Reviews of SMoKE Cigar Lounge
While visiting Philadelphia.....I asked around about where I should go to relax....unwind and enjoy a cigar. Several people told me the exact same place...SMoKE Cigar Lounge.
I looked them up on my GPS...and off I went!
Upon entering I was immediately greeted by Kosta and Eli who made me feel welcomed and right at home.
Their selection of cigars while boutique were exquisite and complimented my pallet quite well.....shout out to Eli for his recommendations!
The Lounge's decor was very calming and relaxing and the couches were as comfortable as slipping into your favorite old pair of jeans that you misplaced then re-found when you needed them the most!
What made my time at SMoKE Cigar Lounge even more pleasant was how well it's members made me feel.....special shout out to Rashid and Erica.....(and that Basil Hayden's Toast)
SMoKE Cigar Lounge epitomizes the LOUNGE aspect of a cigar lounge in every way.....my Steelers didn't win that night...but in meeting Kosta...Eli...and SMoKE Cigar Lounge.....it certainly made accepting the loss a little easier to swallow!
If you're in Philadelphia....go visit SMoKE Cigar Lounge.....you absolutely won't regret it.

This place is really great! The lounge areas are very comfortable and the service by the hosts will make you feel right at home. I've been here twice with my wife and our friends and the cigar-tenders are knowledgeable, very courteous and always find good smokes for everyone. The cigar selection is not vast, but it is definitely curated by someone who knows their stuff. I'll go back just to find specific cigars they have that no one else seems to carry.
Bring something to drink - they will provide the glasses, ice and just about anything else you need. Outstanding experience!
Big lounge. Comfy. Nice vibe. Really nice service today. Not sure what it would be like if it was more crowded. I was first person here on a Sunday. 2 cigar minimum per person to smoke here. Private labels. Excellent cigar. But expensive.
Smoke cigar lounge is the single best hookah bar I've been to in Philly. Our server - Will - was extremely attentive and awesome. The hostess - Rachel was awesome. The hookah was great. The environment was very low and relaxed vs the extremely hype vibe that many hookah bars in Philly are. I really appreciate how it ended our night
As always, a 5 star experience here. The atmosphere is great, I love the boutique style selection of cigars and fair prices. The staff are always very knowledgeable and the owner Eli is usually around somewhere to say hi as well.
It was ok...hookah prices were a little expensive and, my friends said the flavor was weak.
BYOB but $10pp to drink your own liquor.
Ventilation needs to be better.
Furniture and decor needs to be updated.
Came here with a friend not to long ago. Do have some critiques but they’re minor in relation to the overall experience we had. When I first walked in the selection of cigars seemed a little low. I was not familiar with most of what was available and described what I usually smoke to Eli. He made recommendations and I’m glad I took them. His recommendations were phenomenal smokes. Don’t be discouraged by the “small” looking selection when you walk in, especially if you know what you like as Eli can confidently recommend you something. Pricing was fair for the cigars we bought as well. Not over or under priced. The lounge itself was also unique. It isn’t one large general smoking lounge like most shops but rather semi-private sections with couches around tables. There is a members area for more open seating if that is of interest. I forgot my lighter and cutter on this trip so Eli provided those services. I say services because he cuts and also lights your cigar for you. While most shops have loose cutters and lighters floating around their lounge, this place did not. If you need to relight your cigar or make a second cut (for those that slobber all over your cigars), you’ll need to seek that service out. Eli functioned like a waiter in restaurant, checking on the tables and the likes.
There are some additional notes worth mentioning. Members are exempt from these (which makes sense as they pay for their membership). Non members are held to a 2 cigar minimum per person to smoke in their lounge and BYOB is $10/per person so my friend and I decided to forgo our adult beverages that evening. The shop does offer more than just cigars here as well if cigars are not your thing. The 2 cigar minimum didn’t bother me as I smoke cigars regularly but my friend does not. If you do decide to become a member, non of the above will apply to you but will apply to any guests you have.
My biggest takeaway was how well Eli knew the cigars he was selling. Through small talk, Eli shared that he thoroughly checks out every cigar he sells and knows everything about them, literally everything. He can tell you what the binder, filler, and wrapper are made of, where they came from, how long they’re aged, and how they’re made. To go with this extensive knowledge, he’ll further share how the different components will mix to create the flavor profile of the cigar. He understands the “why” behind the cigar and clearly communicate that to you.
I’d definitely return to the shop if I’m in the area. It was different experience than what I typically encounter. My ideal experience is to remember my cutter/lighter (rookie move) and forgo the byob option here. I also think my experience would be completely different if I was here by myself rather than with my friend.
