What People Are Saying About Velvet Cigars

In Short – The sidewalk leading to this cozy smoking retreat is laced with whiffs of tobacco leaves burning. At the window sits a seasoned cigar-maker, hand-rolling the lounge's own line of mild to full-bodied Dominican stogies each day. Enthusiasts and regulars (mostly men) share conversation in the rich room with bar stools and studded caramel armchairs, but the barkeep controls the television clicker, as well as the flow of wine, beer and popular ports.

super cool cigar lounge, but don't tell anyone...
by rickastleyrules at Citysearch
This place is cool. I stumbled upon it with a few buddies last week. Cool atmosphere and vibe. The people there were a cool mix of locals and serious cigar smokers. The space has a speakeasy feel. Small, but only enough to keep the wrong clientele out. Find me at the bar every night.
- Pros: good soundtrack, people, can smoke (cigars), still cool
- Cons: need to get there early to get a seat...

- Pros: Great vibe, great cigars
