Siglo Cigar Lounge

Great, GREAT selection of cigars plus a very comfortable smoking lounge. There’s a very evident «local» crown that gathers there, but they are very welcoming and will even help you make a stick selection if help is needed!

Best cigar lounge in Orange County especially in Newport Beach/​Irvine area. The people very nice. The price is reasonable.

Large walkin humidor, good selection of cigars and a lounge and seating inside to enjoy them at. That’s all the good I have gotten from this place. I’ve visited this location twice.
First time was when I called ahead looked for a first run cigar from 5 years ago that are extremely hard to find. He looks, has no idea if he had it or not, but he described a similar cigar so I gambled and went. Much to my surprise, it was what I wanted and I bought the last 8 at $ 25 a stick, which is $ 5 cheaper than anywhere else I’ve found them. First experience, great since I found a very rare cigar at a good price and he seemed to enjoy me dropping over $ 200 and seemed to appreciate my business.
This brings me in a second time, today, and had a much less desirable experience. I walk in, barely even get a hello while he is reading behind the register, and show myself into the humidor. After scrolling for my last epic find with no success, I move onto finding myself a good smoke for tonight. I scroll and settle on the padron 1964 anniversary for myself and a $ 10 mi familia for a friend. The anniversary price was not labeled, but I buy enough cigars that I know it’s gonna be $ 15-​$ 20. I ask if they are around $ 20 and he literally laughs at me like I’m stupid. He then says they are $ 25. Highest price for that specific cigar in Orange County. So I say well if I’m gonna drop that kind of money I might as well pick up a 1926 padron anniversary for $ 36, which is $ 32 at the most til this shop. So as I’m paying my $ 52 for my 2 sticks I ask about the cigars I bought last time from him and if his other 4 stores had some. He says no but they can order more, which obviously he can not do since they only ran them 5 years ago for a single year. So when I try to explain he can’t, he gives me a childish smartass «OKKKK». And that was that. I will no longer even consider this place. I greatly appreciate you under pricing my all time favorite cigar because you have no idea what you had, but it is completely obvious from your customer service and over priced cigars that it was your lack of knowledge why I got my cigars at a good deal. So unless you know exactly what you want, are in a situation where your willing to pay over inflated prices, and get sub par customer service with some attitude on the side, I recommend you go somewhere else.

Great place for a smoke. Open late, huge selection, good prices. Will keep coming back.

Good cigars and good company. What more can you ask for?

Local. Comfy well stocked with two well placed TVS. Open every night until midnight.

My not so local, but awesome cigar lounge.
Whenever I am in the Newport Beach area I try to stop by Siglo’s and grab a smoke session. Tony and Gary, the two that I’ve seen behind the counter are friendly and not pushy with sales; If you’re new and have a question about anything, they are glad to help, but otherwise they will leave you to your own wits to figure stuff out.
They have a well stocked and varied humidor. You will be able to find cigars from Romeo & Julieta, Ashton, H. Upmann all the way to Davidoff, Padron, OpusX. There is a cigar for all walks of life. Even if you’re looking for botique companies like RoMa Craft Tobac, you’ll find a few sizes of their CroMagnon and Aquitaine line here.
The seats are comfortable, which is a plus, and they have two TVs on opposite ends of the store to provide some entertainment. The lounge is generally tame, but occasionally you’ll hear mild ambient chatter between some customers.
They provide lockers, but they are limited in availability and you may find yourself on the waiting-​list. Unlike other cigar lounges, Siglo does not charge an obscene amount of money for their locker rentals. It’s not like those country-club’esque member dues and monthlys you find at premium cigar lounges. Overall, there are a good amount of seats, but this is not place you can host a large gathering of cigar smokers. They may be at capacity when it reaches about 20 people, if even that, for the sofa chairs.

Ok thow is a very nice cigar lounge over all. Big walk in humidor and plenty of seating. The reason I am giving the bad review is the guy who works at the shop dose not have knowledge of cigars. He told me a brand I smoke regularly doesn’t carry a cigar I buy from them.