Thanks for recommendations Eli as I have included those cigars into my personal humidors. Looking forward to your next recommendations.
Great cigar bar in Manayunk. Lots of space and tons of seating. Big screen tv's. BYO. $1.50 for every beer you bring. Bring your own glass or cup, (that's what I did). Good cigar collection. Laid back and chill with a good cross section of people; old school cigar afficianado's, and people just getting into the scene, its all here.
The best inventory of mambacho cigars in Philadelphia and the most knowledgeable employee of cigars I have met atmosphere relaxing and very comfortable were just not a customer the establishment want to Know you personally. 5 star from me
Philadelphia has a good handful of cigar purveyors scattered throughout the city and surrounding counties. Each of them have their own little charm. Some are store fronts for cigar manufacturers and distributors while others are more of a “club” with a retail component attached.
Smoke is one of those rare locations that’s there because the owners just love cigars.
Kosta and Eli have a combined lifetime of experience in all aspects of the cigar industry. They even have their own personal blends rolled for them to sell in Manayunk!
They have relationships with many manufacturers and are able to provide some of the very best at affordable prices.
They have an amazing selection of cigars, awesome hookah bar, super comfortable lounge and a great location.
But, what keeps me going back is the non-pretentious, always welcoming, forever helpful and friendly information sharing customer service that each and every staff member presents to all of their customers.
I walked through the doors of this place 3 years ago without knowing a single thing about cigars. They welcomed me since day one and I haven’t stopped going back. I appreciate that they are always willing to share their extensive knowledge, they don’t try to sell you the most expensive item, they go out of their way to make you feel appreciated and above all they operate with honesty and integrity.
Put it to you this way. I literally drive past two prestigious cigar stores to go to Smoke above all others.
So, if you’re looking for one of or if not the best cigar store in the Philadelphia area. Look no further than the experts at Smoke Manayunk.
I’ve traveled around to a lot of cigar lounges. This one was one of the best I’ve been to. Employees are very friendly, always make you feel at home and like one of the family. The staff really know they information about cigars, can give you knowledge on the ones they carry anytime you ask. The atmosphere is very calm cool and collect. Perfect place to get away to, to relax! Great selection!
Top notch customer service! The gentleman who works here, is setting the bar high. I'd definitely go back.
Huge area to bring friends and smoke cigars together, good selection of premium cigars. Very big space, can't stress enough the feeling of executive treatment once you come inside. They have to key you into the cigar lounge and it makes you feel important. Would definitely recommend if your in the area or if there is a sporting event going on you can come watch here with all your friends.
Great lounge, a great atmosphere and extremely exceptional service.
Ask for Eli, great people, shop, and location! Oh as the selection!
Great selection and suggestions for a newbie. A cool and comfortable vibe.
Big screen TV is great, decor looks like it's still in transition though. Humidor wasn't open when we went and there was only a small selection on the counter which was very disappointing.
The most knowledgeable staff hands down and simply great people. Their house brand cigars are top notch.
Love the new look, but not the way things are set-up. The lack of communication. Once we entered, the gentleman closed off the are for seating and asked if he could assist,, but was not very familiar with the medium blends and that same gentleman assumed that I (none of the ladies) didn't smoke because after we purchased our cigars. He cut and lit them my for us without even asking....That is a huge No No !!!!!
Customer service was amazing! It's hard to find businesses that still care about their customers anymore. I was pleasantly surprised at the large cigar collection! Thank you for the clear communication.
Eli with the good hair is a god! Cigar knowledge makes me shimmy! What a wonderful space. If you are a true cigar smoker this is a must visit. Convenient parking right across the street at a cheap lot and indoor/outdoor seating at the lounge along with hookah.
Cool place to watch sports and smoke hookah.
Was passing through Manayunk when i saw a cool rustic sign that said SMOKE. But also a sign advertising the stores own cigars. Being a cigar lover i popped in. The gentleman that greeted me was polite, chill, and knowledgeable. I asked him about the store brands and was specifically looking for lanceros. He gave me a full breakdown of the blends in each stick including the filler, binder, and wrapper which is just awesome service. His knowledge of cigars was clear and made the impression that much better. Ambiance seemed dim and relaxed. Loved the set up. Awesome little spot and would definately recommend if your in the area looking for some boutique smokes.
This place is easily one of the most accessible cigar lounges in Philly. Comfortable sofas set up conversation-style so its great for a group outing. The humidor has a nice selection and the service is excellent. They know their stuff. The BYOB is $6/person for wine or liquor and $1.50/beer bottle so add that to your expenses. Highly recommend by me & my friends.
