the signage for this place in the corner of my eye . I mentally bookmarked it and came back later that day after work . I was greeted by a friendly gent who worked at the place who showed me inside and told me a little about this place. I also got to meet the owner,,,, very nice guy who introduced me to their selections and the humidor. Great service and ambiance. I definitely felt comfortable here and see myself coming back to hang' for a bit and smoke a stogie in the lounge.

    The Rat! Thanks Chad.

    My all time favorite cigar lounge, and I'm a member of a cigar lounge back home. I'm always looking for a cigar lounge near my hotels when I travel. It's a great place to relax, meet locals and get dining recommendations. Islands is perfectly nestled neatly in a small strip on the corner of Central and Brea Blvd, right on my route to and from hotel/work. Could it be any better? Well, yes, yes it could. And it is. Chad is the friendliest, most welcoming proprietor I've had the pleasure of meeting anywhere in Brea. His selections are out of this world and his knowledge follows suit. He has several items I don't normally see back home which make for a delightful tasting experience. The regular crowd here is also great. As the FNG a few weeks ago I was treated to some shared snacks and even given 'the good seat' for watching the movie that was on. Don't want to watch TV, there's additional seats around the corner for the quieter group. In conclusion, GO SEE CHAD.

    First time cigar smoker here and I'm glad that I stopped by Isands to get my first couple cigars. Man cave. An excellent man cave is what came to mind as I walked in the entrance. Flat screen with the game on, big comfy seats/sofas with guys chiefing cigars in 'em. Islands lounge also has more space in the back but I walked straight to the humidor. As I walked in, I was taken back by the vast selection. Having never smoked a cigar and going by reviews on cigar.com I was honestly lost and a lil intimidated lol. It's funny to think on that now but that all went away as soon as Chad went in to assist me. Chad helped me out tremendously. His knowledge and guidance put me at ease. I felt that he was being genuine and wasn't just trying to sell me an expensive cigar or a cigar that wasn't selling. He asked questions about the coffee and alcohol I like to drink, how long was I trying to smoke, explained the different sizes and kinds of wrappers. Bottom line is that he asked questions AND listened to my answers to find me the perfect selections. I ended up with a Montecristo Epic Toro and a Hoyo La Amistad Black Rothschild/Robusto. Not only did Chad help me pick them out but he also gave me a Maduro house blend for free for my first visit and first time smoking a cigar!! So after leaving Islands, I headed to a family BBQ. I decided to go with the Hoyo and man.. I fuckin loved it lol. It tasted like dark chocolate/mocha with a lil bit of a nice spiciness towards the end. It was exactly how Chad described it, even the amount of time it took to smoke was on point. I was sippin on some Remy Martin, having great conversations with family and enjoying my first cigar. It's a labor day miracle, Charlie Brown lol. I wanna give a huge thank you to Chad, for taking the time to get me the right cigars for me, explaining things and for the maduro! I thoroughly enjoyed my first experience with the lounge and cigar! I'll be coming back to Islands and recommending it to family and friends.

The staff were nice and checked in on us! Overall we enjoyed our service. Just remember that they are strict and won't allow you to bring anything in even water. They do not serve water so you have to pay $6 for a bottle of water! They do have a package for food and drinks.. For as for the room, we paid $58 per hour that can hold up to 8 people. 10 will be a bit tight! The only complaint I had was it was hard to find American songs they there was no "SPACE" bar! We wasted 10 mins just trying to figure out how the system works! It's just not very user intuitive. So you will have to select song by artist search. You do have an option to look up songs on YouTube but that was wasting time off our clock!

I've watched it poured straight into a regular pint glass with no 45-degree angle and no pause for the proper two-step pour. It comes out flat, with barely any creamy head, which completely changes the texture and experience. Guinness isn't just another draft beer; it needs to settle, and it should be served in a proper tulip or Guinness glass to get that classic presentation. The fix is simple: slow the pour down and train the staff on the traditional method. The pub has the vibe. Now it just needs to respect the pint.