Good selection of cigars, but that is all the «good» I have to say about this place. Customer service was the worst I’ve ever experienced in my years of smoking cigars. The employee who eventually «helped» me showed absolutely no interest in the questions I had asked him. I ONLY ASKED HIM IF THEY CARRIED A CERTAIN CIGAR! Not a tough question. The employee then proceeded to insult me by explaining why the cigar I had asked for was a bad choice (Joya de Nicaragua 1970). Hard to like a place where you feel like an idiot.

–Nice cigar lounge, nice comfortable charis, good place to relax.
— Two big screen tv’s
— large walk in humidor with great selection. All range of prices.
— the only DOWNSIDE is not having WIFI for customers. It’s 2014!!! WIFI in a place like this is a must. I hope they fix this, it would make it a 5star for sure.

Last minute find while visiting for the weekend. Good selection of top brands and house blend cigars. Clean, spacious lounge and excellent staff.

I make it a habit to come here during my lunch break and relax. Decent lounge and selection with good prices. If you find a seat, you’ll be lucky. If you find one by the back, you’ll be lucky enough to view the big screen they have there. Clerk seems nice enough to let you eat food while smoking a cigar. I’ve gotten some good cigar advice here before.

Not my favorite cigar lounge but it is reliable, comfy and great place to hang with the homies. They keep a wide selection of cigars and the service is fair.
My favorite thing about this place is that the cigar lockers that they rent are cheap and connected directly to the walk in Humidor.
I have only met Tony and Gary (Quiet fellas for the most part) but I get a good vibe from them and they appear to be quite knowledgeable of the product on hand.
One Con is that they do not provide WiFi which is a drag for me since I usually am there with my iPad or Laptop.
Overall experience is a positive one and I would recommend to anyone.
Hope this helps, be well,
Remark

A good selection of sticks, which will probably bring me back. I’ve just never met a cigar sales person that showed such a complete disinterest in a customer. I think the guy said all of two words, despite my charming personality. There’s gotta be a better place than this in Orange County.

Siglo Cigar Lounge otherwise known as Fair Oaks Cigars according to their business-​lit sign. Low key sort of cigar lounge and also my very first ever cigar and lounge. I’m sure there are big ballers out there (newport mesa area) that come in and open up their lockers filled with delicious goodness. Yes, they offer lockers here for a minimal price.
So I don’t really know much about cigars but what I can tell you in that this place has a cozy lounge. When you walk in, there is a coffee table surrounded by leather lazy boys and a couch on the left. A flat screen TV is up in the corner of this nook for some background noise. As you walk in further straight, you are greeted by the staff and checkout desk. Straight ahead is a glass room in which you open up the doors to a climate controlled room filled with cigars from the ground up.
They also sell soda pop and water but bring your own scotch, whiskey, or beer of your own liking. OR bring your own mixers. Ice is self served as well as glassware. They probably just expect you to abide by the pack in and pack out universal language. As you walk towards the bathroom in the back left, you come across 4 rows of 2 lazy boys. They are positioned in a way in which its almost like a home movie theatre.
Overall, this is a man cave with a few women here and there. Worth a trip to go and smoke cigars. Get away from the wifey and kids.

This is a really chill cigar lounge, but I wish there was a nice bar for drink options. The service is so-​so and they’re not too chatty. So I’m not sure if it’s a miss day, but I guess engaging customer services is not their style.
The humidor carries a decent variety of cigars. The place is well kept, so it offers a selection to sure please the occasion. Maybe a lunch break, after work smoke or just a weekend lounge. The lounge does get pretty packed starting on Friday nights, when it’s time to unwind and relax. It appears the average age group is in the early 40s, but I was happily surprised to see a mixture of people.

