Everyone that works here is great. You got Ariel, who's genuine customer service and…read morerecommendations put a smile to your face. You got Ray, a passionate and proud father who actively keeps the humidor looking organized. You got Austin, a knowledgeable rep that is down to earth. You got Greg jr, a proud son of his father's cigar shop who makes one heck of an old fashioned! In fact, he was the first person I ever met at the shop, and he is a true ambassador that would make any parent proud. And you got Malik and Jazzy, who help glue together the experience at this place by keeping the team they work with in good spirits. What more do you need to say, it starts with the people, but to top it off, they have an interesting selection of cigars. I have become a real fan of some of the lancero sizes I have gotten to try that most places don't carry. The place has a top notch ventilation system to that keeps it fresh and the indoor and outdoor lounge areas are truly a cool experience because of the amenities and great patrons that frequent it. The outdoor lounge in particular has a lot of seating with two massive TV's playing sports at all times! There is also great music in the evenings that's creates a vibe where people gather and have a great time. Did I mention that on Friday night, their outdoor food truck serves some yummy fish and chips! What can I say, this place is an experience and vibe like no other cigar lounge I have ever been to! Total gem. I almost don't want to write this review because I don't want it to get overcrowded, but they deserve the shine! If I could provide some feedback it would be about the indoor lounge chairs. I do wish the seats in the indoor lounge provided better back support, the seat cushioning is definitely past its prime, but other than that, they are nice and stylish leather couches and chairs!

I purchased a single flame Xikar lighter from this store and later discovered a significant price…read morediscrepancy between what I was charged and the manufacturer's current retail pricing. I understand that local shops charge a premium -- and I'm genuinely happy to support local businesses -- but the difference in this case was extreme and hard to justify. What made this worse is that I reached out to the store directly, politely explaining the situation and asking if anything could be done. I even included my receipt and a link to Xikar's official website for reference. I received no response whatsoever. No acknowledgment. No explanation. No attempt to make it right. I'll post pictures of the pricing for transparency. Buyer beware -- check prices before you pay.

I have noticed that a lot of the staff has changed, and I think that mixed drinks are different than they used to be perhaps because of a bartender change. They also don't seem to have as many organized events like trivia night as they used to. Overall, I think we'll still stop in, but it's not as frequent as we have in the past, but they're just aren't a lot of cigar bars around with as much space as Cigars International.

This is a hidden gem near San Antonio and absolutely worth the drive. If it's your first visit, start with a flight to sample what they have to offer, then order an Old Fashioned. I enjoyed it so much that I even walked out with one of their barrels as a souvenir. I'll definitely be back for some for more whiskey and a cool relaxing vibe.

If you are over 18 you can eat in the lounge, which is super nice, if you are under 18 there is plenty of seating out back. Plenty of umbrellas, flans, misters, etc. There is even a playground! Plus a stage for live music. I could definitely see hosting an event here. But our server was so great and took wonderful care of us. The food was super tasty... there were just crumbs left if you know what I mean. The bathrooms are on the approved list as well.

It's not that hard and the waiter we did end up with told us that various restaurants close each night depending on occupancy?! Grabbed a drink; and an appetizer from the sports bar and called it a night ! However Fernando who was one of the waiters was a stand out - checked in with customers and was as very attentive ! He's a stellar employee that the JW should be proud of !

The staff is extremely friendly and makes you feel welcome enough to have a drink at your leisure while kicking back in the comfortable chairs. With live music in the background, this was the perfect place to recap our fun day and watch other guests come and go. Smiles were abundant and laughter was in the air. Even though we visited in May, the Texas heat did not discourage us from sitting in front of the fire place and decompress. We did manage to have dinner here one night and the sushi was delicious to start. With our main entrees of the Karaage Fried Chicken & the Pork Belly bowl not only hit the spot, but after a fun day floating down the lazy river, it was the right combination to end our night. That is of course, after the special brownie surprise dessert.
