    One of the finest boutique cigar lounges in the country as far as I'm concerned. Abe knows the business like no one. Great selection (including more lanceros than any shop west of the mississippi). I really like the casual, tastefully Western rustic environment. Comfortable, quiet, and friendly. This will be my Phoenix home away from home from now on.

    I come here a lot. It’s sad that people are bitter and leaving false reviews saying that the seats are dirty. The seats here are extremely comfortable and very clean, I’ve seen plenty of other folks here fall asleep as they relax with an amazing cigar in hand. I feel lucky to have such a clean and welcoming shop with such a prestigious and extensively curated collection of premium boutique cigars available for my smoking pleasure. The shop owner and the other employees are always friendly and more than happy to provide excellent customer service and set you up with some fine cigars that you will enjoy.

    What can I say that hasn’t already been said. This is the destination of Cigar lounges in Arizona and across the US. You can’t find a better selection of the finest boutique brands. Abe Froman is like a walking encyclopedia of cigar and tobacco knowledge. I’ve never seen such a wide variety of cigar choices. There’s over 900 cigars to choose from, over 65 lanceros. The lounge is clean, comfortable and welcoming. Embargo sets the standard for what a cigar lounge is.

    If you're looking for a laid back lounge with knowledgeable staff & a great selection of boutique cigars, this is the place to go. They have a large indoor lounge & courtyard style outdoor area for when the weathers agreeable. It's just a nice, friendly & relaxing place to enjoy a stick. And for a place that's filled with cigar smoking dudes, the restrooms are always immaculately clean...

    Amazing experience. Rustic, understated, and not a huge establishment, but quaint, friendly, peaceful, joyous, and delightful. Their humidor is the best I've seen, and cigar selection seemingly endless. The air purifiers or circulation system is of the highest quality. And their expert is highly knowledgeable. I. Will. Be. Back.

    Cool people hanging, laughing and enjoying a good smoke. Great selection of smokes, relaxing environment, will be back. Normally I only give 5 star reviews to God's, but I'll make an exception for this place. The night I was there they were trying NATO which is a nasty Japanese dish. The reactions were Fab!

    I don’t do lounges much as I’m a busy person but came in to this shop to check out there selection and they carry a nice one not your typical repeated cigar you see at every shop. Gentlemen that was there was nice. I got two good cigar and sticked around to smoke one was empty to say yet the least but I can only imagine when it’s a full house must be fun! Would definitely recommend to anyone and more than happy to be returning here to shop for my monthly cigars

  • 5/5 kungfootattoo 9 months ago on Google
    This place is all about Cigars. I love that I can bring in my own beverage to sit & smoke. I don’t drink alcohol which makes bar style lounges awkward for me. Everyone is super chill here. The patio is great in the cooler months. The cigar selection is so good it’s almost overwhelming.I drive 40min. From Gilbert because it’s that nice.

    Embargo is a wonderful experience all around. If you are just looking for a place to stop in and grab a quick cigar they have very knowledgeable staff that can help point you in the right direction of the perfect cigar for your pallet. If you’re looking to relax and enjoy your cigar they have a very comfortable and welcoming lounge. The have a great patio for the nicer parts of the year and just an all around fantastic experience. Embargo is either already your go to cigar lounge or you haven’t been here yet!!!

    Best Cigar Lounge in Phoenix. Locally owned and operated. Largest selection of boutique cigars in the valley. Non-pompous atmosphere. Leave the briefcase at home and just ask for "Chicken." He will help you with all of your cigar needs and questions.

    Embargo Cigars offers a great selection of boutique cigars. David and Chicken are great at making recommendations based on your individual tastes. The lounge itself is a great place to relax and enjoy a cigar and engage in great conversations. Great for game days! They also have a patio that makes spending an entire day here easy to do.

  • 5/5 Colton M. 1 year ago on Google
    Absolutely awesome lounge! Great cigar collection to pick from with really affordable pricing. A very welcoming atmosphere brought on by the staff that runs the front counter goes, he was super friendly and so knowledgeable about all the cigars and brand manufacturers that they supply in their giant walk-in humidor. Being new to the cigar community I felt right at home in this lounge and having all my questions answered in a kind, friendly manner. Will definitely go back every time I pass through Phoenix.

    Hunting for a great cigar lounge in the Phoenix area? Search no further! Came across the Embargo Cigar Lounge and am duly impressed. It is a boutique lounge with a truly amazing line of cigar options. Customer service is on par with the cigar options and true to cigar lounge standards, expect a bit of comic relief from the locals. Plan for indoor/outdoor seating options and coffee, sodas, water onsite. Ample parking available. So, give them a try, sign up for their perks and order online if you need to, you won't be disappointed.

    Great humidor, staff and ownership. This is a place I'd drive miles across the Valley to hang out in. In fact, I did just that on the suggestion of a friend whose knowledge and opinion I respect. Found a handful of terrific lanceros: Tatuaje Brown Label, El Gueguense, Don Pepin Blue and Fume D'Amours... crazily good, the lot of them. A nod of my head, salute and thank you to my buddy, Anil, who pointed me towards Embargo.

    I love coming to this cigar lounge. It feels like home when your here. Comfortable chairs with foot rests for everyone. Friendly knowledgeable staff, the best boutique cigar selection in town. Open early Sundays for football at 10 with multiple flat screens inside and out. Definitely worth coming in and relaxing with a cigar.

    Embargo cigar bar is the place to go if you're a cigar nerd...I mean "boutique cigar aficionado." they are the place to go to get the things that most cigar stores aren't carrying, and in sizes that they don't necessarily carry them in. the chairs are comfortable, and they have Ottomans for almost everybody.