Nice bar. Crowd can be hit or miss. Most of the time the fellow smokers are pleasant and content to hold a conversation but sometimes you’ll get the 40+ business type who will turn their nose if you’re not wearing the same 3pc, Rolex and Italian leather shoes as them.
The walk-​in is well stocked and their prices range from entry level to connoisseur. Some sticks are marked up a bit more than other bars but some are legitimately lower so it’s worth a look for yourself. The staff is good too, they don’t mind pointing you in the right direction if you’re a bit out of your element.
I would recommend this place and have. More as a shop than a lounge though. But worth the visit either way.

This is the best place to go to on a Friday or Saturday night for cigar lover bar none!
I found it no more than 3 years ago and even though my husband and I don’t go as much as we’d like, every time we’re there, everyone is so warm and welcoming!
The cigars are great, the lounging is awesome, and they always have something going.

I operate best when I am in great shape.
Isn’t that true of all of us?
So when I noticed that (despite my incredibly rigorous workout schedule and my natural proclivity to be «svelte») I had «porked up» a little bit, well, I was concerned!
What had happened to upset the gentle Yin and Yang of my life?
Was I «eating» too much?
Was I not «exercising» enough?
Was I using too many «quotation marks» when I wrote?
Probably, but in any event, I instead settled on the fact that I had fallen into an incorrect and (possibly) illconceived «Toxify/​Detox/​Retox» cycle!
That’s a classic lifestyle mistake, by the way (or BTW as the kids all write on their pocket typing machines).
Once I figured it out, I was well on my way to regaining my trim and fit physical presence.
One of the keys to my regimen is a good cigar!
Not many personal trainers will tell you that… in fact none will tell you that (although I know a couple of trainers that smoke Camel’s like they are going out of style… and couple that smoke the old White Owl, too… but that’s a story for another time).
As an essential part of my march back to the tippy top of the health and fitness dog-​pile, I indulge in an occasional stogie to balance the other forces at work in my life… the goodness and light that is the Beautiful Carin… the dark energy at work in the Higgs Field that surrounds us all (and I don’t have a Higgs Field Disruptor… yet), the increasingly heavy gravity on this planet and all the other factors dancing through my typical day.
I use a variety of resources to keep my lovely humidor well stocked with cigars against the occasional immediate need for a toxification or retoxification that requires more than mere greasy food and the spirit of single malt scotch whiskey.
One of the resources I use is Siglo Cigar Lounge!
They have a terrific selection of both expensive and «everyday» cigars, beautiful cigar related tchotchkes, a knowledgeable staff and a bunch of big old comfortable easy chairs to sit around in and indulge yourself in a test drive of that AVO Pyramides that you just shelled out $ 12 for (90 minutes after you fire it up, it’s gone… but what a blissful 90 minutes).
If I’m feeling especially non-​toxic (say after a six mile run or something), I will bring my flask along when I drop by Siglo to purchase a few cigars.
I slink down in my easy chair, fondling my precious purchases, fire up an Upmann Toro and watch Sportscenter on the big screen for an hour or two, while discreetly enjoying the retoxifying beverage in my flask!
I don’t know if they notice me or not, but if they do, they’ve been nice enough not to say anything, so… so far, so good!
And the buzz from a giant cigar, combined with the buzz from my beverage choice are the indicators that let me know «it’s working»!
So far, I’ve lost about 40 lb’s since June… just by balancing the forces at work in my life!
I would write a book about it, but I think I am going to become a personal trainer instead.
Using cigars and whiskey as part of a personal training program brings a completely new meaning to «feel the burn».

Went during lunch again today as I used to… Gary was working — pretty funny jokes in his bag. Grabbed a really short Padron Series 1926 at a great price and puffed away in front of the flat panel…
Parked out front, there was a Bentley, a Maserati, and an AMG CL63… so the place definitely remains high-​class, with great patrons and awesome service… What I love most, is that the place is reasonably priced — especially for it being in Newport Beach!
They now have the humidifying packets in the take-​out bags (maybe for a limited time — dunno), but it sure looks a lot nicer when you’re handing your boss some cigars that look (and smoke) pampered.
Will return at least once a week!
