If you live in Meridian, you're lucky. If you're visiting or just passing thru, then ya gotta checkout The Vault. The owners (Josh & Lori) are awesome. Michelle & Jeff are great too. Fantastic selection of boutique brands, laid out nicely in a well-kept humidor. Comfortable seating. Good beer, wine, and spirits to choose from. Seating out back on the patio as well. Very clean shop. Point-of-Sale accepts Google & Apple Pay. If I ever make it back to town, I know where I'll be 👍👍

James T Horton

Great whiskey selection, decent cigar selection. The staff is always friendly and helpful. The only reason I can’t rank it higher is the terrible exhaust system. I love cigars, but I’d prefer to only taste the one I’m smoking. Even when the open the windows, it’s not much help. This would be 4-5 stars easy if they upgraded to more powerful blowers.

B Evans

This full-service cigar lounge is one of, if not the best I have ever been to. The place if first rate. From the owner, staff, lounge comfort and layout. Welcoming and friendly down to earth patrons. Superb selection of fine cigars and "refreshment's"

Riley Timmons

This place is amazing and owned by the best people. This is a full service cigar lounge. Fantastic cocktails to enjoy with the most flavorful cigars. Not to mention a relaxing enviorment with cozy chairs. The staff is so helpful if you don't know what you are looking for, check it out.

Jed Jenkins

If you like cigar bars, this is the place to go. I absolutely hate cigar bars, but I am occasionally "influenced" to go for certain work functions. The vault is by far the best cigar bar I have ever had the dissatisfaction of visiting. 5 stars if I was a cigar smoker.

Alan P

Amazing cigar joint for amazing people to enjoy amazing cigars with an amazing selection in an amazing location in old Meridian

Cris Wesselman

Excellent selection of cigars and very helpful staff. Great place to hang out, relax and unwind.

Nathen bennett

Great place! Relaxed atmosphere. When the wife and I can get away on a date night this is our go to place! She loves the cocktails!

Keith Freeman

This place is one of a kind. Selection...off the charts. Prices...can’t be beat. Atmosphere....get the f^%k outta here! This is a slice of heaven. You NEED to come here.

Paul Wilmot

If you love cigars and whiskey, this is your place. Quiet conversation in comfortable chairs , with a knowledgeable staff. The location is also very quaint, situated in Old Town Meridian . They have an excellent ventilation system for the cold months and one does not feel overwhelmed with the dense fog of aromas. For the the warmer seasons, they have unique roll up garage doors, and an outdoor patio to enjoy the ambience.

Sonny Moore

Came to Idaho for our nieces wedding and found The Vault. Love the brick and mortar building and the atmosphere. Great customer service, owners and staff! Great job. A place where your known by name ;) Hey Norm!

Matt Luman

I like cigars, but am a pretty novice cigar smoker. The staff was very helpful in making a choice. Very knowledgeable about what kind of awards some had earned. Cigars from many different countries! I am however pretty versed in Whiskey and cocktails, and Kat makes a mean old fashion !!!!!!

Jody F

Great atmosphere, drinks and employees. The y REALLY need to work on ventilation. By far the worst cigar lounge I've been to for smoke. Yes, I know, it's a cigar lounge. The old fashioned that they made us was on point and a great cigar selection.

Chad Hall

Huge selection of small batch and boutique cigars, cozy environment and was much busier than I expected. Good conversation and service.

Shawn Archer

Here on a Friday night and the place was packed. Great vibe and by far the best old fashion I have ever had. Staff was friendly and knowledgeable. Nice selection from the humidor. Great conversation from regulars in the shop.

Sierra Nicole

This is a great space run by great people. The owners and staff genuinely care about each customer. Josh and Lori are very knowledgeable about cigar selection and have classes available to learn more. They are top notch individuals and have created an amazing atmosphere to enjoy others and smoke great cigars.

Aaron Huntsinger

Great selection, service and ambiance. Loved the quiet outdoor seating.

Walter Nau

Great cigar selection and a very good menu of Bourbon and Scotch. Their Old Fashioned was very good as well (made with Templeton 4 yr Rye. I'll definitely be back.

Bill Elkins

A good cigar, a REALLY good Old Fashioned, and a great time learning about cigars from a knowledgeable and passionate instructor. Overall a fantastic experience. Highly recommend the Cigar 101 class with Josh Also... if Cuban John happens to be attendance, try his coffee. Amazing!

Justen Colton

Amazing cigar shop/lounge. Plenty of seating and very spacious. Staff is incredibly friendly, and knowledgeable. Wonderful selection of cigars, not many name brands, but very affordable, broad, and flavorful selection. Would highly recommend anyone stop by, beginners, and afficianados alike.

