This was a great place to enjoy a couple drinks and chill during the hottest hour of the day. Absolutely fabulous drinks made perfectly and a chill feeling that helped us take a breath and regain some energy.

The place definitely has the good ole boy back room feel. Its like a throwback to what cigar lounges use to be. The good ole boys club that cater to men. The dark furniture really poor lighting. I did rather enjoy smoking in the what it was back in the day feel lounge. Not woman friendly at all unless she likes that back room type feel. Only thing missing is the secret door knock lol.

This was a wonderful end to our day. The staff were friendly, great selection of cigars including my preferred brand, Hiram and Soloman. The seating was comfortable and the overall atmosphere was inviting. We will be back next time we are in town.

This place is outstanding! The cigar selection is up to par and the bar selection is not that bad. I had to wait 30 minutes for a drink but thats because there were people there from some event cant blame the fine establishment. Cigar prices are just as expected, a little high but lets face it its worth every penny. The humidor is perfect with humidity control and the cigars are in perfect condition 👌. Could use some smoke eaters though, the place was filled with smoke, even with the doors wide open.

I happen to be there on a Sunday afternoon and it was very low keyed. The staff was friendly and they have a nice selection although I think its a little pricey. I enjoyed one of their house blends that was very well constructed. I plan on going back again during my stay this week.

Cool cigar bar right on Canal St. with great selection of cigars. Laid back attitude atmosphere with Latin music playing in the background. Prices are a bit expensive but given that youre right on Canal St. its reasonable.

A wonderful cigar bar near many of the Convention Center hotels. They know their cigars and whiskeys, and have a nice selection of each. The prices are a little higher than Im used to, but in line for the Convention Center area. Plenty of comfortable chairs and couches. I highly recommend a visit if youre in the area.

Checked their website, said they closed at 11 pm. Walked a mile in light rain to get here and they are locked up tight. I know they are open for business because I walked by earlier and they were open. Im standing in front of their shop now and their lighted sign says they close at 11 pm as well. Its before 8 pm. Obvious bad management.

This is a nice cigar lounge to sit down and have a nice cigar. The only problem is they have overpriced cigars Ive been to hundreds of cigar lounges across the country one thing a lot of them fail to do is to stock their humidor with mid-range cigars. Not everybody wants to spend 15 to $25 on a cigar I prefer the $10 cigar and sometimes Ill buy a $15 cigar. But sometimes I like to get a cheaper cigar Alec Bradley makes a great line of cigars Im just using them as one example.other than that I give them a good rating but they need to get some more midlines cigars.

This is a great place to relax, get away from the crowds and enjoy a quality cigar with the drink of your choice. It houses an extensive collection of high quality tobacco products. It has a well stocked bar and the employees are attentive and courteous. I always stop in when im in NOLA.

I liked the place a lot but some fat guy behind the counter got in my face about lighting up a cigar in the place unless I had bought it there. He rudely instructed me to not light that cigar up unless I had bought it there. I told him I bought it there (which I had) and he calmed down. Other than that it was a good experience.

Family owned cigar shop - theres something for everyone. Short walk from Bourbon Street, the casino, or the Convention Center. They even have their own brand - bold and delicious.

Been here 20 minutes and love it. Decent cigar selection and full bar. Friendly staff and the only place Ive ever found that has a very good house blend. Overpriced cigars (not the worst prices Ive seen) but I dont imagine rent is cheap around here. Ill be here on a daily basis until I go home!

Review №73

For months I have tried to get here. A friend at a Cigar Bar in Baton Rouge recommended it. I fought traffic on Canal Street, paid for parking at a garage, walked from the garage to the spot. I selected a cigar. The gentleman who helped me in the humidor was awesome! I then went to pay. Dude at checkout was sooooo rude!!!! He asked if I wanted my cigar to go. I said no Ill smoke it here. It was 11:18 PM. He said we are closing in 20 minutes. I said I thought you closed at 12AM. He replied, I dont want to ask you to get up because were closing in 20-25 minutes. I left. I have no need to ever go back. The whole reason for leaving the house was to enjoy a smoke THERE! Really bad customer service. Too much hassle to get there and park etc. A real let down.

Excellent place to light up in New Orleans. I tried them all. It is located on an easy to find street if you are a tourist. The casino is two blocks down. They have a great selection of cigars, very spacious, bar, and friendly staff. It will be my only destination for cigars on my next trip to New Orleans.

Great place on Canal Street to enjoy a cigar. During the week and weekwnds during football and basketball season you can sit back and enjoy the game.Dons has a huge walk-in humidor with a variety of great cigars to choose from. They also have a full bar and bartender with leather couch and chair seating throughout.My favorite time to go is during the summer, when the front doors are opened to canal street.

A smaller selection of cigars and the prices are HIGH. The lounge is comfortable, but they pushed us out about 10 minutes early so they could close up. There are far better places to go within a few blocks, youll just need to bring your own drinks when you visit them

Came to New Orleans for business. Wanted a drink and a cigar after the drive to decompress. Decided to try Don Leoncio in lieu of the cigar bar which has a branch in my hometown of Pensacola. Upon entry I was greeted by an elder gentleman simply with a smile and knod acknowledging my own. Stepped into the humidor followed by the gentleman to grab my go-to Arturo Fuente. After inquiry as to the location of a my choice he directed me surprisingly to a cheaper cigar from the same establishment. It immediately clicked with me that this man was less interested in hard salesman tactics employed by many cigar shops and was simply protecting anothers best interests in regards to flavor. Taken aback by the situation I agreed out of curiosity and was not disappointed. After checking out I glanced to my right to see an open bar and asked for the hour it closed. I proceeded to the bar with my wife, several businessmen occupied the seats to the left of the bar so we posted in the stools on the opposite side, across from where the bartender Luis was. It was a decision I came to be grateful of. Upon requesting a mojito for my wife based off praise I saw on prior reviews I was informed they stopped making mojitos two weeks before our arrival. Instead I requested a sweet drink for my wife, Luis picked up intuitively on my wifes cocktail preference and said he would make a cocktail he made for his wife which was almost identical to the one I make for mine. I ordered two shots of Macallan 12 on the rocks. I got four shots on the rocks in two glasses but was only charged for two. After my wife finished her drink she decided to sip from the second glass. After a few sips Luis read the distaste on her face and offered to hit the drink with Sprite to be more palatable for her. While he was diluting the drink he read my glance at the pouring with remarkable precision of human understanding and began telling a story about how his wife mixed beer and coke at their wedding. I rarely encounter people with such instinctive ability to read others. We had an enjoyable exchange regarding numerous topics in a short period of time involving stories and opinions from Luis, my wife and myself. We paid our tab, I asked for his name and we left. Hands down the most personable bartending experience Ive had in some time. Luis embodies what traditional bartenders strived for but its simply his character and not forced in the slightest. Hes the real deal. Him and the fellow who assisted me in the humidor who I later found out to be his father were both genuinely kind people. To recieve that kind of treatment in a city that capitalizes on abusing tourists is all the more shocking. I wish I could take this establishment home with me. I wish only the best in their future endeavors and recommend it to all who want a cigar or simply want to relax.

Only real cigar lounge Ive seen in town. Dont be suprised by the prices of cigars here. If you are in the big city expect to pay a little bit more. This is due to the use of the facilities and the differences in taxes.I found exactly what I wanted to smoke. Nice big humidor with a very wide selection. Prices ranged from low to high.The staff were very nice and thry also filled my lighter.Thank youJohn
