Habana House Cigar Lounge North Austin — Attraction in Austin

Great cigar lounge I found on a fluke. Drove by the far north location and saw the cigar sign, but was concerned with blackout windows that it was closed or vacant. But, soon found my way inside and have recommended the place to others in & out of Austin. I was told they have the best humidor in the ATX-hard to argue with it. Prices are more than I care for, but the patrons are friendly, talkative & quick to accept you, extremely clean & it has a comfortable layout to watch news or sports. The membership is also a great idea in saving a few bucks if you smoke regularly. It's my 2nd favorite cigars lounge in Austin.

My 2nd favorite cigar shop & lounge in Austin? Pipe World is #1, but this is a close 2nd, if not soon to be first with the closing of Heries & Legacies. This family owned business was started by the guy who owned Ruta Maya coffee shop (remember that, Austinites?). Well, when Ruta folded it's down town location the owner decided it was a great opportunity to diversify with not only coffee, but tobacco. So, he struck out conservatively and wisely into being a tobacconist. The result, two beautiful and popular locations North & South. I was told by one customer before I visited that they had the best humidor in the city-which is true. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable, the hours are phenomenal and the selection other worldly. They also have multiple events of lesser known tobacco companies and specials for their high roller patrons. This works because from what I've been told, due to the owner doing his research, listened to and hiring very savvy managers who have put together the equivalent of Las Vegas in the desert. Finally, he did the smartest thing possible-stayed away and let his business flourish.

So, why #2 & not #1, two reasons, just two (and I'm particular) first, the North location is near Lakeway Mall (30-45 minutes north of DT-but accessible even by city bus), but the southern location (much smaller) is closer to DT just past St. Edwards University (also accessible by city buses). The 2nd is they are pricey-I mean steep. As a bargain cigar smoker, there's not many $5 and under sticks to be found in the humidor (and there's been a recent spike in some brands prices as much as .50 cents per stick)-definitely no Bueno!-but I can't blame HB-thank you FDA.

If you're in Austin and are a cigarvor pipe smoker looking for a lounge HH is a MUST. You'll...

Recent transplant to Habana House after my dear home cigar shop closed. I couldn't think of a nicer and more friendly neighborhood lounge to replace them with. The walk-in humidor has all my favorite sticks and even a number of new ones that I have still yet to try. The owner and all the staff are so helpful and easy to talk to, and can always recommend something new for me if I ask. The ambiance is relaxing and easy-going. I enjoy sitting in the comfortable chairs in the back corner lounge with my laptop in the evenings to work on homework. Love chatting with/listening to all the banter that goes on between the regulars down there! Habana House is definitely a new...

I went to Habana House to meet some friends. I decided to buy two 10 cigar bundles. One was labeled at $8.99 per cigar. The other labeled at $7.99 per cigar. As I was being rang up one of the guys said to another guys these say $8.99 not 7.99 in the computer. The second employee said yes 8.99. I asked "so you're not going to charge me what they are labeled by you" and he said no. Since this is the second time I've had them do something like this I did not buy the bundles. On top of that the second employee was just kind of rude. I will not purchase anything from them again. It was at the north location. I purchase a single cigar to have...