Lonnie Schott

If you're a cigar lover you have to check the Vault out. My 1st experience was an intro to cigar class a few weeks ago. Even though I've been smoking cigars for over 30 years I found the class interesting and informative. Their humidor contains unusual and unique cigars not found in other cigar shops including Sturmans. They now have a liquor license and are serving upscale liquor and cocktails. This is a must for all cigar aficionados...a great place to hang out and relax in comfortable leather chairs and enjoy the comradery with other aficionados. Watch for more classes and tasting events.

Rick Scott

Awesome cigar and whiskey bar! Great selection of high end scotches and bourbons. Great service and great atmosphere for business or pleasure. This is a place I would love to play guitar in and chill.

Levi Selwyn

Like this place a lot. Used to have time to go more, though they are always very helpful. There is always someone there to help you with choosing a smoke. Nice size cozy lounge. Full bar - recent addition. Usually a fun place to go.

Jacob Shin

Very cool cigar lounge, great service, very lax atmosphere. Cigar selection was good and good local beers in cans and bottles. Looking forward to when they get their liquor license to enjoy a little scotch with my stogie.

Dr. Steven Penny, M.D.

Excellent lounge experience. Staff understands what customer service is. Cigar prices are very high though. I will return for my holiday cigars. Beautiful beautiful architecture.

Brian Cottrell

Josh & Lori are long time friends. I'm so proud of them for how they have been involved in Meridian, Idaho. I've visited the Vault and been so impressed in the Evert's hospitality and knowledge. It's worth the time and effort to visit the Vault and learn about the cigar community. It's a honor for me to know the Evert's and to share these words about " The Vault " with you.

Steven Matthews

Nice atmosphere, Excellent Selection of cigars, Good conversation, Wonderful place to relax for a minute. It has become my favorite stop after work for ME! The owners are people who cares about people. And very knowledgeable about cigars. This place is comfortable and entertaining it's a must stop

Bill Brocklesby

This is a great place to get some amazing cigars. They have it set up so that choosing the right cigar is easy. The staff is very welcoming and knowledgeable, ready to help you out. The couches and chairs are quite comfortable, and they have a few filter units spread out throughout the room to ensure you are not inundated with smoke. I love this place and can't wait to get back there.

Dirk Hansen

Updated 7/30 After finally finding enough time to stay for a drink I changed my 4 star rating to 5. Great Old Fashoned and my wife really enjoyed the staff recommended Man Down cocktail. Very clean establishment and wonderful staff.

Paul Bull

Very nice place that is comfortably furnished and great to sit and enjoy a cigar. They now have a system to get rid of a lot of smoke so now my wife can even come and sit and visit and not smell like smoke. They have a great selection of fine cigars. The cigars are priced fair for the most part. They have cold drinks, and a good selection of beers. They also have wine and port although I think those two items are really over priced. I love sitting and relaxing while smoking a cigar, just no more port. If you are at all interested in the cigar experience, this is the place to go on the Treasure Valley. Definitely recommended.

Jay Noller

Owners and Staff are fantastic and incredibly knowledgeable. The humidor always has new product to try and has a great selection. Have yet to have anything other than a great experience!

Hiram Harris

Great smokes, comfy chairs and good conversation await all who enter this terrific stogie shop. A must stop for Boise area visitors.

Mat “The Butcher” Fleishans

We went last night for the first time, pretty good selection in the humidor, I would call this a medium size. The owner and staff are extremely friendly and helpful, there were about 15 people in the place smoking, again super friendly. Really nice vibe, great smoke ventilation. They also has very a nice selection of drinks. We will be back when in town

Cody Hardman

I'm from out of state and was looking was a cigar lounge while visiting family. After a quick search and reading reviews i decided to come here. I'm glad i did. The staff was fantastic. He gave me a thorough run down on all there cigars and even recommended one i have never tried. Experience was awesome. Thank you.

Evan Franklin

The Vault is a second home for every customer that walks through their doors! The owners Josh and Lori are amazingly generous people. They have the best selection of cigars in the valley and are very knowledgeable about them! I haven’t ever been to a business where I felt more like a part of the family than The Vault and they have a customer and friend for life in me!

shawn miles

Great staff, great atmosphere. Full bar, top shelf premium cigars.patio,lounge. One of the best shops I've ever been in.

Shannen Sauret

What a historic gem in growing downtown Meridian! The building was restored beautifully, the cigar selection is off the charts, and there is a nice little selection of adult beverages (even GF beer!). If you’re lucky, you’ll run into Cigar Don Williams himself, or his wife who will also weirdly answer to that name. 10/10 such a great spot; do recommend.

hillary duncan

As far as Ambiance and a place to go and enjoy your cigar, this place is it. I like the atmosphere and the walk-in humidor room is wonderful in size and they have top-notch Brands available. I also like that do you can buy used cigar boxes here as well.

