Here in WA
Lit @ Snoqualmie Casino--fantastic whisky selection.
Lil Brown Smoke Shack in Yakima--good selection of cigars and great owners. Fun place to hang out on a Friday.

In Las Vegas
Casa Fuente
Rhumbar
Mad I missed out on the Foundation Room..definitely want to go there.

When I lived in Fresno, CA years ago I used to go to Cigar Mas Fino. This is a stellar cigar lounge and I can only wish to have one like it in central WA open up(or for Lil Brown to remodel ;-) )

Emerson's Cigars - home and first real lounge I hung out at, went to events at and met up with many BOTL's there
Casa de Montecristo - just an amazing place all around
Casa Fuente - a must visit as many times as possible when in Vegas
Stopped in Emerson's Cigars the day before deploying overseas in 2012. Met a retired Air Force Colonel there who made me feel right at home. After enjoying a Padron 1964, he went to his locker and handed me one of the Winston Churchill's he had. We both sat and enjoyed another great smoke together. I enjoy making every effort to visit local lounges wherever I go and have never been disappointed. Good company can always be found at a lounge.
Sounds like you met JB, great guy

Other than the Nacional in Cuba ... Tesa Cigars in Chicago, Casa de Montecristo in Chicago (their aging room is ridiculously awesome).

Serious Cigars in Houston was fantastic, put on a great show last year for the Super Bowl.

Corona Cigar in Orlando was a lot of fun. Special mention to CY Steak house.

Cigar Surgeon did you see what happened at Serious Cigar yesterday..there was a shooting. Ex husband vs new boyfriend. Thankfully no customers or staff were harmed. My friend that lives in Spring is a regular at Serious Cigar. I always hear about the customer appreciation party and cigar festival. I gotta get out to it one of these days.

I travel a fair amount and get to frequent a number of shops. Almost every place is special and unique in their own way. I've met lots of great people along the way as well.

Here are some of my favorites:

Casa de Montecristo. Simply the Mecca of cigar stores and lounges.

Town&Country (Michaels) cigars in Euless,TX. Great staff, selection and clientele.

Coronas (all 3) in the Orlando area. Impressive stock and decent prices. The Lake Mary location is also close to my house.

The Angry Moon in Palm Beach Gardens. Killer live music and wonderful scenary at night. Good selection. Have held many post customer meeting debriefs here.

Outlaw South in KC. Huge lounge and chill area. Hit it at least once per year.

Stogies in Houston. Munky's place.

Ol' Times in Casselberry, FL (Orlando suburb). Owner, wife and son are very knowledgable and leave you with a family like feel. Lounge area is extremely small but prices and selection make up for it.

West Coast Cigars in San Jose. Shop is an old house. Good selection and knowledgable staff. I just like this place.

Burns North in Chattanooga. The downtown location is pretty good too, but I just dig the old barber chairs at the North location. Great staff too.

I could probably list 6 more great places but I will stop now.

Oh, did I happen to mention Casa de Montecristo? The VIP lounge is most incredible!

Just pay attn to all the surroundings while watching the video.
If I had to guess 2500 sq ft upstairs.
Wall to wall humis. On every wall
A Walk in that's 20X30 with a full glass front.
A hidden vintage room thats like a cave. There's two doors just to get into it.
A separate aging room/walk in that stored 2005 unreleased Pepins as well as other brands.
That's just the upstairs. Just watch the video.....

Havana Club in Cozumel, Mexico. I love to sit out on the balcony overlooking the sea with a nice cigar and Mojito. Casa Fuente is second.

I'm no longer in SF but Ox is and probably always be my home. They gave me a hell of a sendoff thanks to one of the regulars and Yvette, the newest partner to the bar. It's a great place and home for many.

I've never walked out of there feeling anything less than pleased, even when I spent more than my budget should allow.

The Occidental is a great place. ..I was there for a world series game a couple years back.
