Well, I like cigars but you can't just fire them up anymore in your local bar, so you need a place with like minded individuals and that's where William Alexander shines. The place has a "loungey" feel to it, with dim lighting and some deep and cozy couches to kick back on. there are a few tv's in the joint so you can follow the game while enjoying your sticks and they crew working there have a very good working knowledge of what they are selling. Good selection of cigars for all tastes and budgets and you are never rushed along - so sit and anjoy that smoke and make some new friends along the way. They host cigar events from time to time so keep an eye on their Facebook page for those - they are very popular events from what I have seen. Give them a shot! Parking in the rear

When visiting family here in town I just really wanted to have a cigar and relax for a little bit. As soon as I walked in the door, I knew I loved this place. The manager Rick welcomed me right away. I went into the spacious humidor, and they had a great selection of all different brands of cigars. I picked out a couple sticks that I knew that I would like and decided to stay there and have one. The prices were very reasonable. I sat down on one of their several comfy leather chairs abd decided to enjoy my Arturo Fuente. The other guys in there were welcoming and eager to join me in conversation. Other than being in Lynchburg spending time with family this was one of the highlights of my trip. Great atmosphere and great conversation. When in town, I'll be back.

I have no idea about a thing else in the store, but if you carry a thing, you are going to have to handle more reviews, and this is about cigars. Awful. I don't think their humidors are even plugged in. They might seem to have a large selection but when you look closely, things are out of stock, cigars were in mismatched boxes, and the one I bought to smoke right then was so dried out the wrapper was flaking off. Stay far away if you want cigars. My advice to this joint is to just stop carrying cigars. Why would you even bother if you obviously don't give AF? Why? Just don't. It's embarrassing.

The other day as I was driving down Campbell Ave, I noticed that a new establishment had opened in…read morethe heart of Downtown Roanoke. As I got closer and read the window sign with the store's name, I was able to discover that it was a cigar store and lounge. To be clearer, it was named Bison Head Cigar and Lounge. After being awarded the Yelp NC Triad Squad Yelper of the Year 2024 Award at the Yelpies Award Ceremony last year, an event that honored the highest-performing Yelp Elites, celebrating their contributions and accomplishments throughout the year, I decided that this year, as an All-Star Yelp Elite, I not only wanted to be the first to discover new restaurants and businesses, and bring them to the attention of the public, but also to uncover those found in hidden paths that for one reason or another have not reached the public in its totality. Bison Head Cigar and Lounge, in Downtown Roanoke, Virginia, is a perfect example. Cigars have played a very important role throughout the years. People have enjoyed smoking them after having a good meal and an after dinner drink. We've also had a long-standing tradition of new fathers handing out cigars to celebrate the birth of a child. This custom being symbolic of the father's pride and achievement in becoming a parent.This tradition has Native American origins and evolved over centuries, particularly during times when men were not present during childbirth and would smoke cigars to pass the time while waiting. The custom gained popularity in Colonial America and continued through the 20th century, as fathers waited outside the birthroom (which was often a separate room in the home) and smoked cigars to manage the anxiety and pass the hours. While less common today due to hospital birth and changing social norms, it remains a cherished and endearing gestures for many proud parents. The act is a way to share the happy news and celebrate with friends, family, and colleagues. Many new fathers now choose other ways to celebrate, but giving out cigars is still a thoughtful way to mark this momentous occasion. Over the years, cigar smoking has become integrated into various cultural practices and traditions. From a way to celebrate victories (such as the example mentioned above) to a symbol of power and relaxation for world leaders, to simply an enjoyable experience after having an exquisite meal, to watching a football game on a large screen tv in a relaxing ambiance, such as in cigar lounges found in major cities. Cigar lounges are social spaces designed for people to relax and enjoy cigars, featuring comfortable seating. Private lounges require a membership fee to join. While Public lounges, such in the case of Bison Head Cigar & Lounge, are open to anyone, offering a casual and inclusive environment. When I visited this new business, a very friendly and distinguished gentleman warmly greeted and welcomed me to the establishment. He gave me a tour of the place which consisted of a large size room with an extensive variety of cigars for sale in boxes or individually. And a comfortable lounge in a relaxed environment containing leather furniture and a large screen TV. The classic elegance of its exposed brick walls and hardwood floors makes this cigar lounge a haven for cigar aficionados. Especially in a time when finding a suitable place to enjoyba good cigar is both difficult and expensive. Here, all customers have to do is purchase their cigars there for the privilege of enjoying lounge alone, or in the company of good friends, while having pleasant conversations or viewing a football game on their large screen TV. Even though the current cigar variety is extensive, I would like to suggest the implementation of a special ordering service. This would allow customers to request specific, currently unavailable cigars, which the store could then source for them, incorporating a profit margin. This addition would cater to discerning patrons and enhance customer loyalty.

There's not many places to enjoy a stick in Roanoke, and it is in the perfect location in the Square. I was given a great recommendation, and Andrew was knowledgeable about the cigars. I picked up a new stick. Going to make this my every weekend spot to enjoy a Saturday or Sunday stick. One recommendation for the future...could there be chocolate or hot coffee for purchase to go with the cigars? Some cigars pair well with both.