Gary Wood

Great atmosphere! Just what you would hope to find in a cigar lounge - leather chairs, friendly people, good conversation, excellent cigars, perfectly humidified. And they are always happy to help find the right cigar for you or for a gift!

Denise Lefler

A wonderful cigar location with all the necessary amenities. The owners & their employees are very knowledgeable. Great walk-in humidor! Love this place!

Tim Johnson

Great,relaxing gathering place. Can't wait to go back.

Matt Hashimoto

Best selection, great atmosphere along with great owners! The owners are very interactive with all of the customers and they have a great staff that is full of knowledge about all of the cigars in stock. Staff is very interactive with the customers also. Hand down, Best cigar lounge in Idaho!

Will Payne

I gave four stars because of the very friendly staff and the chill atmosphere. However, I feel the prices are a bit high for the quality of cigars that they have, so I could not give five stars. Not that they are bad, just not my thing. They need a more variety of tobacco types, they only had about two different cigars that were a different tobacco than the rest. I like Maduros and darker tobaccos with a nice light Connecticut from time to time, both of those are a rarity in this store. They didn’t have any Romeo Y Julieta or Joya De Nicaragua, both are very good selling brands with a decent quality tobacco and are usually a favorite mid-grade of most aficionados. A lot of off-brands with a couple known low to mid-grades like La Galera and some higher end cigars like Padrón (even in Maduro) overall it’s a fairly nice store that would benefit greatly from a more varied selection of tobaccos.

Mark Ciccarello

Josh the owner is over accomodating and super gracious with his knowledge and hospitality. Bought $150 worth if some of the best cigars you can buy. He even gave me a very special cigar you cant even buy. Super happy with this place. I'll be going back a lot.( helps I only live 2 Mile's away!!🤗) …

Joey Harris

One of the nicest smoking lounge & cigar shops in the US. Staff are super helpful and knowledgeable about cigars. They take the time to get you into a good cigar for what you are looking for, from their walkin humidor. My favorite go to spot to bring visiting cigar lovers. JH

Earl

I’ve been to quite a few cigar lounges around the country. The atmosphere here is absolutely amazing. Very knowledgeable staff, friendly customers, and an overall inviting feel make this the perfect place to relax.

Darrin Pampaian

This is the best place in the Treasure Valley to enjoy a cigar. Their selection is unbelievable and the cocktails are incomparable.

Ross Weitzner

Nice people, neat building. The selection of sticks is a bit limited, but you can find something you'll like. My single complaint is in the lack of ventilation. An exhaust fan someplace at the top of the room, venting out, would really go a long way in making it a much nicer place to stay for an hour or two.

Justin Jordan

Josh and Lori (owners) are amazing people that are leading the way in making downtown Meridian an even better place to live and play. The Vault serves top notch cigars with top notch customer service and friendship. It’s a place you want to be at. I can’t say enough good things about the Vault’s vision, culture and values!

Kristen Lyons

I don’t smoke cigars but Evan helped me with a very old Zippo lighter that belonged to my father who passed away 20 years ago. I wanted to give it to my son, but the lighter needed serious TLC. After calling cigar shops all over town, Evan was the only one who helped me. He not only got the lighter working he didn’t charge me! Thank you Evan for your expert Zippo skills and knowledge, and for being so kind!

Scott Rognlie

Great service, cigars and Old Fashioned.

Brian Easley

Good lounge. Lots of nice leather chairs to kick back with a cigar. Large selection of boutique cigars. Also have beers and other drinks for sale.

Good Egg

Evan is the man - very good at looking out for everyone here. The Vault also has a great selection of cigars you can't really find elsewhere

Jeffrey Brown

Local cigar shop and smoking lounge. Very cool atmosphere. Good cigars, good people, and good prices Good variety, check what's in stock online.

Bungalow Bill

Great customer service and cool hangout. I had a cigar that just was a difficult one to smoke. They had none of that and asked me to pick another cigar on the house. Who does that? The Vault does. Good place.

Steve Morgan

Wow! My brother and I came here for Italian wine night. Great selection of cigars, comfortable chairs and super friendly staff. A cigar smokers dream.

Top notch place

Larry VanNewkirk

Nice place, could use better exhaust system.

Baily Dekker

I went for the first time with some friends who regularly go. I really liked the ambiance. They are clearly a little unorganized but not so much that it’s an issue. It kinda adds to the magic of the place. I ordered a Jack and Coke and some how ended up paying 30 bucks for it. I think it was my choice of whiskey but anyways… it was a very fun calm place. Great place if you want to meet people. Everyone is super friendly.

Joal Curtis

We don’t deserve a cigar bar like the Vault in Meridian. It’s always fun, has great cigar selections, wine options, good company and conversations. Classy place!