Awesome place! New in town and they welcomed me like family. The humidor has one of the largest selections of boutique brands I've seen anywhere. Fantastic staff - I dealt with Eric and Eli, both of whom recommended some great cigars. I was also fortunate enough to have lively conversation with one of the owners - Kosta. The lounge itself is massive with a huge projector to watch the game and some of the comfiest seating around. The perfect spot to grab a stick in you're in Philly!
Cool environment. Very laid back. Knowledgeable tobacconist. Very friendly & helpful staff. Hookah & Cigars.
No outside cigars but I was satisfied with my selection.
It's the chilled vibe...and good conversation with people who are just Humans going through the same Life as Me, with their own challenges and victories.
Reasonable prices. Relaxed atmosphere. Comfortable seating. Relatively small, yet quality & diverse selection. Personally, I appreciate the character induced by a hovering cloud of smoke. However, the ventilation system is overwhelmed when the house nears capacity. The cool staff and set-up service nicely round out the byob experience.
Hey it was my man Mike young's birthday I stopped to drop of a cooler for a later in the evening reservation and was told there wasn't a reservation. The main man E..jumped into action and took care of us and explained things politely and reassured me he would be ready for a party of six. We came back after dinner and had a ball. Top notch service was given to us buy mr E and a pretty young lady..thanks again
Very relaxing environment to go to for any occasion whether you are hookah or cigar smoker with a fun friendly and knowledgeable staff.
Super laid back. BYOB options. Wide range of cigars (or hookah) to choose from.
Nice neighborhood cigar lounge. Relaxing sitting areas and open space. Ventilation could be improved to control the smoke a little better. Wide selection of lower tier cigars and a handful of middle tier selections. ***Outside cigars are not permitted, I suggest a $3 cutting fee for allowing outside cigars.
Kudos to owner Kosta & his r/h man Eli for one of the top curated humidors in the whole damn country. Not to mention a shop that also displays a distinctive look & feel, and the above-mentioned top notch staff -- this is a destination cigar lounge. Do yourself a favor and go, put yourself in their hands, and enjoy!
I have been in a lot of cigar shop and this is one of the most beautiful shops I've ever visited. Konsta is the owner and has an incredible palate and is extremely helpful picking out the best Cigar for you. The selection at smoke is top notch and if you can't find a cigar u like at this shop then u don't know cigars. I highly recommend smoke and can't wait to visit again.
Hands down the best cigar bar in Philadelphia. I recently picked this hobby up and I'm glad I found this place. The staff are extremely friendly and more than willing to help when it comes to selecting a cigar in your price range and what you are feeling flavor wise. The staff treat you as if you have been a long time friend, and they always make me feel at home. The customers as well are all very social and easy to talk to.
The owner Kosta is constantly improving the building, every time I come in (once a week) there is always something new. Case in point the lights under the bar and the new chalkboard wall. It's a great atmosphere to come and relax, I can easily spend 2 hours here and leave excited to come back. The couches are INSANELY comfortable and there are two HD projectors.
I drive 40 minutes just to come here because I think it's just that great of a place. I recommend it to everyone I know who likes a good cigar or hookah!
Nice spot to relax and smoke. Great cigar collection they even have their own house brand. They also have hookahs. Con: after 8pm they charge you when you bring in your own bottle and ask for glasses, $6 per person is too much when it's byob and still have to pay if you want ice. A straight setup fee for glasses and ice would be better for customers. Also have to buy a cigar to sit and stay. Ventilation could be a little it better too
Great place, great service, Eli is the best!
Went about two weeks ago for the first time. There were two special events going on so it was rather crowded. Can't beat the fact that it is BYOB. However, the smoke smell was really bad. Didn't really notice it until I left. I frequent cigar bars but the next day I got in my car it smelled like I was still in the cigar lounge. The smell was really strong and got in my clothes way more than normal. Not sure if it was because they also do hookah there or if it was just really crowded and didn't have the ventilation to support it. I'm willing to give it one more shot because I did have a good time. However, if I experience the strong smoke smell the next day in my personal items, it'll be my last time.
Nice variety of tobacco, nice staff, and good vibe. However, just because it's a smoke shop doesnt mean you shouldn't invest in a more effective ventilation system. I love the smell but my guest whom I brought in for hookah could barely stand being in the room. Smoking is smoking but having cigars deafen the room makes the hookah loose flavor and defeats the purpose of hookah being a slightly better alternative to actual tobacco smoke.
Spacious and has cool atmosphere, not too noisy. BYOB
They have an okay selection of cigars. Parking was less than convenient. Smoke was interesting. It was somewhat industrial and garage like in decor. Ventilation seemed like it would handle 20-30 smokers well.
