Cocktail
Esther N.

The day we visited it was very quiet. We liked that. Cigar selection is small but really enjoyed the ones I was given to try. The bar doesn't have that many choices for cocktails but the one I tried I really enjoyed.

Not much to say about this place other than it was great. From the moment my brothers and I walked in we were shown good service. The cigar I I like they didn't have but the gentleman who helped me quickly found a different smoke that I thoroughly enjoyed. We all enjoyed, recommend and will definitely return when we visit Charlotte again.

Full svc bar and plenty of seating!

This place can be whatever you want, a bar, pick up a party vibe, or slide into an intimate corner. The cigar selection is small to medium sized but hits all the profiles and price ranges. Get to know the people behind the bar, they're good company.

It's safe to say I think I'm an official cigar aficionado but not really tho. I haven't been to many cigar lounges in Charlotte but more so out of town in other states. This cigar lounge so far to me is everything a cigar bar should be. Well ventilated, laid back with soothing music playing throughout the establishment. Tailored smoke is located inside of the epic center downtown you can very easily catch the light rail here if you don't want to pay for parking downtown which is a plus . Everything is pretty much in an open space. Oh and it's a small fee for a year's membership. The garage door style windows is a cool addition may I add .

So my reviews are always based on how a lounge feel as a solo female smoker. I am in town from the DC area and this lounge came recommended. I asked for a mild leaf cigar and was offered flavored cigars. The only two bar stools were initially full so I grabbed a table. Once I changed to the bar it took my one star up to a 3 store. The bartender.. brittni has a great personality and was able to give me some insight on Charlotte. The space is not made for lounge conversation. All in all, I wouldn't recommend for a solo female smoker at the time that I came. Maybe a little later. I'm here for the weekend and have no plans to return.

Met some amazing people!

Great spot, with a welcoming friendly vibe! Drinks were amazing, with a good selection of cigars. I will definitely go back if I'm ever in Charlotte!

I was visiting Charlotte during Memorial Day weekend and was looking for something to do downtown. I was out looking for the closest CVS when I came across Tailored Smoke Cigar Lounge. When I look inside, I was surprised to see so so many women enjoying cigars. It looked interesting, so I came back the next evening after dinner. I not sure why, but there is a $5.00 membership fee (something to do with the state), but it is good for a year. I am a novice with cigars, (a once in a blue moon thing) so I asked the gentleman manning the humidor about his selection and could he recommend something for me. He was very much like a sommelier asking what I like and what have I smoked before. I told him I wanted Crazy Alice cigar and told me to try a Sweet Jane, from the same family of cigars. So I had a Sweet Jane and Tennessee Honey with Ginger and sat down by myself on the patio. What I like most about Tailored Smoke is the ambiance. It was just chill. The next thing I know a couple was visiting from Detroit sitting next to me, and we began a conversation. They left, and a trio of gentlemen in town for a wedding was asked to sit by me, and we started a conversation. I was a woman sitting alone in a cigar bar and felt entirely at ease. You don't get that a lot these days. Tailored Smoke Cigar Lounge has a good selection of cigars, but they are more than cigars, they do cocktails as well. They are not just a beer, wine, and whiskey joint. It's very grown and sexy. The staff is terrific, knowledgeable about cigars and cocktails, and OUTSTANDING customer services. They hospitality is unrivaled. I also want to shout out the owner, Mr. Preston Gray for connecting me with some spots in the DC/Baltimore area. I wholeheartedly recommend Tailored Smoke Cigar Lounge. Check it out you won't regret it.

Pretty chill spot in EpiCentre next to RedEye Diner. Nice folks- good cigar recommendations and they cut/light. $10 annual membership required, pay parking in EpiCentre garage. Visited midday, nice sound track. Seating both inside and outside, high ceilings inside. Recommend if you are uptown.

I start this off by saying I really wanted this to be a good lounge. I was in town for 4 days and it was really close to my hotel. Unfortunately, I can not recommend this place to anyone. There was one good thing- location. Located in the epicenter which is near a lot of hotels and restaurants. That ends the positive list. There is a $5 "membership" fee to get in.. which is not completely out of the norm in bigger cities and I had hopes of using the place several times over my stay.(which I did not) Once we got in, they tried to sell me $16 cigars of brands I have never heard of.. I know I am no expert, but I have been buying cigars for 5+ years and recognize most brands... We opted for a CAO italia for $9 which wasn't a horrible price.. but the cigar was! It was so dried out that it cracked and popped when you touched it. A few minutes after lighting the wrapper started coming off. This thing had not seen moisture in a LONG time! The guy at the bar was ok but the first three white wines my sister in law asked for they didn't have.. She was not asking for special brands.. she asked for Chardonnay, Pinot, and finally just asked for the house white and it was atrocious. Spend your money somewhere else

Terrible selection. Hardly any cigars or accoutrements. Weak bar offerings. Felt like they were about to go out of business.

