Don't you know not 10 minutes after I sent it I had a response from Daniel the owner. The next day I drove down and had a great experience. The selection is not just good it's tremendous and at great prices. Well worth the drive for me. Don't hesitate to give them a visit.

With limited info on the website, it was tricky to figure out how this place "works" so I'll share…read morefor all here. The cigar lounge has a small but quality selection of cigars for purchase. Perdomo, Fuente (chateau line), Padron 1926 and 1964, etc. Average cigars go for $25, and mid- to top-tier go up from there. Currently in April '23 there's no other charge, but they do have lockers that you can rent through membership which allows you to bring your own cigars and stash a small bottle or two. There is no alcohol or other service, it's just a lounge. It's large, spread across three floors with a restroom on each level. Lots of comfy seating, large TVs available, and would be great for a group to hang out and converse. Very quiet on a Friday night. Had the second floor to ourselves, and a group had the upper floor. Can definitely recommend - it's great to have a spot like this in Albany.

It's closed. Permanently. It's showing as open on maps. It's not. It's gutted. Permanently closed.read more

Lou's Cigar Lounge is a smoker's paradise!…read more I'm from out of town and I planned to first have a nice dinner then slide over to Lou's to smoke a stogie. Walking in, I felt like I was warmly greeted by both the manager and the patrons!? This is easy to remember, I first met Bill and Mitch (My brother in law is also named Mitch) I bought a nice Davidoff Cigar and ordered a Bourbon before sitting down with my new found friends. Here's the cool thing about Rhode Island, they don't have the heavy taxes on Cigars like New York & Boston. Mitch mentioned to me I should try the other Davidoff as well, another great smoke. I mean, when in Rome? I bought (3) cigars in total, two different Davidoffs to take home and enjoy. I asked the manager for a Bourbon, he suggested Colonel Taylor, small batch from Kentucky. Wow! Let's sun this up: Great cigar selections, awesome booze at their bar and the nicest bunch of smokers I've been with in a very long time. A cigar lounge that I highly recommend

My wife and i were pleasently greeted upon entering and were directed to the humador. About 10-15 minutes of looking through the large selection i decided on a cigar of my choice. Upon checking out, i was asked for my ID as i was going to pay for my cigar and a beer. My wife who was simply with me and was not purchasing a regulated item was also asked for ID. Because she was not interested in purchasing she did not bring an ID this evening. She was told she could not be in the building due to "the smoke" the employee failed to site Rhode Island General Law for "Smoking Bars"... I stood there confused, as I own a firearms business and i can site all Weapons Law under RI 11-47 yet this establisment is claiming reference to non existant law. However if it is store policy, It should not have been misrepresented as state law. Also, If it is store policy, ID upon enterence. Not after 10-15 minutes already in the building, with your guided assistance and support up to the point of purchase. Also denying alternate identification. I will not return and i urge others to avoid aswell. Theres plenty of lounges within 10 minutes of this location.

Even though it's a cigar bar and can't smoke in it at the moment....you can buy them and smoke outside. If the smoking ban gets overturned the ventilation system is something out of this world. I've seen it in action at the grand opening. With snacks to boot ....like bacon cheddar fries...soft pretzel braid, pepperoni panini. I'd definitely recommend!!