Very nice byob spot ! Good selection of cigars and a very nice laidback chill type of vibe .
Really an amazing cigar lounge. I have visited many cigar shops and lounges. Usually you get a good selection of cigars, a great lounge, or neither. But almost never both. That's where SMoKE is different. Awesome staff and owner as well.
Nice atmosphere employees are very knowledgeable of all the products they carry. This is a wonderful place to go for all your cigar needs
It is a great place when they don't closed off their humidor and force you to buy from one vendor.
I dropped $22 on this Mombacho cigar and it was only slightly better than a Philly you would get at a 7Eleven.
If you’re a smoker you’ll love this place! The decor is perfect. I am not a smoker and it was torture, but hey I knew what I was getting into. The guys that work here are very nice too.
Service is really great, however the atmosphere can be a lot better, there was a guy sleeping on the sofa. The football game was on which set the tone of a sport bar. Won't visit back in a hurry
The owner (Kosta) is such a great guy. He can make cigar or hookah suggestions and is really easy to talk to. The music selection is always really good. The work-week specials are great, too.
This place is totally awesome it had great vibes and the ambiance was very inviting and the cigars were on point. I am definitely going back
I love the place. Excellent cigar and staff.
I especially like the young lady I cant remember her name but she is awesome and so knowledgeable!
Boutique cigar shop with trendy rustic decor and great staff. Bar setup as well as plenty of leather couch seating areas. A great place to enjoy a smoke.
It was a beautiful experience the guy knew all about his selection of fine cigars. Will definitely go back once things go back to normal.
We were here this past Sunday. Everything was great. We will definitely be going back.
Just the best kind of business owner here - knows his stuff, loves the product, loves learning from customers, and cares about you. Highly recommended. Great scene and excellent selection of sticks.
Smoke is a very special place! You can come in with a group of friends and have a blast actually being able to spend time with each other (which is hard to find in the crowded college bars in Manayunk) or come in by yourself and spark up a conversation with one of the awesome regulars. I've spent many days and nights in Smoke with my boyfriend and have left with some new friends and really fun memories.
Sam (male), Sam (female), and Spencer are the greatest employees and if you're lucky enough to become friendly with the owner, Kosta, you'll probably end up with a lifelong friend. Kosta remembers everyone that comes through the door and always introduces himself to people he's never seen. A kid walked down to Smoke for a cigar during a snow storm and Kosta offered to drive him home just because his heart is as big as his beard (big).
Smoke is the best, great cigars, BYOB > bars, comfy couches and awesome people
***drops mic***
Awesome location, cigar and hookah selection. Plenty of ventilation and room to chill. Diverse clientele and conversations. One trip here is all you'll need to keep coming back.
If you are ever in Philadelphia you should definitely make a trip here. The cigar selection is nice and the lounge area is very comfortable.
Chill spot. Seating areas is first class with big chairs and couches. Need bigger selection of cigars and purchasable mixers behind bar.
My happy place. Best selection of boutique cigars Ive seen. Great environment and staff. The fact that it’s byob only adds to the experience.
Great selection and hospitality. Home away from home.
I don't smoke but I went with a friend who enjoys cigars. Good vibes, calm music, comfy chairs...very relaxing.
Should have a way of ventilating the smoke in the air since it gets filled with hookah smoke and cigar smoke. Needs more lively/recent music. And remember no alcohol served here, but bring your own!
Great spot to hit whether you want to just grab what you need or hang out in the chill atmosphere! Great staff! I'll be a friend and customer forever!
Fantastic selections and great atmosphere with the feel of home. Ample space for my group and yours.
Great place to relax or to do work with your laptop. Good selection of cigars. Plenty of space to spread out.
One of the coolest vibes I have ever seen in a cigar lounge!
If they send my requested package on time I will evaluate then
The best hookah and cigar lounge in the area. If only faulted by their use of instant light coals, this minor discrepancy is nothing compared to the phenomenal lounge, selection and flavors available.
I love this spot!!! Great atmosphere, good people and the owner is a cool down to earth person. I highly recommend, you won't be disappointed.
Eli knows his stuff like crazy, great selection and beautiful lounge. Try the Casdagli’s if you’re in, they’re amazing.
Great staff and knowledgeable. They're always welcoming and have spots available at the bar or in the lounge
Always a good experience
The GM is a standing friendly the place is wonderful relaxing that's going to be my spot from now on wonderful cigar selection I love you guys

Great location. Nice selection. Super helpful staff. $10 a head for three people to drink a bottle of wine is too much. Should be $10 flat fee.