The Vintage Cigar Bar is hands-down one of the most beautiful and relaxing spots I've been to in…read moreNorth Carolina. From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere pulls you in--classy, cozy, and timeless. The decor strikes the perfect balance between vintage charm and modern luxury, making it an ideal place to unwind. Their cigar selection is impressive. Whether you're a seasoned aficionado or just exploring the world of cigars, there's something for everyone. The staff is super knowledgeable and always ready with a great recommendation. Drinks? On point. The cocktails are crafted with care and the bar menu complements the cigars beautifully. It's the kind of place where you can sip, smoke, and actually have a conversation. But what really sets this place apart is the waitstaff. Attentive, welcoming, and genuinely passionate about what they do. You can tell they take pride in making every guest feel at home. If you're looking for a classy spot to enjoy a good cigar, a great drink, and even better company--this is it. I can't wait to come back

We were immediately turned away because we had on sweatpants. The attire rules are posted at the door in a very abrupt and abrasive way and we were quickly approached. The bar was near empty, we only wanted to continue our friend's bday celebration. There was a white server that walked right by us and entered the cigar room with the black server. She didn't say anything to us but the black server immediately came out and told us we needed to leave because of our attire. We were kempt and professional, yet casual. The servers had on uggs, leggings, half zip nylon pullovers, and had the audacity to approach us about attire. I will never, ever, spend my dollars, nor recommend this place to anyone...for ANYTHING.

I think this place is top notch, Dean is super cool and they have a great selection of cigars…read more However, I went in today and struck up a convo with two gentleman there who were talking about their kids. I had grabbed some DBL box pressed cigars and the fat tall white dude in the full brimmed hat that was working, came up and took them out of my hand and started ringing them up, I told him I was still going to grab more and he rolled his eyes and walked off. One of the guys had an alarm go off on his cell phone and turned it off within 5 seconds the guy walks up with a look of annoyance and angrily says, "is someone's phone alarm going off?" "Uh yeah mine was, I turned it off..." the dude says. The fat white dude working says "there is alot of chaos over here..." while motioning with his hands, "lots of noise!" The dude says "I turned my phone off." "Thank you" the worker says sternly and walks away. So I keep having our conversation and I look at the register, the guy working keeps motioning for me to hurry up. So I say, "I'm still getting more cigars man." He literally rolls his eyes slaps both of his hands off the counter, lets out a huge sigh and walks into the back. So I grab some more cigars and go to the register... he says "do you want any of these cut?" I say "yeah could I get the DBLs cut..." and before I can finish he stares down at the counter and motions with his hand in circles and says "what kind of cut?" "V cut please" He let's out a huge sigh rolls his eyes and starts unwrapping them. So I say " if you don't want to cut them dude you don't have to." He looks up at me, doesn't say a thing then starts to cut the cigars, but he doesn't just cut them he angrily cuts them with so much force he grunts and tosses them back onto the counter. So I say "you alright man?" He sighs a huge sigh again grits his teeth and starts to tell me that the refrigerator is broken, Yada Yada Yada. Anyways, the guy is a effing prick, he treated me like I was taking up his time, I was only in there for like 10 minutes and spent over $100 on cigars... he took them out of my hands when I wasn't done looking, cut them like he wanted to kill them and gave me so much fuckin attitude. If you get Dean, you'll be super happy, but the tall fat white dude is a complete @$$hole. It sucks because I really like this place, but that dude cannot control his emotions, maybe he didn't like me, I don't know. But it turned me way off of this place, I will still go, but if I walk in and see him I'm walking the eff out. I never want to see that guy again.

Great customer service. Did not drink but has full bar with some good options on bourbon.

No day pass allowed. Nice sitting area not the best place to come in have a smoke and work. Do a limited seating where you have access to a table but if you're OK with putting your laptop in your lap are sitting at the bar there's about four seat. They do have a domino table I think is amazing. I could definitely see myself in there having a drink price of dominoes smoking a cigar. Definitely if you're in the area a place I would check out.
