Walking into this lounge is like entering a parlor from a PBS show set during the Edwardian era. Comfy seating, interesting art, and plenty of conversation. When you are there you are Dale's guest, not just a customer.

I normally go to another lounge but happened to check GoogleMaps to see if there was one closer to me. I found this place and glad I did. The owner is very nice, friendly and the lounge was very inviting. The owner had a great selection of cigars. I believe I found my new home spot. I highly recommend you check them out if you haven’t already.
Thank you so much for taking the time to give us an opportunity. It was a pleasure meeting you and have great conversations. Having a cigar is always a great way to end a day.

The cigars are great and large selection. The owner Dale is phenomenal. He is like a therapist, psychologist and cigar guru. I recommend this cigar lounge.

I decided to stop in Elgin Cigar and Art and was pleasantly surprised with the atmosphere! It was located on Route 31 right downtown which is not where I expected a place to get cigars. There was a great selection of cigars! Originally, I was just going to grab a couple cigars and leave and I'm glad I didn't. I met the owner, Dale, and he suggested a couple cigars that he said were great so I figured I would take his advice. I've been enjoying cigars for over 30 years so I know a thing or two about cigars so it was refreshing to have Dale confidently suggest these cigars. Then the experience got even better while sitting in the extremely comfortable lounge smoking the cigar! I had very engaging conversation with Dale about business, the economy and many other life topics! I highly suggest stopping in the Elgin Cigar and Art!
Jason, Thank you so much for taking the time to right a review and sharing your experience with others. I am grateful and fortunate to meet kind people and share our experiences and learn from each other on this journey. The pleasure was all mine. Thank you for taking the time to stop by the shop and, I hope to see you in the future.
