The Cigar Vault Oakdale — Local services in Oakdale

I've been to a lot of local cigar shops in the Pittsburgh area and a regular to a few. There's always a commonality amongst most cigar entities in the area for me: they all lack some part of the recipe.

New kid on the block Cigar Vault Oakdale shows up, hitting an instant homerun. The location is great. Oakdale has plenty of small-town vibes and friendliness without the drawbacks of being secluded and driving out of your way to patronize. Robinson Mall is 10-15 mins down the road. Pittsburgh International is equal time away. Maybe only 30 mins outside the city of Pittsburgh. Parking options are great and there's plenty of local food and amenities nearby.

The facility is fantastic. Leather couches and chairs everywhere. Not cheap ones either. Very comfortable and supportive. The couches even recline to boot. Several smart TVs are well distributed around the lounge with remotes for each unit. Multiple nooks allow your party to feel cozy and separate from others while still being part of the overall vibe. The balance of natural and electrical lighting is great. Bathrooms are very clean and bright. Everything has been touched and redone for their opening. Ventilation is great for an enclosed space with standard ceiling heights. I have not been here with a lot of occupants so that experience could change with increased capacity. The lounge also features lockers for rent.

Service is top notch. Owners Norm and Miguel, and manager Johnny are all great and personable people. Their service has been top notch and is obvious they're passionate about cigars their patrons. They've gone above and beyond for myself and my friends.

The humidor is, in my opinion, one of if not the best in the area. Boutique cigar choices line every inch of the room, with a few house blends thrown in, which are very good in my opinion. The shelves and walls are all an African variant of Spanish Cedar, and the atmosphere feels very consistent because of it.

In conclusion, this is a MUST SEE for those into cigars, pipes, and hookah. I plan on being a regular here for the foreseeable future. At the time of this review, their official opening isn't for another week, but this is about as solid as a soft opening gets. I'm looking forward to the future Cigar Vault Oakdale and wishing them great success, and I believe that won't be hard for...

Stopped in and was welcomed by the owners Norm and Miguel, then also met Johnny the manager. Toured the humidor, like a “kid in a candy store”.

They have a wall of beautiful lockers for rental, and La Marzocco Espresso machine, using fresh roasted and ground local beans.

The space is spread out, comfortable, the air handling is top notch, and their boutique selection is one of the best in Pittsburgh that I have seen. They carry many desirable sticks from brands you wont usually find at any brick n mortar locally.

It is a great new shop that you should stop in, check out, have a coffee, and visit if looking for a premium experience with friendly people while expanding your palate with different selections.

Several dining options and a brewery all walking distance.

Higher speed stable internet connections and several niche seating areas with tvs for a more “private” lounge experience. Cold beverage fridge with waters, and sodas for purchase. It’s also BYOB if...

I have been to around close to a hundred lounges and in spite of being new they are very near the top, if not the top. They know cigars well are very well priced and have so many cigars I have never seen elsewhere and I have felt like Indiana Jones choosing the right grail many times while trying cigars that were new to me. I just know in my travels for work I will be disappointed with how rare I am sure to see some of them as they are quite good. The lounge is roomy and inviting, yet private and quiet enough to find a corner and do work if I wanted to. They do games on their tvs and with cards or board games and I hope I am in town for...
